reasonable font

(1/2) > >>

Neil Parks:
I have installed Rockbox on an Ipod Nano (1st gen) and a Sansa Clip+.

In both cases the default font is so subminuscule that the first thing I had to do was--with great difficulty--try to find the font settings so I could select one that is of human-readable size (somewhere in the 14 or 15 series).

I suggest that in the future you should default to a reasonable font size, and then let people with perfect 20/20 eyes select something smaller if that is what they would like.

Thanks.

Usually its better to just install a theme with a larger font.

You can submit changes to the default theme for other people to evaluate, but overall people seem fairly ok with the stock settings so they would have to be quite compelling I think.

I don't care at all about themes.  I just need text that can be read without a microscope.

If you want a larger font, the easiest way to do that is to pick a theme with a larger font. 

Neil Parks:
Phooey.  I thought that "themes" were an optional extra, not a necessity.   The manual does not make that necessity clear at all.

taste you might want to install additional themes to change the look of Rockbox.

OK, I'll go back into RB Utility and have a look.
