I'm confused, the font size in my text messages had been small since I got the phone and nothing changed after the update. Now today for some reason it's bigger. I checked the setting and under display and gestures I selected small for font size again but it hasn't helped. Does anyone have any ideas, I hate this big font

There isn't a font size setting in the messaging app itself.

Believe it or not, you can pinch zoom the text size in the messaging app, and the size is sticky/persistent.

Thanks for the reply! - do I need to be rooted?
For lcd density yes. Launcher, no. Just download them from market. Ex: Launcher pro, adw launcher (ex), go launcher (pro), tons more.

Is the display really that dull and not sharp? I'd hope for a step up above pentile, larger size and all.

I think it's very sharp and readable, but that's coming from having used the Nexus One for almost a year and a half.

I'm have an i4 at the moment, and I can't see any pixels on that so on the SGS they are a little noticeable :/
Can anyone tell me what LCD Density actually does please?
is it effective?
Will it make text in the browser sharper?

its pretty damn sharp, and the only way your going to see pixels is if you go looking for them.

haha ^^ that made me LOL
on another note, i have tried changing the density by modifying the build.prop with root explorer, the default is set at 240 so i tried 210, made it look so much cleaner but the games have a slight issue with it tried running compatibility mode but no joy so back to 240 for now...
If you want to do it using root explorer
MAKE SURE YOU BACK UP YOUR ORIGINAL BUILD.PROP!!
1. navigate to system/build.prop and open in text editor
2. Make sure ur read write (lil button top right)
3. scroll down and look for "ro.sf.lcd_density=240"
4. change to whatever you want, i chose 210
5. save and exit and reboot

Can you remind me how please :/ I did this the other day but I can't seem to find it now :/
EDIT - Remembered ... I have already done it tho :/
In the end the display will always be WVGA and 4.3 inches so small text will never be as sharp or pixels as invisible as on an iPhone 4, ZTE blade, or other small-screen high-res device.
On the up side Samsung's choice of WVGA probably kept costs reasonable and means all software is compatible, and the screen is still flippin' gorgeous
Screen is beautiful. I'm using the above mentioned font. Can't see why anyone would complain. What r u guys trying to read?

Hey I understand, but was using a motorola atrix the last 2 weeks. And that was a poor excuse of a phone. My fiance has a iphone 4 and my naked blind eye dont see any difference. Its just me, guess I got low standards.

Its not possible (as I know).
The widget in your screenshot has that capability itself.
Search for minimalistic text on google play
If you're just talking about a simple text widget then, like isaacluz suggested, use Minimalistic Text.
Your other option is to use Lightning Launcher. If you use the free mode layout you can rotate and resize any widget and place it anywhere instead of being confined to the standard grid layout. It takes awhile to learn how to use it but it's well worth the effort.

Has anyone came across away to change the colors or to customize the sms bubbles on stock app? If so please send me in the right dirrection. If not is there a simple way of doing this or one of the great minds here can make a aroma were we can select packages to change out colors or styles of these bubbles?

If you're referring to the bubbles on the individual conversations, yes, you can do this in the settings of the stock messaging app.

I am referring to the bubbles but i was thinking of modding the colors of them like a dark red with black lettering or something of that sort. to bring more customization to the phone without sacrificing the features I use in the stock sms for a 3rd party.
Bump. Where are the files at so we can mod them?

Hi, not sure if this is the correct place to post, the Themes and Apps forum seems to be more for promoting developer apps and the like.
So, I am having an issues with Nova Launcher; I made a picture - http://imgur.com/w7eFSac
What am I looking for is to be able to slide the entire app grid down to reduce the empty space on the bottom and increase it at the top. It is NOT an issue with my icon pack, it is the same with default icons. I have messed around with the settings a lot - there is an option to increase/decrease spacing above and below as a unit, but not separately. Any thoughts? Thanks.

I always use Nova as well and unless someone comes up with a specific mod for Nova I don't think its possible. I could be wrong but like you already know the only options for the margins affect all aspects of the margins ( top , bottom, left, right )
Maybe look into another launcher?

That's what I'm leaning toward. To be honest I am surprised this isn't more of an issue with people... the margin balance at the top and bottom is terrible. The icons are almost touching the status bar at the top and there's probably 4-5mm of space at the bottom.
Any recommendations on another launcher?

You know the only other one I found to be comparable to Nova was Apex. Plus you can still use all the same icons pretty much. There are quite a few launchers out now though so hopefully you find one ya like.

Funny coincidence, as Apex is the one I went and got before reading your reply... Seems pretty awesome so far. Thanks.
Can't you remove the homescreen page indicator in the dock settings? That might bring the app icons down a bit. I use TSF Shell, it's freeing to not be confined to a grid like all of the other launchers.

Along with some of the separately downloaded TSF widgets. It takes awhile getting used to, like you can tell they changed the way they handle certain launcher tasks just to differentiate themselves, but it has some cool concepts. Only downside is that $17 it costs lol

Thanks man .. actually it's showing me that it's something like $11 and change. Maybe that's why I never took the TSF plunge but if your recommending it maybe I'll check it out.

I got it I think back on my GNex so it was $17 back then... same price as Next launcher is or used to be... but they had a free trial option to test it out. It's up to you how much $11 is worth lol I really like the launcher though.
Im sorry if this already posted but I didn't see any on my device I can't find anywhere that will let me change the clock layout or color and I would really like a way to do that because my background color makes the clock hard to read

I don't think you can do it with the native launcher - I tried finding a setting the first day I had it. My guess is you'll need to use a different launcher. I've used Nova in the past...tons of customization available.

I'm with you - my background is fairly light so seeing the clock on the lock screen was hard, plus I wasn't a fan of the stacked style or the thin font (tired eyes like thicker fonts). Was bummed when I dug through all the settings and couldn't find anything that allowed for adjustment.
Same and I agree the stacked got is not that pretty to look at
