Is it possible to change anything in activity displays? I'd like to enlarge distance font in swim display.
So far I saw only modified icons and fonts with special characters. But not with bigger/smaller font size. Not sure if that's possible.
Thank you.
I bought MB4 mainly of the possibility of counting the long distance in the pool. For me the digits are too small to read without glasses. It would be good if this distance could be displayed on the main displays as steps or heart rate.
P.S. Nech ťa veľká myš sprevádza!
I need HR big font size and time. Why are they releasing small font size displays?!

Hi all,
The Manila interface is great, I like it very much but I have a small problem; the font size is too small and thin which makes it hard to read messages in SMS tab especially under sun light or day light, bright conditions.
Is there a way to change the font size or perhaps make the font italic, underlined or bold option for SMS tab?
Thanks in advance.
Try:
Settings -> System -> Screen -> Text size
That only changes the text size in native Windows Mobile dialogs; like sms inbox etc. not in Manila interface. So I am still trying a solution.

i have seen a mod in which ther's a button to increase or decrease font size in message tab..
i haven't found it in the net anyway...
No unfortunately not; there are two similar threads as http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=539091 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=471604 but the method in these threads change the system fonts completely. There's not an easy way to play with the manila interface fonts (size, color etc.) as afar as I know.
It's good one way that the new manila interface develops with each version but it reduces chances to tweak it for power users. May be that's the way HTC wants it, who knows.
Regards.
thanks for that info.
Personally, i think that it sucks that so much work has gone into making such a nice interface (i.e. the manilla interface) and yet no provisions were make to allow for the (seemingly simple) capability to alter the system font size. I understand that changing the font-face might not be so easy (who knows what fonts each of us might have installed) but the font size... really?

p.s. sorry for ranting.
So I changed the "adaptive zoom" to 100 because I didn't like how images were stretched out on mobile sites and the like to compensate for the much higher resolution on the TP2. However, the font size also changed so the font in general for a lot of sites is very small. I've tried manually changing the value in User Prefs (Minimum Font Size) and such, but the changes don't stick if I change the text level under Display Settings to something else and go back.
What have you guys been doing about the font size? I prefer mobile sites for a lot of websites liek Google Reader and such because they load faster and such. Thanks for the help in advance.
Hey all, I read over the forums a bit, and I saw quite a few threads about changing just the SMS font size, but not changing the rest of the System font sizes. I have figured out a way to do it for the tilt 2 for AT&T.
The font size is not really the issue when it comes to the SMS font. The issue relis on the zoom of the screen. The SMS screen for texting carry a different setting for zoom, and it saves it when you change it. If you want to change the size of the SMS font, simply increase or decrease the zoom of the screen. This will only affect the SMS texting screen, and not the rest of the system.
Hope this helps everyone ^_^.
Font Zoom
Thanks for that tip to increase the font size in my text messages. I don't even know how I reduced them--just, one day, I couldn't even read them without my magnifying glasses. This fixed it right up. I selected a text, scrolled the zoom bar and, BAM! Back to readable.

I have a verizon phone that is unlocked, using with at&t. My zoom bar does not work with sms. Do you have any idea how to get it to work. I am to the point that I need reading glasses to see the small SMS text size and yes I have it set to the largest size in wm6.5.
I don't know what's the problem or the solution but when I change fonts with fontchanger, sometimes the font will display squares when the text goes to the "....." when it's too long to fit a word in the space allocated.
You know what I mean? Like say a text box only has space for "automo" in automobile.
Then it displays
automo....[]
any fix to this? Seems like almost all fonts do this.
Hi, I'm developing a material design calculator but I have a problem: How could I do to adapt buttons to alla screen size? For example on mi Xperia S buttons are too small! If you want screenshot or the xml code tell me it. I'm sorry for my bad english I'm only 14 XD
Hi,
You need to use the size in DP instead of PX and use max/min size attribute on your XML file
Start using dp (density independent pixels), they are designed to scale a graphic to "real-life size" for example 48dp is a little bigger than the size of our fingers and is the recommended size for buttons in order to be easily touchable.
If you need more info about density independent pixels read from Android Developer's page "Supporting Different Densities" (I'm new here and I can't post URLs, just google it).
At first you need to read "Support multiple screens" article on android developer website.
For my opinion the best way is to use wrap_content match_parent instead of pixels.
Hi,
Since you mentioned you're making a calculator app, while using "dp" for button dimensions, I also suggest you look into using "weights".
These can evenly space out your buttons in a layout.
To use weights in Android, your content must be wrapped in a LinearLayout.
