Bigger fonts, please!

[sosha]

I am suprised at the size of the font used on the Cingular 2125. Especially for an incoming call in my phone book. Why, oh why can't we use more that 1/10th of the screen (so it seems) to display the incoming name & number? Any software out there to help with this?

there is a way to make the font larger. in the settings menu there is an option for accessability. (START>SETTINGS>ACCESSIBILITY)

from here you can make the system fonts larger... now this wont effect incoming calls but everything else will be nice and big

Thank you very much; too bad there's not an in-between size.

i did a little bit of research for you on my way home. according to my friend, who is a developer of windows mobile devices, the incoming call screen is just an xml file... if i understand correctly.

if it is then just like homescreens i believe this could be edited too. now unortunatly i have not researched it more than making a phone call but at least now you have a starting place for a nice google search

EDIT: i looked around and searched my phone. unfortunatly i could not find any xml file for the incoming call screen. that doesnt mean one doesnt exist... though its totally possible that i mishead/understood him ops:

Yes, the incoming call screen is just a template that can be customized - just not by the end user. Don't get me started on how horrible this is. It's a total broken experience when you consider the caller ID image size. :evil: Anyway, according to my contacts in MS, there is no way for the end user to change this. :cry:

Did we ever rant about this on our front page? This is baaad! :evil:

I would like to meet the person who chose the caller-photo-id image size on the incoming call screen. :roll:

im sure theres a way to change it. if there is one thing i know its when microsoft says something cant be done someone goes out and does it. visual styles for xp for instance
