Searched - nothing came up. So, the question is, is it possible to set the tab height somehow for default windows like Start -> Settings, where there are 3 tabs - Personal, System and Connections?
Thanks.
hmm.. first time i've stumbled into this issue.. i'll look it up
OK, thanks in advance!
Shouldn't have thanked You in advance... It's been like two weeks and even after I sent You a PM nothing has been going on. If You can't make it, please say so, it sucks to leave people waiting...
The tab height is controlled solely by the text within it. By default this is system font Tahoma 8pt. In .NET, there is no property or method to change the height of the tab, you can only change the type or size of font and the tabs will then be resized to accomodate it.
If the window uses the system font, in the case of Settings, it's a certainty, then the only way you would have any control over it is to change the system font. There are several articles here on xdadevs to tell you how, search Windows Mobile Change System Font, and pick one. The downside is, it will apply to everything, not just tabs, whether you want it to or not.
Thanks for the thorough reply! I guess I won't be changing the system font because of the other drawbacks...
Hi guys,

it looks like my topaz when i tried new font, so try to change yours and it should be ok
Agreed with the above. It's the font size. Either 1. Install a new font. or 2. Re-make the font a little smaller.

Well ... thks for those precious information. Unfortunately, this is what I thought ... too. I should have added that I wanted to keep the fonts. I like those two
I tried to change font size with SK or tweak but with any results.
Any other suggestion ?
Have you tried setting up an alias? Its a registry tweak
Code:
HKLM → System → GDI → V1 → FontAlias
Key: [B]<fontNameToChange>[/B]: [B]<fontSizeToChange>[/B]
Value: [B]<newName>[/B]: [B]<newSize>[/B]
for example:
Code:
key: MS Sans Serif:-13
value: Arial:-14
will change all MS Sans Serif fonts in size 13 to Arial size 14
but you have to find out which size you have
keep in mind that this change is system-wide, it will affect not only today screen, but all apps with same fontname and size.
while i havent tried this, couldnt you edit the lua file (CalendarConsts.luac) and just change the line font size in there?

Hi,
I have allready alias in the registgry and how you said ... the most difficult is to find which size I have. I tried several settings out but gave nothing. Probably I used inapropriate combinations. How to find it out ?
However, something looks strange ...
This was my registry setting before I tried to change fonts size
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\V1\FontAlias]
Arial:-14="Tahoma:-12"
MS Sans Serif:-13="Tahoma:-9"
version=dword:0002000C
This is my registry setting after I changed fonts size
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\V1\FontAlias]
Arial:-14="Tahoma:-12"
MS Sans Serif:-13="Tahoma:-9"
version=dword:0002000C
And whatever fonts I install (with diffent sizes), registry settings above remains identical. That means there is no relation beetwen original installed fonts and graphic fonts, no ? The best way is certainly to change size in the original graphic font. I saw somewhere an app and a tuto explaining how to create your own graphic fonts ... Have to find it again

hi bro, look like only the numbers are the problem. You can use font creator to resize them. ( but its NOT freeware ).
Can you upload that font that you are using here?

Question regarding using Fonts Creator application ...
The installed font for TF3D uses :
cour.ttf
Helvetica Neue OTS.ttf
HelveticaNeue LT 35.ttf
HelveticaNeueOTS.ttf
Tahoma.ttf
Tohamabd.ttf
Wingding.ttf
Which one of those fonts do I need to resize with the app ?

I think you misunderstood what alias is supposed to do
You have to create new key with font name and size, so in your case, the name of key should be something like "Comic Sans: -18" (that minus sign stands for relative height, as you know it from Word, without minus sign it will take a height in pixels). The key value then should be for example "Comic Sans: -16". That will cause that everything that was displayed in Comic Sans 18 will be shown in Comic Sans 16.
You just have to figure out the correct font name and the font size that is used on today.
And repeat the same for Manilla calendar. Seems like you have different font in that app.

Yep, it becomes clearer. However it seems, this works only if you have classical fonts and not graphical fonts composed by assembly of different fonts as well as you pointed it out.
That's a nightmare this manila and this TF3D
manila uses these:
Helvetica Neue OTS
HelveticaNeue LT 35 Thin (that's not a typo, no space between helveticaneue)
I think aliasing will work on any font you enter. Just get the right name ;-)
I am using SKTools to figure out font names (Tune Up - Fonts - there is a list of fonts). But I am sure there is a "freeware" way to figure it out For example Total Commander and his Change Font menu in About screen

Hi,
Thks for you patience ... it will cost me 2 beers next time I go to Tchequie However, even I did harder thinks in my life, I am being probably stupid and I am unable to bring it out.
Lets have a look on enclosed files :
For test, I reduced all fonts size categories to 200 p with SK Tools but only popup menu's fonts decreassed .... and no manila fonts and no TF3D fonts ! No lucky to with MaxTTM (here I got an system error ...)
I fiddle somethig with the registry ... no luck again ! Certainly wrong, what I did. Nowhere to manage HelveticaNeue in SK Tools
Yes, for special thinks ... I am a noob especially for the time
Your future help, comments, solution (ie correct my screenshots and send them back) will be welcome

