Hi all,
Basically, the font size in the Chrome browser is massive. It drives me crazy as everything else on my phone is small and tidy - my system font size is XS.
Changing "text scaling" in accessibility settings changes nothing. I even tried an app that changes the dpi of the entire system. Chrome fonts remained the same size.
For comparison, I've attached pictures of a web page viewed through Firefox and Chrome. Unfortunately, Firefox is far too slow and Chrome is far too personalised to prompt me to switch.
Does anyone else have this issue? A font size this large reduces the usability of the beautiful large screen.
Looks like I failed to attach the Firefox screenshot.

Posted in another forum with no luck. Default browser text is too small for my eyes although I realize it is not issue for most. Pinching and zooming is real pain. On almost all android browsers and all windows 7 browsers, you can change the default zoom but I can't find a way on touchpad and desperately need this for browser to be useable for me. There are some hacks I am aware of to change the default text size and it works for many mobile web pages but not most full desktop pages that set their own text size. Hence I need to change the default zoom not the default text. Surely this can't be that hard and would be extremely grateful if someone would help even if they don't perceive the issue of default zoom as a problem for them. Thanks in advance!

I don't have one [yet] to test, but I think I saw in a video you can double tap on text to zoom in a bit. This should be easier than pinch and zoom.
does work sometimes but very inconsistent. Still wish I could just change the default zoom but have posted in several forums and no respons
I like viewing facebook in my dolphin browser, or even the stock android browser. It's a nice way to see the news feed, the only problem is viewing images is a pain. For some reason, all friends photos are cropped, unless you download them. Screenshot attached.
What's wrong?

Edit:
Notice how the "like" "thumbs up" image is cut by about 80% - you can't even tell it's supposed to be a thumb any more.
Does anyone know how to configure other specific features of the MyZine widget?
Setting the folder and selections for slideshow in its settings is obvious. But how does one set the default browser + its webpage? Mine shows Yahoo and invokes http://m.yahoo.com even though my default browser is Dolphin HD and both stock ICS browser and Dolphin are set to open on a blank page. Also, anyway to resize some of the squares?
As others have mentioned, this could potentially be a descent widget if it wasn't so quirky...are there any other recommended apps / widgets that display similar contents??? # new emails...RSS/reader updates...weather...slideshow...without being resource intensive and looking descent (maybe w semi-transparent feature)???
hi, I searched before creating the thread and I found nothing.
I have this very beautiful and very wide image that I want to use as a wallpaper, but I would like to be able to see more of it when I scroll the panes.
for example, my screen's width is 480 px. I would want the wallpaper to scroll by 480 pixels when I scroll the panes, so I could see the whole image (or at least most of it. it's very very wide, I would need 16 panes to see it whole this way XD).
so the problems are two: managing to put the image as the wallpaper as it is, without cropping or adjusting it to the screen (I tried with wallpaper wizardrii but it can't do it) and changing how much it scrolls when I scroll the panes.
I don't mind modifying system files to do it.
many thanks to anyone who will help me.
Found a rather annoying bug on the most recent EUI update. For Android devices, if you go into settings>display and change the system font size, it is supposed to change the font size in the settings menu, but it also is supposed to change the font sizes in other apps like gmail, chrome, amazon, etc. This does not work reliably. When I change the system font size to extra large and go into the gmail app for example, the font in gmail is WAY too small to read. If I leave the gmail app open and go back into settings and change the font size from extra large to large, and then back to extra large again, then go back into the gmail app and click on any email, the font size will magically be larger and readable. BUT, once I close the gmail app the font size setting reverts back to tiny. Every time I open gmail I have to go to display settings and toggle the font size to make the gmail font large enough to read. The same thing happens with chrome and amazon apps (as well as others I'm sure). I can duplicate this problem with other apps using the same method. When I do the toggle trick the font size increases temporarily, but as soon as I close the app and re-open it, the font size is lost and I have to do it all over again.
Using the Parasite S18+S19 modded ROM and not having this problem. When I change font to extra large, gmail font becomes large too. But personally, I find even the smallest font comfortably readable so I don't use the large font sizes. Guess that varies depending on one's eyesight.
Can anyone using 18S verify that they have the same problem? Considering doing a factory reset (I didn't after I updated) to see if that fixes the problem. I'd rather not if it's not going to work.
EDIT: Performed factory reset today and that did NOT fix the problem Seems to be a bug in the firmware. Annoying as **** because the font size on that quad hd screen is small as ****!
