Hi, I'd like to make my fonts look like the ones that they advertise with the crossbow. I mean i'd like to have my whole system with those fonts but i don't know how. I've done tons of searching but i could not find anything that would help me change the fonts of my whole system (unless i build my own rom with those fonts but that's too complicated for me). Is there another way? i've found some threads that's suppose to change the fonts but it messed up my fone, others do not change the whole system but just some fonts. All WM6 roms that i've used do not have those fonts that I'm talking about. I'd like to make it like the fonts on this picture. Can someone help me please?
Is there anyone out there who can help/suggest something/make me read another thread/tell me it's not possible/whatever...?anyone?

I don´t think it is so easy - but what about cleartype. The font doesn´t look so different for me. Just cleartype?? Don´t know.
Start - settings - screen - enable cleartype.
And there are registry hacks to enable it also in landscape mode. (Registrywizard or HTweakC)
thanks, but i already have cleartype on. not quite the same but i really appreciate ur reply. With over 240+ views, i finally received a reply. At least i can say ur one of the few people out there who genuinely lend a helping hand to others. I really appreciate it thanks again
Looking at the screengrabs I think they're from a VGA device (a HTC Universal for example), which is why the fonts looks slightly smoother and more rounded. The font on the XDA Exec I borrowed looked a lot nicer than my XDA Mini-S just because it was higher res, despite the actual screen real-estate being used in the same way (IE. although the screen was higher res, everything was larger to compensate). The effect I saw looked just like in some of your screenshots - particularly the first portrait one.
thanks paulmdx!i guess that explains it. it probably looks different because of the vga screen.Thanks, i guess i'll just have to give up on wishing that my fonts be like that
Sorry for my late response...I was suppose to reply back to you after you reminded me that the fonts could be changed...I managed to change the fonts by adding the files to the font folder in the \windows\fonts directory...the extention you are looking for is .ttf...I tried to use a font with a different extention and it didn't work...also if you are looking for fonts then your best bet is http://dafont.com ...they have the best looking fonts, and they have popular fonts used in movies, video games, etc...the one that I am running is aiight, and the one that i put on my girl's is the Walt Disney font...one more thing, after you put the fonts on your ppc you will need to have a program to change the font for you, or you'll need to either change some registry key to enable it (I don't know the keys), or use a program like Tweaks2k2.net to change it...it's not a free program, but you'll be able to use the program 3 times before you have to register it...I don't if you were looking for the font used in WM6 or you were looking for a way to change fonts on the ppc, but anyways here's some info for those who wanted to do this...
Btw this only changes some fonts, but not all of them...it's better this way just in case you put a font that is blurry, too small, etc...while I was trying out fonts for my girl's phone, this happened to me...if all the fonts on the ppc were changed, I wouldn't have been able to find the options easily to change the font...looks awesome though...even my keyboard font changed...my cousin said I'm ghetto because my font looks like tagging lol...
Missing font!
While we are on this topic.....Some of my fonts are messed up!
I installed the 10 button Comm Manager and couldn't get the WLAN to activate. I then went back to the 8 button Comm Manager. Later I found a fix for the 10 and uninstalled the 8. When I did it messed up my fonts. Does anyone have the stock fonts they can send me?

FYI, CHome Weather 2.0 works on the VOX. Please follow the link to see the original thread in the Excalibur forum.

And click here to download the files needed for the Vox.

Hello...just downloaded this version of CHome Weather and it looks amazing...great job. There's only one problem, probably related to the 240x320 cpr file because, like I already read in the excalibur forum, there's an issue in 240x320 where the background looks a little odd and doesn't fit the area like it supposed to. But again amazing job...keep it up
EDIT: I've just used a version of the 240 x 320 cpr file already used in another version of your plugin and it works great now
I was just now testing the other layouts and there are some issues:
- I realized that everytime i change the layout, it doesn't matter the cpr 240x320 file i did put there because when the layout is changed the cpr file is kind of replaced by the one corresponding to the sellected layout.
- In the HTC and Iphone layout, it shows always an icon with a cross below the icon of the current weather, instead of showing the icon corresponding to the weather.
- In regular layout, the gold and silver backgrounds don't work well in 320 x 240.
- In the regular layout, in the 1 and 3 layouts, I can't see the hi and low temperature.
Yeah, you'll have problems with the portrait layouts.
Is it possible to fix the problem with portrait?? That is the last thing, that keeps me from donating.
I am so happy with this program. I worked as Organic M's test subject to get this working. I can't say I notice the problem you guys are talking about in regards to portrait mode.
This is what I see:
have the author, removed the files from the location... I am unable to get those...
Can someone help plzzzzzzz!!!!!!!
Thanks

There are 2 links in the main post at the top of this thread.
The first one is the weather program
The second one is all the files that need to be installed to /windows on your device
Davis,
From your post, it looks like that screen is in ladscape mode. Portrait is taller than wider, yours looks wider than it is taller.
Thanks a lot.. I found the same at the post. I was just eager to get Weather update on my VOX...So got carried away...
Thanks

Well if you put it that way, you'll definitely NOT get me to fix the portrait layouts. How about.. "here's a small donation and small request... I would really appreciate it if you could work on the portrait layouts(which is a major PITA) so this works properly on my phone".
Well then I Only wanted to know if it is possible to do it. But I can live without it. I can look outside to see the weather. You know I made a lot of stuff for the Vox...but I never received ANY donation!!!
works beatifull. got no issues with any layout (i'm using plain black background). excellent job!
the only question i have is if it is possible to manually edit order of appearance on home screen somehow as i could do it in standard homescreens in _home.xml file?

