did you try to make a backup of /etc/hildon/theme/gtk-2.0/gtkrc and then edit the file? install rootsh from extras, then become root and edit the files you need.

1. I am using sudo gainroot, have rootsh installed.

How do you make a back up of /etc/hildon/theme/gtk-2.0/gtkrc, whats the command to save it.

It used to work perfect before I got the pr 1.2 firmware update..any suggestions what I can do.

I too upgraded to PR 1.2 and found that my conversation fonts had reverted back to the original tiny fonts. Just do PART 2 again of my original post to suit your preference.

To those having problems doing this mod, please check your spelling and spaces. There is a space between "cd" and "/" in "cd /usr/share/rtcom-messaging-ui/html".

BTW I find font-size: 32px; for SMS conversations to be ideal. For single SMS, I used 38px for really large letters easy on the eyes!

Here is how a single SMS looks like at 38 px


SMS conversation at 32 px

Hello, sorry for my very late reply. No I don't mind at all, please go ahead and make it a wiki if you think it will be helpful to other fellow N900 enthusiasts. Cheers!

Hmm, works in mine. Did you add "font-size: 32px;" to a new line under "div.message (" in the file "MessagingWidgetsChatConversation.css" too?
Maybe used a colon instead of a semi-colon?

Ok, I'm NOT savvy with X term and new to this system. I need simple help to get my fonts and phone numbers bigger as my eyes are popping out trying to figure out whats on the screen.

I'm using the digital nature theme, please please simple steps would be appreciated as I'm not figuring out what numbers to use to get all that stuff bigger.

Thanks!
