Request; Low Vision themes or larger/bolder fonts for visually impaired?

Hello to all,
Just found this site and I'm really impressed! This is definitely what the internet is all about; the free exchange of ideas and spreading the love worldwide =)
I have a request for the GURUS; I am visually impaired and hate using the clumsy & cumbersome magnification tools available for WM6 (even mobile speak/mobile magnifier are booty at $90/each!).
My plan is to install Touch-it or Open-Touch (how cool is that!!!!) and the other assorted goodies available for my new wing but was wondering if anyone has designed a theme for low vision/easy viewing?
To be honest I would be happy with larger, bolder fonts and easy to read coloration; can anyone recommend a theme or possibly help by making one for me?
All help & suggestions are welcome, and links are great because searching through threads with my vision can be frustrating or near impossible at times.
Thanks to all & keep up the good work

I assume you have already changed the text size from within the system settings. I re,member seeing a thread somewhere on xda-devs (do a search) where you could install and use different fonts. I remember that some of the fonts avaliable where alot clearer, bolder, larger etc.
Sorry I couldnt be more helpful.

I'll check around, the larger setting on the fonts helped a little but I need a bolder font for sure =)
Thanks!

found some cabs I downloaded from the thread I found, I still cant remember where the thread was! All the fonts are best viewed with cleartype on.

Right on! Thanks for the help, I had driven myself nuts looking for the right thread =)
So I uploaded the .cab's and ran them, where can I change the font style on my wing? I checked in the settings/system/screen but didn't find any way to toggle them...

By installing the cabs you effectively changed the system font to whatever the cab font is. You can only really tell the difference when you enable clear type and change the font size. Sart -> settings -> screen its all in there.

Good deal, now that I installed them one at a time & watched closely I can definitely tell the difference. I'm using Segoe UI and it's way better!!!
Thanks for all of the help =)

hello, mate, i've had a long running battle with different fonts and font changing programs on my SEX1i, few suggestions, download some free fonts from net, and put ones you like into windows/fonts folder, then it becomes even more intersting as CommMANAGER takes first SUITABLE font and uses it, so you can basically change it by deleting fonts alphabetically from the top, problem is , that some other programs use same process, so u should choose font that shows numbers as well , and , more importantly in my case, supports other languages, i suggest common windows fonts like book antiqua, georgia, couirier, arial and so forth, oh , and only .TTF fonts seem to work. you can also change font and its SIZE through fwe programs, like SPB Tips And Trix, AdvConfig, STK tools, XperiaTweak 2.0 and probably few others, check them out, but be careful, especially if you are bilingual, cause CommManager shares font with Opera and some dialers, if u need more info - U R WELCOME to drop me a line, as i said, i ve been having an ongoing battle with fonts and font sizes, and tried most options [email protected]

[Q] Theme/Skin modification: I need a little help.

I'm using one of the stock HTC Sense 2.5 skins as a basis for a custom skin. I'm using apktool to access the files and build my updated apk file. I've found a lot of the the things I want to replace, but I'm a bit stumped on where to find some of the button backgrounds and background panels (I don't see anything that looks exactly like these in any of the subfolders for the skin I'm working with). I'm attaching two screen shots with big orange arrows pointing to the specific parts I'm looking for. I'd greatly appreciate it if anyone can point me to where these items are located and what they are called.
Thanks in advance for any help anyone can offer.

Id say look in the htccamera.apk, framework, settings, htc res or system ui! Its so hard to find the correct png from all the different locations? Ive been in & out of the Rom frameworks & have modded my phone ui but those ones dont ring a bell sorry mate

Thanks. I hadn't thought of checking any of those files since these specific items seem to change according to the skin. I'll dig through them (especially the framework one, and see what I can find).

I am also interested in modify icons (specialy on my home screen) and cud you tell me what soft to use? Tku in advance

look in the folders like i said in post #2 plus try settings, rosie, ect.... you can mod almost any apk & png files, just dont mod the htc_ime.apk! Anything goes wrong.... just reflash the rom before you had problems

Keyboard modding

Hi all,
I have been trying to mod the HTC_IME.apk for a week now and other than changing the png's and color's in the color.xml.
I'm looking to edit the png's to color them on rest and push. so basically if someone knows of a layout of all the png's and what one's are used I would very much appreciate it.
Thanks

Ok I have been able to make most of my mods. WOO HOO.
I just need a little help with the button font color, what xml is it in?
I have been through almost all of them and compared to other HTC_IME keyboards with the right color font and can't seem to find where the color is hidden for the font on the buttons.
Can someone please help me figure this out?
thanks
