Help please! Quote:

Re: How to increase the font sizes in N900
Did you miss out part 2 Section 12?
12. type "ls *.css" to see the 3 files you need to edit try adding .css to the end of part 13 13. type "leafpad MessagingWidgetsSMSConversations.css". This will load for editing the config file that I have just had redo this since I upgraded to PR 1.2 adding the .css to the end of those 3 lines is the only addition I had to make. HTH Zero |

To change the SMS and IM font sizes you have to edit 3 other files, not the GTKRC in the theme folder that we edited in Part 1. I'll try to revise part 2 to make this clearer: Part 2: Changing the SMS/IM conversation and single SMS font size Open x-terminal and type "sudo gainroot" like before if you had not yet done so. 11. Type "cd /usr/share/rtcom-messaging-ui/html" note the space after the letters cd! 12. type "ls *.css" to see the 3 files you need to edit. The command "ls" means "list" 12A. The three (3) files that you will see are: MessagingWidgetsSMSConversation.css MessagingWidgetsChatConversation.css MessagingWidgetsSingleSMS.css 13. type "leafpad MessagingWidgetsSMSConversation.css". This will load for editing the configuration file that controls the size of the fonts we see in the SMS conversation screen 14. Locate the section "div.message {". This is close to the top of the file 15. Place the blinking cursor after the "{" then press <enter> to insert a blank line under "div.message {" 16. type "font-size: 32px;" (without the quotation marks of course, and note the semi-colon after px) 17. press <enter> again to create another blank line below (optional) 18. I used 32px (pixels) in my case but you can use any size. The size of the avatar is 64 pixels so 32 pixels is half height 19. Save the edited file by using the pull-down save command then "x" to exit after saving 20. Type "leafpad MessagingWidgetsChatConversation.css". 21. Repeat steps 14 to 19 22. Type "leafpad MessagingWidgetsSingleSMS.css" 23. Repeat steps 14 to 19 except for single SMS I used 38px instead of 32px for greater visibility 24. Done. Exit leafpad, exit X-terminal then reboot and enjoy the bigger fonts:) Please be very careful when using x-terminal with root access enabled because you can damage your phone if done incorrectly. Check spellings carefully and see that you haven't accidentally erased or modified any other config entries other than the ones shown above. This is how I did it in mine but of course I cannot assume any responsibility that it will work in yours. But look at the screen shots I posted to see what the results are when you do this right:D |
Re: How to increase the font sizes in N900
Thanks you for the details! I will try to follow your description.
BTW, would you happen to know what I need to look name as for one of the default themes Digital Nature in the Xterm?? I don't see the Digital Nature. Quote:

Re: How to increase the font sizes in N900
I think its under "default". The NSeries is "Alpha"
I edited the font sizes all the themes that I have installed so no problem when changing themes. |
Re: How to increase the font sizes in N900
Sorry to report, once I get to the leaf pad and to section 14 I only get a blank page .
BTW, I do see the 3 files you are talking about. I have done this over and over, followed your instructions step by step. Something is not right!! Quote:

leafpad MessagingWidgetsSMSConversation.css leafpad MessagingWidgetsIMConversation.css leafpad MessagingWidgetsSingleSMS.css In my case, I did not see MessagingWidgetsIMConversation.css, but MessagingWidgetsChatConversation.css. so I typed leafpad MessagingWidgetsChatConversation.css |
Re: How to increase the font sizes in N900
Working perfectly
Thanks a lot. |
Re: How to increase the font sizes in N900
Hi Bongc36,
one question: when you open leafpad MessagingWidgetsSingleSMS.css. there is a div.message * { first and as you scroll down there is a div.message {. we insert the font-size: 38px on the latter one, correct? thanks |

By mistake i put it with the star , but it make some problem in message appearance as it was not showing probably. However, put it in the "div.message {.". Good luck. |

div.Message *{ font-size: 38px; white-space: normal; } and it worked:) I don't know if it will work if placed under the 2nd one. Oh I see just now that Ahmoda has put it under the 2nd div. message and it worked for him too so maybe it doesn't matter http://i770.photobucket.com/albums/x...ScrnShot01.png |

Re: How to increase the font sizes in N900
Any idea on how I can restore the water theme (blue)?
I tweaked the fonts, but for some reason I get the water background but in contacts and stuff I get white backgound with very tiny fonts. I'm not sure what happened there. Any help would be appreciated! Quote:

Re: How to increase the font sizes in N900
This is what I need to do, but where do I find the options?
If I select themes, I am given two options, nseries and digital nature, with no sub menus or anything? This phone is doing my head in!!! Appreciate any simple guidance, thanks. |

2. Type "sudo gainroot". If you had installed the rootsh mentioned above this will allow you to edit files 3. Type "cd /usr/share/themes" 4. Type "ls" to display the installed themes. you will see "default", "alpha". but you wont see nokia, nseries or digital nature, so nothing will happen when you type any of the 3 bec it does not exist. try typing default (maybe nseries) or alpha (maybe digital nature) |
Re: How to increase the font sizes in N900

I'm beginner in Maemo theming and this is very early release with only small part of graphics made. I would suggest not to use this theme before announcement. I'm working on making it usable. :) |
Re: How to increase the font sizes in N900
Ministeri, Great to here from you. I must say your theme is the best one with potential!!
I have it installed but not using it due to not being able to read the phone numbers and the missing keyboard characters, also the lock screen would be nice to change from the nokia Nseries. Please, Please hurry up and update this theme, it would be a BIG hit for the N900 Thanks!! Quote:

Thanks, this is absolutely great explanation. My eyes aren't what they used to be either, so I can see again. One question though. When increasing the font size I run out of room in some of the menus (see attached screen shot). I am sure this can be adapted somewhere, but I can't seem to find it. Any help would be appreciated.

Re: How to increase the font sizes in N900
Thanks, that does indeed work to a certain extent, but I keep running out of space. I will keep looking for a way to increase the buttons themselves.

Re: How to increase the font sizes in N900
I was enjoying this modification and my eyes were happy to be able to see whats on the screen with enlarged fonts, but after PR1.3 I guess file structures have chaged. I can't apply the changes described here.
@d-iivil Yes, I know your Theme Customizer and I installed it. Unfortunately 2 drawbacks: one - maximum level you provide is +5, which is not enough for me. two - you apply same + or - value to ALL fonts, whereas I need different values applied. As you give us the possiblity of changing colors of each font seperately, can you also add an option to change size of each font also independently? |
Re: How to increase the font sizes in N900
hi, i was follow the instruction given by bongC36 to increase the fonts size but i did't make it. The fonts come to smalles then before and hard to read pls help. tq

Re: How to increase the font sizes in N900
Thank you - now in 2016 December.
More than 4 years has gone since the last comment on this topic before mine. I am still using N900 - since 2010 January. The time has come to me as well to set bigger fonts ... The N900 I use since 2010 January is still fantastic. A very big thank you Bong for these instructions. |
