I would like to change system colors and other font specs (like chnage from black font to white,add shadow etc :roll: . Where in the registry are the settings for fonts and what do they mean?
I recommend CETuner and Tweaks2k for this kind of stuff. Not sure where they are in registry though!

Look in \Windows\Fonts and delete the font you don't want. There aren't that many to choose from most likely.

I only have 1 font in there and it won't let me delete it, any other ideas
Does anyone know how to change the start menu font colour to black?
I've tried searching but still can't find a solution. Tried RCMod but still can't change the font colour.
I found out that some manila files must be edited in order to change the font colour. If so, which file and what to be changed?
Anyone knows how to change the font colour?
Please?
I would like to know this too...I want to use white background and in wm start menu icon text is white=unreadable. thanks
Hi,
I have searched through the forum, but to no avail.
does anyone know how to use REGedit to change the font colour of the sms messaging display screen when it is overlayed on the homescreen.
I currently have a light backround and with the white sms text, it is difficult to read. I am sure there is some way of editing it in regedit but cannot find it.
I am running CHT with a few extre tweaks but nothing too magnificent!
cheers in advance
I backed up and replaced the stock fonts from system/fonts. Replaced Roboto-bold, light, lightitalic, regular, thin, and thinitalic and renamed the new ones to the roboto names. All the fonts were replaced properly after rebooting except for the lock screen colon. In the clock app and the status bar, the colon appears without issues. I don't mind reflashing the rom, it's just the stock Lollipop font bugs the daylights out of me!

After checking several fonts, it seems to me that roboto-thin is responsible for the clock colon, try restoring just that one.
*edit* I realise that the font Roboto-Thin is for the whole clock but have found myself a solution.
I am using Font Installer from Play to change my fonts on a rom without theme engine and after working out that the lock clock is Roboto-Thin I decided to try edit the font. I opened my chosen font with "Font Creator" and saw that there was a character called "undefined" that was a rectangle. So I copied the colon and pasted it over the rectangle, so now any character that is considered undefined should be represented by a colon. I saved the edited font and installed it. It works! Though any other undefined character will now be a colon.
I guess another solution would be to compare the dimensions of the alternative font colon with that of Roboto-Thin and make it the same.

I've used FontForge (free font editor) for Windows and have to edit the 'Roboto-Light.ttf'... and i have pasted the colon sign at the 0xEE01 position and exported the font as TrueType and replaced the font file in /system/fonts.
Now, the big ugly square is 'repaired' ... Look at the screenshots.

You are a genius!
How could you find that it was that precise glyph which is the lockscreen colon?????
Anyhow, THANK YOU!!! :good:

Thank you so much for this exact unicode. I've been replacing .notdef unicode with the colon, but every glyph which isn't defined in a font will use colon I'm still trying to find out why some character arts like ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) render fine on stock font but custom font uses .notdef unicode. I searched for the individual unicodes in stock font, but they are empty just like in custom font. Could you please share your input on this?
PS: Sorry for resurrecting an old post :silly:
Thanks.! This saved me time trying to figure out which character to replace. I use fontforge on Linux and regenerated. So far so good, even though the font file is now nearly 100kb smaller now.
A little fontforge script that will:
- add the colon to 0xEE01
- scale the font (if your font is much larger or smaller than stock)
- convert the font to TrueType (if it's not one already).
Code:
#!/usr/bin/fontforge
i=1
while ( i<$argc )
Open($argv[i])
Select(0x003A)
Copy()
Select(0xEE01)
Paste()
SelectAll ()
Scale(100)
Generate($argv[i]:r + ".ttf")
i = i+1
endloop
Works on Linux, not sure if it'll work on Windows.
