Enabling Font Smoothing (Sub-pixel font rendering) like the iPhone's! - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General

i don't know if this topic has been already discussed before (i tried searching) but I've recently seen screenshots (below) of 'SRS WOW HD' driver app for the Leo, and wondered if we can try to make the font more smooth as it looks in these screenshots.

I installed the Zune font but it looks pixilated! I added this in the registry
Code:
DWORD value 'ForceGray16' = 1
but it didn't do a thing!, see my own screenshots (in the attachments section)
Any thoughts? Solutions maybe?

If this app is developed in C++ there is a way to make the font use the registry setting you just added. Otherwise, I am looking for an answer (or a possible solution) as well.

Weired! every time I talk about that issue, no one participates! Mods, please delete or close that topic, I'm fed up!

Quite possibly a stupid question but..

Hey guys, quick question. I searched the forum but can't hit on anything close to what I'm trying to find. I searched all the m2d threads but couldn't find anything really either. I found this theme in the m2d thread, but what I want to know is how he got the colored icons in the top right system tray (battery, network, volume, etc.)

"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
any ideas?
I'm guessin thats nhatt's, he's using PDA ROM thats why he has coloured icons, if you do a search you can find what .dll's have which icons.
So there's really no chance of finding these tweeks in a cab form? thanks for the help.

There was a post in PDA thread not long ago with some .cabs 4 coloured icons
Also if you know what .dll etc does the icons then you can take them from one build to another.
Hope that helps.

[Program] Hex <-> Smali Color Code Converter

Here is a small tool I developed to help perform color swaps without referring back to a table or website every few minutes.

"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

}
The clipboard function won't work unless it detects clip.exe somewhere in your path env. I'm pretty sure that cuts out anyone running XP-32, but it can always be added.
I tried to include as much screw-up detection as possible to avoid errors, but as always let me know if you find something I missed.
Nice Work! Very convenient.
I had contemplated adding in something for the hex format conversion (123456 to 563412) as well, and allowing a set of colors to be entered in rather than just one. As always, any suggestions are welcome.
THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH!!!!!!!!
Amazing tool!!!!
Can't wait to try this, thanks!

[HELP WANTED] New launcher icon for my app (Storage Analyser)

Hi.
I hope this thread is placed in the right forum, otherwise please feel free to move it.
As the scope of my application is no longer limited to just SDCards, I think it is time for a new icon.
Unfortunately, I do not have a good idea how it should look like or what content it should have.
Currently the app looks like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
As you can see the icon (in the upper left corner) is showing a SDCard right now.
Here are some first drafts of new icons. I'm not happy with both of them so far. But I would like to show them to you, maybe you have an idea to improve one of these concepts.
The first one:
Somehow I like the pictogram style, but somehow it does not work for me. I will try to play with different colors... maybe if I use the blue of the original icon it will look better.
The second one:
Does not work for me as well.
What is your feeling about it?
Maybe you have a complete different idea!?
If you want to see the app in real life, ehe download link for the beta version can be found here: https://plus.google.com/u/0/b/116580417241372596615/116580417241372596615/posts/EzjdP1h3Lqg
If you prefer to discuss on Google+ regarding the new icons, here is the related G+ post: https://plus.google.com/u/0/b/116580417241372596615/116580417241372596615/posts/JBejt368gy8
Thanks in advanced
How about this?
Two icons easily found on icon host sites joined together.

I edited the default ICS lock screen font because I didn't like how some of the numbers looked.

1,5,6,7 and 9 are the most obvious, there are subtle changes to 2 and 4. Only 3 and 8 are unedited.
Updated, can someone use it and upload a screenshot/preview please?
Didn't noticed until now but that "1" looks terrible.
Anyway, I'm using this app called Type Fresh which requieres AndExplorer and root. Did a backup of my fonts, replaced the font, rebooted, nothing changed.
Altough, there're other fonts there also. AndroidClock_Highlight.ttf, AndroidClock_Solid.ttf, Clockopia.ttf.
Worked great through Font Changer in CM4DX Revnumbers (Cm7 on Droid X). Thanks for this!

[SOFTKEYS] by @retareq [June 21,2012]

I modified some of the already available softkeys to my liking. Someone asked for them on deviantart so I'm posting them here as well. They are white on transparent back 80x80 and I use AOKP ROM Control to apply colors over it..not sure how it is on other ROM's but I'd imagine its the same.
Theres 6 images in the ZIP file. It's just a zip file NOT CWM flashable. I don't know how to make those if someone wants to do it by all means do so and let me know I'll put it in the OP.
Follow @retareq on twitter! I'm selling theme apps to raise funds for my Graphic Novel so I could use some social help
Screenshot with my apps:

Screenshot of whats in the zip:
Thank you sir ^^
Fo sheezy :cyclops:
Thanks
One thing though; that arrow is a little pixelated. Don't know if it'll show on-screen, but it was the first thing i noticed.
Sorry about late response! The pixels don't show up when you use the soft keys. I thought of the exact same thing when I was making them because it came like that...but its too tiny to see the jagged edges. Should be fine..
