Its huge, and a smaller font size would allow more of the header to display....
There's a reg entry in HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Inbox that looks like the right thing and place, but it doesn't change anything when altered.

I know this would work at least for email (haven't checked with SMS).
The quickest way to change font size is:
On your TF3D slider go to Mail view>
If you already have an email envelope on the screen, just Click to open it
(if not, Click any email account icon & open an email) you should be reading the email now>
Click Menu (bottom right of screen)>
At the bottom of the pop-up menu, click the 'down' arrow to get more features>
Click View> Click Text Size>
Adjust to whatever size is comfortable for your eyes/screen.
Choice is Largest, Larger, Medium, Smaller & Smallest.
I noticed that changing the size in one email account makes it change the font size
across all email accounts so one does not need to repeat the steps for each
individual email id on the phone.
HTH.
That changes the text, but not the header/top level display. I'm trying to change the latter.... without success....
I haven't seen any way of achieving that for headers only- on my TP2, or for that matter,
any default email application on a phone yet, if I remember correctly.
I'm guessing I must be misunderstanding your question, as the answer "Settings => Screen => Text size" seem to obvious?
Not as obvious as you might have thought! I put it down to being tired, but I was searching for a "display" setting. "Screen" just didn't jump out at me!
I don't know about Genesis3, but this was exactly what I needed!
Thanks,
Ed

1. Use the zoombar to change font size.
2. Yes, HTC will release WinMo 6.5 for TP2 users.

I assume you are talking about the default WinMo Messaging app? The zoombar works as a font-size changer in that app.
Why are you looking in menus for zoombar? The zoombar is the part of your device between the screen and the 4 hardware buttons.
Wow didn't know that.
Just to confirm it does work as a font size changer, but only when focus is on the text editing area at the bottom.
If focus is still in the previous threaded messages then the zoom bar works as a scroll bar.

i wasn't. you told me to look for zoombar. and i figure zooming had to be in the menu bar since thats how it is in alot of applications i use.
on a diff not, i tried to send a text msg like normal and hit the the 4 hardware buttons and it still does not change my font size. the reading pane window where old text msgs are is the area where i want to change the size.

Haha, dude, I think you're losing me.
What's your "normal" way to send a text message? There are several ways: (1) via compose new, (2) via TF3D, (3) via the threaded view of the WinMo Messaging app.
Why are you hitting the 4 hardware buttons to change font size? (Call send, Call end, Windows key, and Back key are not going to help)
What's this "reading pane window" you are referring to?
What I'm trying to say is a picture is worth a thousand words. Going forward, if you want help with troubleshooting, post a screenshot.
But for your case, try this. Go to "Settings" tab in TF3D, tap "All Settings", go to "System" tab, tap "Screen", go to "Text Size" tab, and adjust the setting here.

When a field is "in focus", that just means that it's active or that's where the cursor is. In fairness to HTC, I thought there manual was quite comprehensive. They've put just enough info to get someone who's not familiar with WinMo to be able to use the device.

Well, I don't think they're going to SEND it to you. I'm sure it will be available on you're carrier's site, presuming the carrier releases there version in October.
Hey all I had a question about text threading on the Tilt 2. i know i can change the font size when opening text messages under system settings. but i wanted to be able to change the font size for threading. Can it be adjusted without tweaks? If not what tweaks are out there? Thanks!

You can change your text size if you go to Settings > Screen > "Text Size" tab and adjust the slider. Alternatively, while you have your text message open, you can slide your finger along the zoom slider at the bottom of the LCD screen and it will adjust the size of the text font, real-time. Sliding in one direction makes the text smaller and sliding in the other makes it larger.
Yes i know i can do that. im talking about when i use my slider to go to the text message option. i want to be able to read the text before i tap on it to see it in the other format where i can make the changes. for example, on the tilt two all the text is white before you open up the area to see all messages. i just want to make the white text in the threaded area bigger. if i cant do that. how to i just make the font black or any other color, or bold instead.

I see. Your original message didn't clearly indicate that you were referring to the Manila Messages text font size. From what I can gather, you can't easily modify the Manila text size without changing everything else in the system's font settings. This has been discussed in this thread.
Thanks. I'll check it out
Hey all, I read over the forums a bit, and I saw quite a few threads about changing just the SMS font size, but not changing the rest of the System font sizes. I have figured out a way to do it for the tilt 2 for AT&T.
The font size is not really the issue when it comes to the SMS font. The issue relis on the zoom of the screen. The SMS screen for texting carry a different setting for zoom, and it saves it when you change it. If you want to change the size of the SMS font, simply increase or decrease the zoom of the screen. This will only affect the SMS texting screen, and not the rest of the system.
Hope this helps everyone ^_^.
Font Zoom
Thanks for that tip to increase the font size in my text messages. I don't even know how I reduced them--just, one day, I couldn't even read them without my magnifying glasses. This fixed it right up. I selected a text, scrolled the zoom bar and, BAM! Back to readable.

