Hello,
is there any poss ?
Search through the whole settings but didnt find anything - just the "normal" fonts can be changed
In respect to the other things this is very very small (lets say a little bit toooooo small for me)
I think with MIUI 11 it will be possible...
waiting for that
Quick solution is use a theme that increase the font size, there are some available in Miui Themes.

I've tried adw, zeam etc but I don't see a means of changing the font size for the icon shortcuts. The default is a little small.
I believe I read spare parts will do the trick (not sure if it works for launchers), but I surprised this isn't a default option. Is this only the case with the nook or do stock android devices not have this option either?
You can use LCD Density to increase the font size but it will also affect graphics too.
There is no default option in the Android OS that I know of to change just the font size.

read the how-to work around issues post stickied on this forum. there is an explaination how to change global sizes. also launcher pro will let you change the number of columns and rows displayed so you can tighten up the icon placement.
Thanks. I know launcher pro will let you set the columns, but I want the fonts bigger, and maybe even the icons.
I assume LCD Density is a separate app?
And I'll look at the stickied how to.
ADW EX (that is the paid version, totally worth it by the way) offers this exact option if you have the "new icons" option checked. It works great for controlling both icon size and label text size.
Cool good to know. I like the screens I've seen of modifying the LCD density, but I don't like it affecting the status icon etc. I wonder if that's an issue with a stock froyo as well?

Well this particular status bar is B&N's, so that will be out of the picture once custom ROMs are ready for daily use. If custom ROMs use the AOSP status bar, I think it's designed for a density of 240.
Greetings ya'll!
My home Screen, Widgets and everything look nearly perfect now that I've upgraded to 2.3.3.
But I'm not advancing when it comes to editing / modding / app using my status a.k.a notification bar.
I'm using LauncherPro though even there I seem to miss a function to exchange symbols / icons in the status bar.
If you know a good app for:
Battery icon change
Wireless Icon change
etc.
for the status / notification bar, please point me the way. Or even discuss which ones exist and are great.
Cheers!
you can modify them yourself with the 'framework-res.apk' you just need to locate and change the .png files.
or quicker way is to just get yourself a theme from the themes section.
lots to choose from, including stock themes with minor tweaks

Thanks for the reply
Yeah there are some themes, though I've my own except for that status bar. And I'm still a bit too much of a noob to undestand how to just edit that status bar, even when using a theme.
I've found the famework-red.apk and installed it. Now trying to figure out the next step...maybe you might be so kind and give me a helping hand?
i wish i could but there are that many files / folders / sub folders i dont know which one is which lol.
what exactly are you trying to do to the status bar ? make it transparent ?

Status bar background: real black
Icon: clock > anything fancier than the original, something a bit blue / modern
icon: wifi > along the same lines
icon: battery > maybe something like the glowing blue circle one
Basically a mod for a status bar revamp would be great.
Example: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=837569
That's just green, of course.
why dont you use that example and use some sort of photo suite software to change their colours to blue (or whatever you desire ) or if that is too hard.
ask the Creator of that example how he did it, or would he do it in another colour for you.
I use MIUI and their are millions of themes to choose from so i just stick to that. Im not so good at modding themes, just flashing roms lol
Hi all,
I'm really not a fan of the stock Tron-Like status bar and am thinking about changing it. I have looked into it and can prob figure out how to do everything bar the clock. Would it be possible for someone to walk me through this, or even better provide a CWM flashable zip to change from Stock Xoom to Stock Galaxy Tab?
I'm currently running stock UK 3.1 as i haven't seen a need to Root up until now. I would prefer to stay on the UK 3.1 also, as although i have tried Hammerhead and Morray, i dislike the soundset for the lock-screen and keyboard. (mainly the KB is far too quiet!)
Many Thanks in Advance!

it wouldn't be hard to change but it would require a rom that has the images you want and we could only change images.
I'm searching for the images now! Its weird, all the images on the Web show the Galaxy 10.1 as having different icons, but every rom i download has Stock HC ones...

For some odd reason everyone likes the stock ones. I don't on my build of mantaray i have the icons and clock font changed. You'll probably have to find a stock rom to get images.
I'll keep looking, in the mean time, i have worked out how to change the font of the clock - do you have any clue on how to change the colour?
Thanks
Just outta curiosity how did u change the font for the clock? I have font changer but I just want to change the clock font

Awsome thanks much appreciated

Hi Everyone,
I've been modding my install of Moray for the last couple days - changing images and backgrounds, trying to remove as much of the blue blur as I can. I've used some images from a tab 10.1 rom I downloaded. I've been pretty successful at this so far.
I've also changed the stock clock, but once I replace the font files, the clock on the lockscreen has a lot of extra space between it and the date, as well a very little bit of the left side is cut off. Any suggestions as to how this can be solved?
Snapshots are below of before & after.

I noticed the font not quite fitting on the lock screen too, so for now i've gone back to stock font for that.
I've used the Galaxy Tab icons and given them the same colour as the Wifi and Battery icons, then used the DroidSans font for the clock and used the same colour there too.
Here is a screen, its simple but far preferable.

How did you change the status bar font, and leave the lockscreen font as stock? Which of the three stock files did you modify?
Also, how did you change the colour of the clock in the status bar? I assumed this was possible with xml files, buti haven't adventured into this area yet.

The status bar clock colour can be changed in SystemUI.apk/res/layout-xlarge/status-bar-notification-area.xml, under the entry "holoclock"
I changed only the AndroidClock-Solid.ttf for the font, the other 2 fonts combine to make the lock screen and notification pop-up font.
All is explained really well on the XML editing here on method 2 in post 3.
Hope This Helps
I would like to change the status bar too!
Here are the pngs for
Wifi
Battery
And toggles (bottom left)
You can edit them how you like and place the in the right apks
(systemui or framework.res)
inside the zip tells you where i got them from
Hope it helps!
Hi guys, I am currently on ICS Stunner and in settings>display there is an option to change font size, which i set to small and is perfect for the note screen.
I can't find a similar option on any of the Samsung ICS roms i have tried, meaning fonts are HUGE and does no justice to the note's screen size or resolution.
Is there any way to manually change the font size without changing overall screen density?
I really want my s-pen features back and this is the only thing that's keeping me on AOSP.
Spare parts doesn't change overall font size, best thing i've found is https://play.google.com/store/apps/...51bGwsMSwxLDIxMiwib3JnLnBieGVzLmZvbnRzaXplIl0
My problem with this app is that it doesn't support custom fonts (or so the comments seem to suggest) and i think i read somewhere that this app just installs the default font at varying sizes, something which i could do myself in a few minutes without spending money on a useless app.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
EDIT: I have also seen this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.a0soft.gphone.bfont&hl=en but it seems to have odd bugs on the Note.
Emotion UI cuts icons corners to make it rounded (iOS like) and adds background to every icon, even to these with transparent parts. It tries to pick at least similar color to icon, but still it looks horrible with many icons. Any idea how to disable this feature?
I agree it doesn't look good at all. The only way to do it is by finding a theme which allows you to have transparent icon backgrounds. Usually a Lollipop or a Material theme will have that.

It is a Q&A thread and a very valid question which many people will have. Even I had it when I got a Huawei phone and eventually figured out you had to change it with themes. Problem is they don't include any themes which disable that by default. So you have to search the web and look all over just to find a theme which supports icons with transparent backgrounds. It's no easy task and honestly it should at least come with one theme out of the box which allows for icons with transparent backgrounds.
The only solution I could find was running a different launcher. I'm running Nova Launcher and a Marshmallow theme now and this has oddly enough made me much happier with my phone.
