hallow all
i have an htc diamond 2 , only problem is on sms massages , text is too small and difficult to read, any ideas on how to make text letters on sms bigger???
thanks
Hi!
1) Slide touchflo to the settings tab (the last one)
2) Press the left soft button that should say something like all settings (or maybe "more", I don't have a WWE ROM so I really don't know what the button label is). This will bring up the regular windows mobile settings dialog.
3) Select the screen or display icon
4) In the screen dialog select the last tab at the bottom, I should say something like text size
5) Slide the text size slider to desired value
6) You may have to soft reset the device for the changes to be effective

Edited the thread title for a little more clarity.
Also, have you tried sliding your finger on the zoom bar? I know the original Diamond supports zooming SMS text with the capacitive area.

Hi!

thank you very much for your advice, i have try all but unfortunately nothinkg works, on received sms text still too small, any ideas ? or any program that might fix this?
Thanks
Hi!
Could you please provide some more information regarding how you actually reads your messages. There are at least 3 different places to read a SMS
1) The touchflo SMS tab
2) The touchflo contact SMS tab
3) The regular windows mobile messages application
The suggested solutions mentioned so far only changes the font size in the regular windows mobile messages application (alternative 3). I think the font size in the touchflo interface is hard coded by HTC, and is not changeable without decompiling the touchflo script files and changes the values. This is not something you wants to do, I guess there are only a couple of people in this entire forum capable of performing that task.

ok , nice question , now we getting somewhere , on regular windows sms i can read the text size which i have selected on my system - screen -text size, but needs for someone to play around with a couple of buttons to be able to see that text, also is not that user friendly , (for me at least).
now on the other two cases touchflo sms tabs and touchflo contact sms the text is very small. the last two cases i find it friendly and easy to use and navigate around your sms history with that person.
Thanks a lot.
Regarding SMS editing
DO you know how to solve the problem of the textbox size (to small, you can see only one or 2 lines) when editing an sms from the sms list view ? (e.g. when you want to reply on the same windows where you read the received sms).
Thanks
On WM6.1
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\RichEditHostFontFace
That's only the text box that you type in, not the window that displays the messages. If anyone know the messages one, let me know
In settings there is a setting where you change the text size. Make that bigger and SMS will be bigger..

The Messaging application in WM6 (SMS, email etc.) uses a very large font. You have to scroll a lot to read a lengthy message.
WM6 has screen font control settings (>Start>Settings>System>Screen>Text Size) but these only seem to affect the 'home' screen.
Is there any way of getting the nice small WM3 font size back for emails and SMS's?
The Text Size setting actually DOES control the text size in messages. Sounds like you have some other hack enabled that is messing with it. Pocket Outlook uses Internet Explorer's rendering engine to display text, if you have an IE hack going, it can affect PO.
Hi Looper - did you ever find a solution? I'm in the exact same boat. The font size is killing me. My IE browsing font size is smallest but that doesn't impact the rest of Outlook
God damn it... I had the same problem and spent half a night on resolving it But there You go!
Navigate to:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\RichEditHostFontSize
and change the value from 10 to 8
Thanks, Pajak!
This is an excellent hack. Not only does this make it easier to read incoming messages, the area for composing a message is now 2 full lines (instead of the dreadfully annoying 1.6 lines or whatever).
Muchas gracias!
i canr find HKLM where is it?

You have to use a registry explorer
Hello there users of Pro . Two short question about some annoying thing in our cool ppc.
1. Is there any way to disable sms notification bubble. I mean this cloud in bottom of the screen which appear when new sms / mms is received?
2. Is there some possibility or program which can help with mapping sms/mms button on full keyboard (draw out keyboard) to PocketCM?
Thanks for help.

for the bubble
go to sounds notification settings
go to receive sms then you can choose what things happen from there including turning off on screen notification
as far as the button im not sure but i hope so since thats one thing il really miss from the 8525 the message button is real nice
is pocketcm all that useful when 6.1 has the threaded sms and it has touchflo?
Thanks for so fast answer. Yes this solution work fine I was all day looking throw registry to find it, and it was so simple ...
About PocketCM it is I think old habbit, but if there is no know solution to this then maybe I should think to habituate to thouchflo ...
Thanks