Hi bro, have check your cab file. And I see the problem. Its made up of 3 different type of fonts. So resizing them wont be simple or easy for me. Perhaps others with more skill can try. Why not you try this fonts that I pack for Topaz. Just click on the link below:

Hi,
I love this Bro .. will try to remerber it
Thks any way for the ole Cambria Italic ... I will keep my ComicFonts and give up for the other exotic fonts until I find a solution (if there is one)
Hi Bro ...s
HERE WE GO !! Finally I got it !
Probably I did not chose the best way to solve my font layout problem, but I did it.
How did I make it? Simple ... (say it quick) because in fact it is not really simple. Find somewhere on the net, Fontcreator app (V5 or V6 better).
1- Open all fonts or just this one which is concerned by :
tahomabd.ttf -> WM bold font (task and bottombar and ...)
or
tahoma.ttf -> WM6.5 regular font (regular text)
or
HelveticaNeueOTS.ttf -> TF3D Regular Font (all titles text in TF3D tab.)
or
HelveticaNeue LT 35 Thin.ttf -> TF3D Bold Font (all small text in TF3D tab)
2- Check and/or adjust "the left side bearing point" in "Glyphs transformer" in "tools"
3- Check and/or adjust "metrics" for the glyphs (space before and after glyphs)
4- If necessary, adjust glyphs width and/or height by using outlines scale in Glyphs Transformer
5- Save your font(s), rebuild your cab, install on your D2
Guys ... Usually fonts looking nice on website page but once installeted on your ppc, they are unreadable. Beware of using fonts coming from other forum or thread. Incredible what you can find in the cab or in the font files ! Amazing !
Enclosed two fonts cabs with correct layout for D2 and in case in ... zip file with original fonts.
*******
I remain opened to any other solution ... for futur font changing because this was the worst ! There should be a way to change some other parameters in WM6.5 or TF3D
Cheers
Hi Bros
There an other way to correct a wrong layout due to inadapted font size !!!!!
Forget those all previous posts from every one above ... to much work and to wasted time. However, I have learned how to manage FontCreator
Go to windows directory and copy and paste to your desktop (or some where else), the files "Titanium_800x480.cpr" and "Titanium_480x800.cpr" Open them with notepad or any other txt editor. Go to <!-- Title text --> find the concerned "ID Text" and change the values, you want or, that need to be changed (color, size, layout ....)
You just need to stay clear headed about what do you want.
Have fun
Hey guys. I'm currently using a HTC Snap and I just updated it to WM6.5. The problem now is that I can't seem to change the font size of the sms. In WM6.1 there was an option to change it (Apparently under Settings>System>Screen or something like that). I can't find any way to change the font size now. Is there something I can do to change it? Appreciate any help. Thanks!
I also get the same problem. I wish to change font size (not font) in some applications. I have no guess how to do.
Please any suggestions?
the zoom tool on the att tilt 2 works to change the font size...
edit your registry...

Hey, this helped me, thanks! But does anyone know wich registry controls the Inbox font size? What I want is to have more messages/chats/dialogues/e-mails at a time. Now, in sms or email-inbox I can see 6 items(portrait) without scrolling. With other Skins I've been able to see about 10 or 12.
So I guess what needs to be changed is "inbox font size" and "space between items in inbox".
I'm comfortable with reg-changes, so I don't necessarally need a cab, just need to know what to edit!
Pretty please?
EDIT: Nevermind, it was right there in settings>system>screen>text size. *whistle*
Does anyone know how to change the size of the text in Opera Mobile 10's text input box... that opens when entering stuff into a web form? I've played with the minimum font size under user prefs and the input font sizes under fonts, but I have not found anything that changes the size of the text as I'm typing it into a form... just like this one! Hope that makes sense!
Any help would be appreciated!
Moved as not software release.
The best place to get an answer on this is in Opera Mobile Official Thread
Have a look on my signature.
Good luck,
First of all, I am rooted. I have searched through pages and pages to try to track down an initial setting for S Note to configure font. I know how to change font within text, or after doing handwriting to text. However, I would like S Note to always type in Ariel 8pt instead of the huge Robotic 16pt font used by default. I don't need to be able to see integrals from across campus, so 16pt is a little large for my taste.
My question is, is there a configuration file which can be edited somewhere with root explorer?

Install Xposed Framework and then App Settings module. From there you can change font scale.

Unfortunately, no joy on the font scaling adjustment. Got framework and app settings installed, scaled it down to 50 with no change in the default font size for handwriting to text. It isn't a huge deal, was just hoping to adjust something that will hopefully be considered with the next software update.
