I always update the DPI to make everything smaller, and this time I reflashed didn't change it. I'll have to update my DPI when I leave work today and see if the speed font is smaller. However, it would still be nice if it were configurable. :D
The larger issue about DPI is that everything is too big on the screen. I like the icons to be finger-friendly, but the text below them doesn't need to be readable from across the room... but that's not what we're discussing here... just an explanation why I always fiddle with the DPI. ;) Marcus Bauer wrote: > >> I've looked inside the TangoGPS config file >> (~.gconf/apps/tangogps/%gconf.xml), but I couldn't see any options to >> set the font size. > > You should never fiddle with a text editor anything in ~/.gconf - bad > things may happen. > > I'll add an option for configuring it. > > Regards, > Marcus > I was in vi, and if I don't change anything, I always do a :q! to lose anything that might have accidentally changed. I learned my lesson long ago. Did you change anything in the position / speed algorithm? It doesn't seem to have as much jitter when stopped as it did before. But I've also updated my distro of SHR-U to the December 5th release, so it may have been something upstream.... or maybe just a coincidence. Keep up the good work. TangoGPS is an awesome program. :) -Laura -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/TangoGPS-font-size-for-speed-indicator-tp4256370p4263566.html Sent from the Openmoko Community mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
