SMS viewing font

Does anybody know where in the registry is the key that changes the font used when viewing an SMS? I changed all "Segoe Condensed" matches in the registry with another font and the SMS editing font has changed but not the viewing one.

I would also like to know that....Im sure font size can be edited too. Do you know where I can edit?

Windows Phone 7 Font {Segoe WP} Series

If you installed Visual Studio 2010 on your PC, you can simply go to "C:\Windows\Fonts\" dirctory..
and select this Family Font "Segoe WP" which stands for Segoe Windows Phone.
And this font is useful for themes devs and apps devs to create a real WP7 theme or app.
For those who do not have VS2010, simply download the attached file.

Thanks for sharing this

very nice, thanks

Thanks - this is exactly what I was looking for!

any chance you could just zip up the fonts vs. having an exe file? thanks

here you go!

Awesome, thanks for this. Now to muck around changing system fonts on my HD2..

You can simply unzip that .exe (i.e. using 7zip).

Of course you don't, because you must install also Visual Studio Express For Windows Phone, it's free @ Microsoft.

Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App

how do you change the font sizes in WP7 , I posted this in another thread ,but maybe you guys know, in contacts , the font color is the same as the tile color , can I change the font color in contacts and still have a different tile color , also the size of the font in contacts is so small you need reading glasses to see it, where in the registry can I change the sizes?

These are taken from windows ce , same location, not sure what is what yet
System HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\GDI\SysFnt
Menu bar HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\GWE\Menu\BarFnt
Pop-up menu HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\GWE\Menu\PopFnt
Out of Memory window HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\GWE\OOMFnt

Isn't this font identical to Segoe UI, the primary UI font for both Windows Vista and 7, which you therefore certainly already have on your system?

Themeing mms apk

Hey im trying to theme the mms apk and i am having trouble finding the background image to change it from white to black. Can anyone help me out?

Which background are you looking for? Main screen is in conversation_list_screen.xml, each thread on that screen has it's own background at conversation_list_item.xml, and each text message thread has the backgrounds at message_list_item_send.xml and message_list_item_recv.xml. To change background to black, use
Code:
android:background="#000000"

Changing EMUI font / customising stock themes

The font size in EMUI apps (eg Launcher, messaging etc) is narrower and smaller than the system font for regular Android apps (eg Gmail, Tapatalk)
I want to increase the size of the EMUI font to be the same as the regular apps. I tried increasing the font size in settings, but this also increases the font size across all apps.
How can I just change the EMUI theme font and size?
Is there a way to edit / customise the default EMUI themes? I tried the Huawei Theme Creator app from play Store but it appears you can only create a theme from scratch.
I'd also love to remove the app icon border masks too! Thanks

SMS font and bubbles too space wasteful
I agree! And also, is there a way how to PERMANENTLY decrease the size of the font and especially of the bubbles in the sms environment (for example in the same way as Telegram or Whatsapp show messages, i. e. very dense)? The bubbles are too big and the margins between sms text and bubble are too wide. I find it too space consuming, so very little messages fit into the screen. I mean, why would I have 5.2" screen phone if onle three of four messages fit in? I know I can pinch the screen to make it smaller, but this only last till I get out from the sms application. Is there any way how to fix this, please?

Someone help me remove these app border masks please!

Does anyone know if it's fixed in Marshmallow?
Ie Can you change the size or choose an alternative font in EMUI
Sent from my PLK-L01 using Tapatalk

I'd like to know this too. The standard font (especially on sms) is too small and narrow. The style is also a little tedious. This is the only phone I've ever had that I can't change the font with. There has to be a way too do it, surely. Would rooting and a Font changer/installer app do the business? For all the nonsense that Samsung bring to the table at least you could easily change font's on their devices.

I managed to change the system font by creating a custom theme using a font within the 'ifont' app then dropping it into the emui hwthemes location and changing.
