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!!

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:
MessagingWidgetsSMSConversations.css
MessagingWidgetsIMConversations.css
MessagingWidgetsSingleSMS.css


13. type "leafpad MessagingWidgetsSMSConversations.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 MessagingWidgetsChatConversations.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
