I checked the Fonts folder under \Windows and did not see any. I would like to change the clock font to that of an LCD screen/alarm clock. I believe I have found where to change that in registry but I'm wondering if I can just drop some fonts from my PC onto the phone and just go.
*This one, really really really, didn't need to be moved. One could have posted a link to the Clock thread. I would have appreciated that. There is, however, another question here related to fonts in general on the phone. I searched, couldn't find. However, if you know a thread, by all means move this one there.
For the second time, don't be so quick to just move the thread.

You shouldn't have to change anything in your registry, regarding your clock font. Just drag and drop a font file (.ttf) from your PC to the \Windows folder itself. Don't worry about placing anything in the "Fonts" folder. You'll need to edit the .cpr (also located in the \Windows folder) and replace the current clock font with the name of the LCD font.
EDIT: Make sure you rename the font to have "zz" at the beginning (ex. Tahoma = zztahoma.ttf). That way, your clock font won't be used to everything else in your phone. If you don't do this, you'll notice your Internet Explorer and Opera Mini browser (if you have it) will use the same font as your clock.

Thanks for clarifying that. I haven't changed the home screen that defaults when one installs Kavana's ROM. I've modified it and added panels with CHome Configurator though. Would you happen to know the name of the .cpr file I'd need to edit?
Edit: DERP! That'd be the CHome_320x240.cpr file wouldn't it?

I guess that is dash/excalibur specific, because I installed the zarmalite.ttf on my blackjack, and it took over operamini and some(but not all) of my mortscript options pages. Since it started with "z", I thought it would be alright, but I ended up having to remove the font completely. Also, my clock font never changed at all, even after editing the cpr with the new font.

Same thing happens to me, after a lot of tries, I gave up on the idea of changing the font.

Really??? That's strange. I'd think that this would work for any Windows Mobile device. Try this... Transfer over Tahoma (or another font similar to Segoe) to your device just like you did ArmaliteRifle. Rename it "aatahoma.ttf" so that Opera Mini and PIE will pick it up. Let me know how it goes, showaco.
EDIT: Also, it is IMPERATIVE that you name everything correctly. Double-click the ArmaliteRifle font file on your PC. Whatever name is listed needs to be what you place in the .cpr file. Place that particular name in the Font Family section of the clock area. It sounds like this might be why your phone picked up the font, but not your clock.
Hey all,
This question is for the Sprint HTC Touch, new with WMPro 6.1.
I want to change the icons/links that are on the bottom toolbar, I guess its called the Operator Launcher Plugin. Right now it has: Phone, Sprint Music Store, Photo Album, Navigation and Sprint TV. Well I dont have a data plan so the Sprint TV and Nav are useless, and who pays for music now-a-days??? lol... so that has to go too.
I think I has an idea of how to change this, I just want to see if I am correct.
I found the 'ql_skin_p.xml' file and looked inside to see all of the links to the bitmaps and masks used for the icons, and links to the files. Is it as easy as photoshopping new bitmaps and masks, and using the new file names in the xml files, then changing the links?
Thanks,
Livens
As a previous iPhone user the one thing I can say I miss is the ease of using the ssh feature after jail breaking and having access to the system files If I wanted to change lets say the "camera icon"- I could ssh into the phone and go into the system file folder and find that one file name, remove it and replace it with the new icon jpeg. That's it! End the ssh session and BAM! I have a new icon for my camera.
Or if i wanted to change the dial pad background on my phone or the way the keys light up on my old iPhone I would just ssh and go to the "phone" jpeg file and just change it out. and BAM I have a new phone skin.
I'm sure you get my point....
So now that I'm using Android I love how the options are there to change. However I'm OCD and don't like to download all these files and icon packs which takes up storage on my S3. So I have installed sshDroid and using Filezilla successfully accessed my phone. ( Yes I'm rooted)
Now I downloaded a few icon packs but I don't want to keep the download on my phone. What I want to do is choose a few icons I like, ssh into my phone and replace lets say the "google+" icon with a new one.
The question is where in the world is the file? How do I access the stock system icons?
This is where Android is awesome to customize but hard as crap to find files.
Can someone provide me with instructions, or a link to instructions on how to do this?
I've been on Google and I'm not really finding the answer to my question. I just simply want to change my icons so I can make my own theme.
Please help! Thanks
You have to use an icon pack in a launcher or decompile the app you want to change the icon for and then swap the icon out and then rebuild the apk and install.
Your better off with an icon pack. As there is no easy way. Android was made for developers mainly.

So i just got a fire stick with kodi on it and when i was in the tvaddons settings the default skin was called confluence, i changed it to another that was available, I dont recall what it was named, but it's blue with circles, regardless the skin is un responsive in certain areas. it has no visual cues when you are in the main menu selecting, videos, music, programs etc. When i got to add a new add on and i am prompted to cancel or select ok ; the box comes up with cancel highlighted and does not allow me to move and highlight the install button. It will also not allow me to go to the settings at all so i cant figure out how to change it back to the theme it originally had. Is there a way that i can restore it? I did not add kodi onto my stick personally, and am unfamiliar with the tech side of it. Thanks for any help!!
I don't know which skin this is, hopefully someone else can help, but if you have a file explorer you can nuke the problem by deleting the correct skin folder, then Kodi/XBMC will default back to Confluence. I had a similar problem with the Titan Mediabrowser skin and this is how I fixed it.
With Kodi 15 and ES File Explorer, first go to Tools and turn "Show hidden files" on, then you go to Home/Android/Data/org.xbmc.kodi/files/.kodi/addons, here you will see a bunch of folders, some named "skin.xxx", you just need to delete the correct skin folder (in ES: long press, then select Delete at the bottom of the screen). If you delete all of them, of course you lose any non-Confluence skin settings you made, but you will still have Confluence and you can just reinstall any skins you are interested in.
I don't know the exact folder structure for older Kodi/XBMC/SPMC/TVMC, but it will be something very similar to this.
In kodi on windows there is a font.xml in C:\Program Files (x86)\Kodi\addons\skin.confluence\720p which can be edited for a larger Arial font. Arial font unlike the Large font option that currently exit is capable of displaying non-English characters.
I can't seem to locate font.xml on neither the ftv or my rooted android tablet. I've been using ES Explorer (with show hidden files on) and I'm on KodiJarvis.
I would also rather stick to the confluence skin, if possible.
I would appreciate some help, thank you.

Can't remember the exact location but look in Android/Kodi/data/userdata/addon/confluence/ or something simular to that?
Hope this helps
