Advice for making UI larger on IPOD?
« on: October 29, 2009, 02:58:00 AM »
UI = user interface

I just put rockbox on my ipod photo 30gb.
All the customizations and increased functionality is great on rockbox compared to official ipod UI.

However, one thing I really like on my original ipod UI is the largeness of it, I've tried several themes for rockbox (largest font size themes i could find were amarok and electicbarthing..) but all of them are mini compared to the larger UI and font size of the original ipod UI.

Couldn't find any font size settings in the on screen menus.. I saw a little literature about changing font sizes...

What advice do you have for me to get a UI on rockbox that's larger, with bigger buttons, but mainly larger TEXT display.

Thanks.

Rockbox fonts are not resizeable, each font is only one size. Pick a bigger font, and if the biggest fonts available by default are not big enough for you, you'll have to make your own: http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/CreateFonts

If you do a complete install, it installs the fonts and then you can choose a theme, and then go into font settings to choose a bigger font.
Just what I wanted!

Maybe it's a no brainer to the vets, but I thought I'd share so noobies like me can use the info.

Thanks.
