How to Change Outlook Mobile Fonts on WM6??

I have successfully changed System fonts; popup menu fots etc. howver no what what i do my Today and Outlook Mobile Fonts (font that displays the messages in inbox etc) don't change.
please let me know how to change those....

Anyone there to help???

How did you change the system font?
I'd like to change the system font to a simple arial font and can't figure out how to do that. Any ideas?
Also, any ideas about how to change the menus so they show up as a list rather than tiled icons?

copy the required font to Windows/Fonts directory of your windows mobile...
Check the following registry sections:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\SYSFNT\Nm
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GWE\Menu\BarFnt\Nm
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GWE\Menu\PopFnt\Nm
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GWE\OOMFnt\Nm
in Nm use the font you have just pasted in Windows/Fonts
by the way i have also found a way to change the system/outlook/today font:
e.g; i like Calibri Font, so i renamed the regular Calibri font as Tahoma.ttf and bold calibri font as tahomabd.ttf and replaced the ones in Windows... reset and it was changed.
.

Just a tip for anyone, there is a chance you will run into problems using the windows\fonts directory for a system font file, I highly recommend placing the font directly in the Windows directory, also the last installed font in the Windows\fonts directory will be used, for example, if you drop Impact.ttf in the fonts direcotry, and power off/on the device, you will have impact as the font in PocketIE.
I just change the GDI setting myself, and drop the same file in the windows directory, and the fonts directory.
I only bother to mention this, because quite awhile back I was using the fonts only directory, and ran into issues, not implying that everyone will have the same issues.
I imagine if you just did the filename changing, you wouldnt even need the registry hacks too, good pointing that out, I never figured out that one, and went around and around at one time looking for a date plugin that used the font specified in the registry.

Is it possible to...

Change the size of icons on a panel created with Titanium Configurator. I have created a contact dialer panel and have chosen the pictures for each. However, the are scrunched. These images were sized and cut by me for use on my phone and they work fine for the normal contact picture (poutlook). So where are these panels? Are they in the .cpr file? Or is there no way to change the size of the icons without actually editing some .dll file?

You should be able to find it in the CPR file in /Windows. Change the values there...DONT FORGET TO MAKE A BACKUP JUST IN CASE!!!

I just checked and couldn't find the one I'm looking for in the cpr file. It's just a panel I created call My Contacts. Currently the png file I use is called Favorite.png since none of the contact pictures look right.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
if you want the icons to not be scrunched...you need to take them into photoshop...or gimp...or some type of image editing program and change the canvas size of the transparent canvas behind the image to 86x113...then they should display properly....additionally the panel order is stored in the xml.home, and the panel specs are in the cpr...the only .dll that you might need to edit is the bronzeres if you want to change the icons on the panels that you did not create...same deal though...86x113, but you must use resource tuner, pe explorer, res hacker...or some similar program...hope that helps

[Possbile reg edit] IE 9 browser invert B/W colours

I looked into the regisry of wp7 rom when cooking my rom and came across this
in a Reg_SZ file. ( Cant be edited with any file explorer realtime in device)
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Settings]
"Anchor Color"="0,0,255"
"Anchor Color Visited"="128,0,128"
"Background Color"="255,255,255"
"Text Color"="0,0,0"
and a few more entries there which i am not sure of.
the colour codes refer to the background and font colours in IE
But however if we are able to change these colours in Osbuilder registry editor , recook a new rom and install into device, it may possible benefit those Amoled screens like the samsung omnia 7 with better battery life.

to invert colours one should swap them
"Background Color"= "0,0,0"
"Text Color"="255,255,255"

that's nice work!but my second device don't change the regisry!

the 2 entries i posted are regarding colours ... but iam sure there re more other entries to change .. which i am not sure of.

