I really like the way my system looks with a higher density setting.
Unfortunately some things look better bigger or just don't look good at all / don't work at all in lower density settings.
Is there a way to size down specific UI elements in specific the statusbar?

I have experimented with lower screen densities on my SGS2. This makes much better use of the screen real-estate.
However, TouchWiz no longer fills the screen. Is there a way to alter the "height" of TouchWiz home pages?
There is a launcher.xml file in /data/data/com.sec.android.app.twlauncher/shared_prefs.
Does anyone have a list of valid options for this config file?
This may be a nitpicky thing from someone who barely posts, but I was wondering if there was a way to change the size of fonts in places like the settings menu from the smaller style like mikrom's uses back to the bigger size of the stock sense 1.0. I've tried font changing apps and lcd density but they make the buttons and borders way too big as well which makes everything ugly and overlap.
Any help would be great, thanks.
Not nitpicky at all. I interested in this also.
How are these different
If we change dencity of android phone so is resolution will be the same?
Resolution of a display is the total number of pixels that the display contains.
The actual hardware density is constant, but the density that is presented to the software can be changed.
If a program needs to display something that needs to look a certain height, and the reported display density is 160 ppi, the program will use 16 pixels, but if the reported density is 200, that tells the program that the pixels are smaller, and it will use 20 pixels to present the same object. However, since the resolution is unchanged, the object will actually look bigger.
I hope that clears it up for you.
Thnkss a lot
And changing Density is certainly usefull for new High Resolution Devices that Cant Operate old apps fullscreen...
Changing means it should be kept to high,so that every object looks smaller and really becomes to look like high quality.:thumbup:
I know the nexus10 has a 2560x1600 Resolution but that includes the Softkeybar (Home, Back, Options) which we cant hide. We need the "real" usabable resolution so we dont get on trouble with image cropping etc.
Does anybody know exactly how high the Softkeybar on the Nexus10 is or what the "real" usable Resolution for the Nexus10 is? I googled already but cant find any usefull information.
Would be great to hear something from you guys.
Best regards

Just a thought... take a screenshot. If it's less than 1600px high... minus the amount from 1600.
all screenshots i can find are 2560x1600. So that doesnt really help
I think it's 42dip.
for xxhdpi the ratio is about 1:3... So that would be about 126px (42px x 3).
EDIT:
Yep, this should help:

hm that confuses me. I measured it in photoshop on a 2560x1600 Screen shot and it was 96px. But i wanted to make sure so i hoped for some official info about that.
The DP stuff will be important when choosing sizes for UI Elementes but isnt relevant for the whole "whats resolution to work for" problem.
Isnt there any official Info about how many pixel of the screen height (in landscape mode) i loose to the Softkeybar?

This guide has some of the basic info for density calculations.
http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/screens_support.html
The value will be different depending on the device's current screen density, but below are the default calculations for the Nexus 10:
The navigation bar height is defined in framework-res as 48dp.
The device's screen density is defined in build.prop as 320.
The density ratio (screen density / android default density of 160) is 2.
48 * 2 = 96px so your measurement in photoshop is right.
You can also visually check using Settings > Developer options > Input subsection > Pointer location

I just come back to say yeah it was 48dp. I had changed mine using AOKP to 42dp.
The above post is good info.
I don`t use navigation bar or the notififcation bar.
On aokp roms i hide them with gmd gesture control. Very easy to navigate with gestures and have the whole screen real-estate to apps.
How can I go about changing the system/display font size beyond what is offered by settings/display/font size? "Normal" is a bit too small for my taste and "Large" is too large. I would like to set the system font size to something in between. I would rather not change the DPI. Thanks.
