Hi guys, Happy New Year and all the crappola!,

Question;
I've made a patch for bigger system fonts throughout the UI.
I have changed the fonts manually to get the desired effect, but an actual patch would be good - certainly for those of us with not-so-good eyesight. ô¿ô
I realise this 'idea/app' may not appeal to many of you young whipper-snappers with near 20/20 vision, but I'm in my mid 40's and 'thangs ain't what they used to be'!



My problem;
My patch installs, it shows in patchmanager, but it just won't apply..? - I'm pretty certain it is my unified_diff.patch file that contains the problem - this is mainly because I'm not fully sure what I'm doing. I really have made hundreds of adjustments but still cannot get the patch to actually apply.

I have used the command 'diff' on 2 files to get the patch data, but how do I successfully 'diff' between 2 folders, especially when those 2 folders sit among 4 others. No matter how I do it, my results do not work - my head is starting to hurt!

Now, rather than telling me to "GO AND LEARN LINUX/QML/SFOS-SDK", could someone take me under their wing and guide me through what is left of making this patch work - I'd really appreciate the help!, by the way, I am learning about all the aspects of this wonderful OS, but my study time is limited and sometimes a nudge in the right direction is all that's required and not a bunch of cryptic answers that confuse me even more

If anyone is willing to help, that would be great, upon someone offering their help, I'll upload the relevant files.

Regards,