Android Command-Line Icon Converter

Hi there,
As the process of creating Icons for Android was very annoying to me (design an icon, export it for 5 densities, change the color to make it "disabled", save it again 5 times ...) I wrote a command-line tool for this task. I guess it will help everyone who doesn't like this time consuming process too I know there are online tools to convert one icon to the right sizes for each density, but have a look at what icon-converter can do:
The main idea is to have one SVG file for each icon. You do not have to have different SVG files for the states (e.g. enabled and disabled) but you can use icon-converter to change one or more colors in the icon.
Having all the SVG's, you can simply write a .sh script to "compile" all the icons at once, meaning that icon-converter creates all PNG's with the given settings (density, colors, scale, even versioning is supported, renaming files so that you can find them after compiling). The PNG's are then stored directly in the right drawable-directories. E.g. when you change an icon which has different states, you only have to execute your script once and do not have to export PNG's by yourself.
Please have a look at this tool, there are some examples online:
iconconverter.android-msapps.com
It runs on Linux and Windows.
Do you have any suggestions to improve the software?

[quick mod] Customize Toast and other frameworks, No Computer

Toast:
Here's how toast works: in framework-res apk/res/drawable-xhdpi, there is a file called 'toast_frame.9.png'. Then in framework-res apk/res/values/styles.xml, there are several references to that file, to be used as a background in various instances of a toast message. So, to customize toast, you can either change the toast_frame png to something else, or change the target file in styles xml references from 'toast_frame.png' to something else. The first way might be trickier, since the png is a 9patch, so you can't just use any picture you want, unless you convert it to a 9patch, and it has to be the right dimensions, or it will look funny. I prefer the second way. The toast text color is controlled by an entry in /res/values/colors.xml called 'background_light'.
Here's what I did -
1. Decompile framework-res with ApktoolX.
2. Create an xml that describes a shape and name it 'bg1', (for example), and add it to /res/drawable folder.
3. Change all references to '@drawable/toast_frame' in styles to '@drawable/bg1'.
4. Change value of 'background_light' in res/values/colors.xml from '#ffffffff' to whatever you want.
5. Recompile, and add META-INF folder and android manifest file from original apk the the new apk, using Mixplorer copy/paste, and move the new apk to /system/framework with permissions 644, and reboot.
Note - styles xml file is usually 5,000+ lines, so most android file manager apps can't handle it too well. I recommend Quickedit; use search function.
I attached my bg1 xml if you want

Menus:
Credit to XperienceD here - https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=68884228&postcount=161 - I just elaborated a little.
The drop-down, (3 dot), menus are controlled by the last 6 of the 8 files mentioned in the above link. 2 of them, (somc drop-down panel dark, and somc drop-down panel light), reference a drawable. You can simply change which drawable you want to call on, (bg1, for example, instead of whatever it says). There are 2 instances in each file, so change both. Keep in mind that the reason there is a dark and a light is that if the framework senses an app that's themed light, it will use dark text, and vice versa, so you should have 2 different drawables, (bg1 and bg2, for example), one with a light background and one's with a dark, (screenshots). The remaining 4 files, (somc_dropdown_panel_down_dark, somc_dropdown_panel_down_light, somc_dropdown_panel_up_dark, somc_dropdown_panel_up_light), don't reference a separate drawable, but are written as shape drawables themselves, so you can just edit them to match your bg1 and bg2. Keep in mind again about the dark and light.
I attached my menu_bg1 and menu_bg2.
Dialogs:
Dialogs are controlled by the first 2 of the 8 files mentioned above, (somc_dialog_bg_dark and somc_dialog_bg_light). If you follow the instructions to mod styles xml file, (in XperienceD's post above), it will make all system dialogs dark, (calling for light text), so you can use the same file for both. I just used my menu_bg1, (screenshots). Power menu icons may have to be edited to be light color, and power menu text color is in global actions item xml in layout folder. Easiest thing is to use alternative power menu, (APM + or Gravity Box or something).
Note that the text color is controlled by varying files, sometimes in the layout or drawable xml, sometimes in styles. Experiment.

Bump for added tweaks...