noo problem
with the threaded on there is your inbox setup like pocketcm with just one message per recipient or is it in order of message recieved and only threaded when you open it?
In threaded there is one message per person like in PocketCM.
Team,
I am looking for some real help here.
I have a (Vodafone) HTC Touch Pro and have been using this for the last 6 months. I have a condition where my sight is at a fixed focal length. Reading SMS and EMails on this phone is very difficult for me and, at times, impossible. I use glasses but do not carry them with me at all times.
Does anyone know of a way that I can increase the size of the text on SMSs, emails and other areas of the phone? Here is what I have done over the last few months with no luck:
System Text - Basic
I have set the system font size to the biggest available through:
Settings -> System -> Screen -> Text Size -> Largest
I have also ensured that the Sensor Wheel is working when viewing texts by moving this clockwise - the text is at its largest.
This is still too small for me. :-(
Software
I tried using the AdvancedConfigurationTool from http://www.touchxperience.com/
Still no luck there.
I also changed the theme in the hope that I would be able to increase or change the text size - nope.
Finally I used a bit of software that allows the system fonts to be changed, even adding new fonts to the interface (sorry, can't find link). While this updated all text sizes the SMS text remained the same size.
Does anyone think this is the Vodafone branding preventing me from changing the font size? I would not like to invalidate the warranty at this point.
I like the phone but I am really finding it difficult to use as normal. Does anyone have any ideas?
Cheers,
Ricemonk
Thought an upload of what the SMS text is like would help:
I know this may look perfectly normal to almost all users however when on the HTC Touch Pro screen this is much smaller and difficult for me to read.
Open up Messaging and select a Mail Account. Then click on an email to view. From there, go to Menu -> View -> Text Size and select whatever size you want.
This action also effects all other txt in Both Mails & SMS.
Thanks for your reply treo927 however this was already set to highest as I changed the system text to the maximum.
It looks like I am destined to move away from the Touch Pro after only 6 months and on to a Blackberry.
ricemonk,
I recently had the opposite problem to you ... the fonts were too large, they were massive in SMS and email. I tried everything to reduce them in the mail settings.
I recall that I managed to fix it with a font setting from IE ... weird I know, but they must be connected. I cant now find exactly what setting I altered, but it was something in internet explorer.

adamcullen,
Thanks for your reply - I will take a look and fiddle with the settings and let you know how it goes.
Cheers,
Ricemonk
Ricemonk, try SMS Tweaker http://handheld.softpedia.com/progDownload/SMS-Tweaker-Download-62457.html
It's a free program that lets you set the text message font size in normal mode (not threaded mode) up to 16 points. It looks pretty big to me. I hope it works for you.

Thank you. This has helped me increase my font size. I appreciate it a lot.
Ok, I have a T*Mobile HTC Touch Pro2. From the home screen you see a slider bar at the bottom. One of the tabs available is for the SMS/MMS program which if I understand correctly is Manilla. This program is nice but I'm very annoyed that I have to input ONE CONTACT AT A TIME when I send a mass message...which I do very often. So here is what I wanna do...
I want to change the tab so that it pulls up a new SMS/MMS program instead of manilla. Let's call it EXAMPLE_PROG as the app I just installed SMS-CHAT doesn't do MMS as well, so I need to find a different app that includes both AND lets me do some sort of checklist to add multiple contacts at once. If you know of one, lemmie know.
Anywho, I have a registry editor and I have edited my laptop registry before so I know a little of what I am doing and I know that changing things I shouldn't COULD brick my phone. Therefore, I'm asking for help. What do I change so that choosing the MESSAGES tab brings up EXAMPLE_PROG instead?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Is there a CAB to enlarge text for the HD2 for the visually impaired?
Googled, but could not find free CABs.
Thanks
Hi,
I know the following is a workaround and does not directly answer your question, but...
1/ Different fonts display at different sizes, for example Calibri is smaller than Segoe, you could try a larger one.
2/ You can increase the size of much of the text across your phone through settings.
3/ For applications which have font that you cannot resize, you may want to enable pinch to zoom (Zooomer or equivalent).
I'm using SPB Shell 3.5. Pinch to zoom does not seem to work in the HTC message. Have tried changing fonts but still too tiny for me to read, and font size have already been adjusted to the maximum size.
Thank you for your suggestions.
In dire straits, looking for a cab or app to help me read my messages and emails.
Thanks.
edit:- FaceBook and YouTube are fine, I'm able to pinch and zoom. But can't in messages and emails.

I too have ditched sense and gone back to Spb MS. The text in HTC Sense Sms is eye straining. It baffles me why it's so small on such a big screen. When I had the Touch Diamond a while back I was frustrated with the big text on such a small phone.
If you use SPB MS it should default to the native windows messaging app. If you increase the text in e-mail by clicking on menu -> -view -> text size -> , whatever size you choose should also reflect in the default sms app also.
rant: It amazes me that with all the million and one customizations on Xda no one has figured out/ or interested find a reg edit or something that would help increase the font in the HTC Sense sms app.
Back in the days before HTC released Sense there were a million and one ways to modify and change the fonts (enlarge/reduce) in all aspects of the windows OS.
It seems creativity has died with HTC Sense, it's all mods, mods and mods.
Sorry for my rant but do we need to create a bounty for anyone who can find a way to increase the font size in the HTC Sense app.