This is definitely NOT what I wanted to happen here. I worked with Organic M to get this app to work with our phone models and he was nice enough to help us out.
This is far from the thanks that he deserves, since the app is designed for an entirely different model.
Why so serious? can't we all just... get along?

I think the Chome Configurator will allow you to change the order of Slides on your Home Screen.

I have no idea what you are talking about....
???
As I said I only wanted to know if it is posible nothing more. And I just wanted to clarify that people here are not thankful! I really do apreciate his work. And the work of all the other coders and cookers! I hope you understand my point!
Does this plugin use necessarily the whole width of the screen, or is it possible to customize its size or layout (present conditions, 2-days forecasts, 5-days forecasts...)?
At present I'm using Fizz Weather with Orange plugin on my Wings, in order to show an analoug clock and weather forecasts next to it (see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=89987&d=1212446950); will it be possible to make the same thing with Chome Weather?
So... is anyone still interested in making this work better with the Vox ? Maybe ask some of your ROM cookers to look at the policies in the registry and ask them remove the restricts that don't allow cab files to copy files to the \windows directory ? Then I wouldn't have to make two separate .cab files when I released a new version That, and if anybody wants to help test the portrait layouts, we can make this happen.
Yes it would be great to see the weather plugin fully working on the Vox...that thing about the restrictions I never understood that because after checking myself the registry many times, I saw that the restrictions were disabled and the thing about installing files in the windows folder still remains a problem...
Is there a way to do this in the registry or so?
Making the message-area bigger in the threaded sms-messaging that is.. because I feel that only three rows is way to little when typing.. tried to raise the bar but it seems hard stuck..
Um? this is limited by your screen size
you can always change the font size to see more...
unless i misunderstood your intention
I think he means that he wants to make the area at the bottom bigger, the area where you type in the message.
afaik you can resize the textbox by editing the "thread_sms.htm" in \Windows\ there is a "height=50" when you change it to 60 you get a bigger textbox
hope that helps

Use Total Commander and search for "thread_sms" and the file will come up. Choose the edit option, and edit away!
very useful... someone's already asked me that before.. i think i'll add it to the guides thread.
sorry, forgot to subscribe to the thread :/ but hope you figured it out
Thank you everyone, I searched and edited the html-file with resco/word at first but it couldn't save the file cuz it said it was used.. then i searched/edited it with total commander and it worked like a charm after a soft reset! Default height was height="35", changed it to 80 = perfect
Cheers

Hey Guys I have searched and searched, does anyone have anything to change the font and font size? My font on the TP2 Verizon MightyRom SE is way to small to see without readers. can someone please help? Thanks in advance, keith
Depends on what fonts you want to change. I would suggest you start searching....might have to search 10 different ways before you can find what you want.

Try NueFonts. Its a small program that allows you to change the system font in various locations on your TP2. To change the font you just save a font file in you "windows\fonts" folder and then open this program and click on the drop down menu to find the font you uploaded to the fonts folder and change the size on the right hand side of the drop down menu for each font section. When you run the program you will understand these instructions. Hope this helps.

Or simply don,t post if you don,t want to help
Greetz. ( And if you want to know, i once asked for help to )
A little help in case it's needed...
I think I know what you are aiming at...
1./ You'd like to change your wallpaper. It's the easiest thing what you can do on a WM device, just go to Windows Settings > Home > Mark "Use this picture as the background" and Browse your file(s).
Or in the Manila settings go to Personalize and then to Home tab wallpaper, and select a file...
Or if you want to have the same background in All Tabs, install CHT Editor, and then in the Home Tab click "Menu", and select Set Wallpaper.
Here you can find as many pictures as you want...
2./ You want to have a percentage-displayed battery icon, don't you? THIS will do the trick (works only on the 1.66 ROMs!), just download and then install to the Device Memory, do an SR, and experience the difference!
If you have a dissimilar ROM to 1.66, download this "circular" % battery icon! THREAD LINK (XDA)
Hope I could help...

Sorry, the HD2 have "Sense 2.5" interface, instead of Manila, I made a mistake when I wrote it. The Manila 2D / 3D is the former interface on the older HTC phones, but since the Touch Diamond 2 it has changed to Sense 2.x!
So the Sense is the main interface on the HD2, it appears first when you switch your device on, and if you want to change the wallpaper, go to Settings Tab > Personalize > Home tab wallpaper and select a file of yours.
You can find out what ROM version you have at the Settings Tab as well, just go to "About Phone" and choose "Software information", and check "ROM version" out!
I have
Manila version 2.5.20
Rom version 1.72.206
Radio version 2.07
Will the clock download work for me ?

Hi John,
It wasn't my intention to be rude, actually I was trying to be helpful. Although I must admit that I could have used some more/other words. I really think that the best help is to learn to use the search function. I've also asked for help, even frequently, but never after I searched for the answer myself.
Sincerely,
Mac