I have a verizon phone that is unlocked, using with at&t. My zoom bar does not work with sms. Do you have any idea how to get it to work. I am to the point that I need reading glasses to see the small SMS text size and yes I have it set to the largest size in wm6.5.
hey everyone,
i need some help,
im new to windows phone mobile,
i currently have the tilt 2, 6.5, and i need some help.
i want to increase the system text size, i have a bad eye sight and the text messaging is really small, cant even read it with my glasses, so i rreframed from using it, i have to send emails, but the same thing, i did go to the settings>Screen>test size, and put it as big as possible, i can read that little quote but when i went back to reply to a txt to see if the size of my txt(the one im writing) to see if i could read it, i still couldnt. Even after changing text size in the sms messaging its self to largest, still didnt change the text that i was writing. Please help, these are important text and very important emails. i want to change the text f=size throughout the whole system! Please help!
It should be in the clear type setting not sure exactly where it is tho
You can change the text size within your SMS messages by sliding the zoom bar under the screen. Just slide it to the right and all texdt will increase in size.

I'm trying to use tasker to alter the font for some items. I have a popup widget that has email, gmail, sms, phone,etc. on it that I want to change font color and become bold when I have a missed call or new message. I've set up tasks and profiles for sms, and gmail so they will change color. I cannot seem to get them to become bold though. They are made as Rich Text if that matters. I can't figure out how to write the parameter where the [c][/c] and take effect together. Can somebody tell me how to write the advanced parameter to get this to work?
Also, I can't seem to figure out the code to use for email or phone. I've tried %COUNTEMAIL, %COUNTMSG, %MISSEDCALL but they don't seem to work. This is the tutorial I used for this: https://seo-michael.co.uk/change-text-colour-in-zooper-widget-with-tasker (sorry can't post a link yet). Can I make this work with the Email App and the Phone?
Thanks!
From what I've read you are trying to display a count rather than the actual text/phonecall details? In which case you would be better off using Zooper's built in variables #SMCALLS# for missed calls and so on. To change the colour of the font in rich text format you can use a conditional like this:
[c=$#SMCALLS#>0?#ffff0000:#ff00ff00$]#SMCALLS#[/c]
This will display missed call count in red when you have missed calls and green when you don't.
Then to change to bold for missed calls as well you can wrap the above in a conditional like this:
HTML:
$#SMCALLS#>0?[b]$[c=$#SMCALLS#>0?#ffff0000:#ff00ff00$]#SMCALLS#[/c]$#SMCALLS#>0?[/b]$
Hope this helps.
ps Sorry about the HTML tags but I don't know how to stop it from rendering the bold tags in the code instead of displaying them
Thanks. Are there built in variables for gmail, email, and sms? I'm trying that code but it doesn't seem to do anything on my phone...
Yes there are functions for sms , gmail etc. You can find them under the system heading when you enter your text.
The code I wrote should work fine. Are you entering it in the advanced parameters screen of the manual text edit screen?
I used the manual screen when I wrote it. When you enter it does nothing happen at all? Or only part of what you want?

I'm putting it into the advanced parameters because the manual text area is what is labeling the shortcut I have. It doesn't nothing when I enter it. I've written it, copy and pasted from the site, and still nothing. I can modify it and get the color I want to change but it will not turn bold.
I think that it needs to be written in the text area because the bold tags will need to go round your text in the same way they do if you use the bold function when writing a post here.

Hmm ok. How do I write the paramater and still keep the text I have then? So for example, I have one line that says "gmail". Clicking the word opens gmail and when I have a new email it changes from white to green based on the #COUNTGMAIL task I have in Tasker. How do I write in the code in the manual field to keep the "gmail" and still make it change? I'll be playing with this shortly when I get a chance.
You can mix text in with your functions so if you just want the word Gmail displayed and for that word to change colour and bold when you have unread mail you would lay it out like this:
HTML:
$#SUG#>0?[b]$[c=$#SUG#>0?#ff00ff00:#ffffffff$]Gmail[/c]$#SUG#>0?[/b]$
So going through it one step at a time, the first conditional (between $ $) if unread gmail count is greater than 0 then write the open bold tag.
Then open the colour tag, if unread gmail count is greater than 0 then set font colour to green, otherwise colour is set to white.
Next the text you want to display is written, "Gmail" in this case but you could add other zooper variables or text if you needed.
Close the colour tag.
Finally the last conditional writes the close bold tag in the same way as for the first conditional.
Zooper will then render the text code as you needed it.
Hope this helps

Thank you. That code works perfectly. If only I could get the zooper widget to update quicker.
So my next question is, do you have the parameter code for regular email? I know the #SUG# is gmail but I don't have the code for email, or phone, or sms. I think those are the only ones I need to do this. Although I would like to have the "music" line change color when poweramp is running....
If you go to edit text you will see the list of available fields. SMS counts, etc are under system. Looking at them I could have sworn that there was a regular email count but I can't see it now, you should be able to capture that in Tasked and pass it to zooper as a variable though.
As for the media, use Media Utilities to get the player state. It gives you a whole set of variables which will let you work with media states in Zooper
