Hi
I only just upgraded from a Wizard in the last few days
Read the manual and can't find how to change the font colour on the today screen to another colour apart from white
Also when using the "keyboard" to type text messages, it has no predictive text like on my wizard - am I forced to use the QWERTY or compact QWERTY in order to get predicitive text?
many thanks to anyone who takes the time to read this and to anyone who can help

Read the manual and can't find how to change the font colour on the today screen to another colour apart from white - Can only be done by changing the theme, read the stickies here
Also when using the "keyboard" to type text messages, it has no predictive text like on my wizard - am I forced to use the QWERTY or compact QWERTY in order to get predicitive text? - When you have 'Keyboard' selected, then tap on the little arrow u used to change the input, and select 'Other input methods', then 'Options'. U can set word completion on the middle tab

This is probably a WM6.1 question more than a Diamond question, but because I'm using JUICY'S 2.2 ROM, I figured I'd ask here.
I am a person with a visual impairment - I can't see all that well. I've used Windows Mobile devices for a few years but would be very interested in making the text much large on many screens within Windows Mobile. I've been able to do this through the Registry, making the font size larger for menues, pop-ups and title bars. What I can't seem to figure out is how to make the text large in "Text Messaging." In Juicy's ROM, threaded text messaging is used (which I love) but I can't seem to find the registry key to edit the font size of the text that is received. The perfect font size for me in this case would be 14 point font.
Start / Settings / Screen / Text Size - this doesn't increase the font large enough for me.
Please help if you could with this issue. It would be much appreciated.
I was able to edit the font size of the text that I type into "Text Messaging" but still not the actual conversation text size. Please help! Thanks.
Try turning the touch sensitive scroll wheel to the right.

Thanks for the tip - that does make the text a "bit" larger which helps, so thank you. Still would be interested in a registry hack for it though...
is there any cabs so that when your texting you can see more than 1 line of written text ? i find it impossible to write long texts as you can only see last couple of words and its daft . anyone ideas? please thankyou
hmmm, any pics of what you mean?
havent really got any pics but just sort of like a normal phone whereas you can read pretty much all of what your typing on the same screen instead of getting to word 4 and finding word 1 has vanished of the screen .
He means when you're using the HTC on screen keyboard which is so big it takes up like 90% of the screen leaving very little of your message visible when writing a new SMS. I don't use that keyboard myself but I do remember it from when I first got the phone and tried it out; it would be good if the font size on the 'compose new SMS' screen could be made smaller to help people who do use that keyboard.
One of the tweaks packages allows you to change editor from threaded to classic - maybe not ideal but a workaround!
I changed the height of the SMS reply part of the screen and I changed the Windows Mobile font size in the Settings - System - Screen - Text size tab. And while reading your sms (thread), you can also adjust the conversation font size with your 'scroll wheel'.
User Letter Recognizer
I use the Letter Recognizer method, instead of querty keyboard or the T9 keyboard input methods.
it's much easier to write messages and the screen occupied by the Letter Recognier itself is very little, hence more text lines visible. Just perfect.
It might take some time to get used to the Letter Recognizer. But you'll really like it once you get a hang of it.
This is weird.
When I open the keyboard and select a menu item such as message to send a message the drop down menu will display but it will be blank. I can't read the selections such as send SMS send MMS send E-mail. I can move over the selections and actually make a selection, but there is no text. Just a blank white box. This goes for anything, not just messages. While sending a text, when i begin to type in a contacts name, the auto selection will display a series of names but i can't read the names! its just a blank white drop down box.
I run a ATT Tilt 6.1 stock rom, with a few add ons- s2u2, opera 9.5, fingerfriendly friends, latest has been a couple podcast programs.
Any help would be appreciated. I have been a lurker on these boards the past few months and have been amazed by all the good stuff you guys contribute. loving all the progress on android as well!
Thanks,

Did u try to disable cleartype in landscape? U can do that in schaps advanced config tool.
it worked! thanks!!
u r welcome
Sometimes when I type a text message or even when I am in a browser typing an address I cannot see the text that is being inputed. The cursor moves as I am typing but its like the text color has changed to white (same as background color) and I cant see it. I am not running any special roms and the only tweaking I have done is with Kaiser Tweak. I could hard reset and start over as I have a backup but would rather not do that.
Any ideas?
Jim
Have you changed the default font size? I had this problem when I tweaked the font size to a larger one.

You will need to download:
Cool Texter(An app that allows you to never send boring messages anymore, this app makes your texts look cool!)
Handcent Sms (send sms/mms with customized options.
Better keyboard (An alternate on screen keyboard)
After downloading all of the apps you will have to:
Go to Setttings>Locale & text>Better Keyboard
Go to anywhere where you can use the on screen keyboard. Long press on the text field. There will be a pop up. Click Input method>Better Keyboard. When you click on the text field you should see a different on screen keyboard. (If you go to Better Keyboard setting you can change the skin of the on screen keyboard.)
Open Cool Texter
-Making a signature for texting.
-Click Name Maker and type what you want the signature to be. (If you want to have the letters looking creative you can type first in the Cool Text top field box and click on the text field on the bottom and it will automatically copy the new style of the text. There is an option in the middle to change the style.) Choose the signature that you like and click on it and it will automatically copy it.
Open Handcent Sms
Click Menu>Settings
You can change almost everything. I will explain the signature part only cause I had you create one in Cool Texter
.
Click on Enable signature>Personal signature than in the text field box with the keyboard open press Menu + V. Click Ok.
There you go enjoy. There will be many questions just ask. The more you check the setting and try the apps out you will see more things. You can edit individual setting to different people you are texting. At least from my experience.
