Recommended setups for certain applications:
read here, how to make exceptions
ActionNames/Agendus:
-menu-->options-->Preferences-->All Views: check
Use Large Fonts, uncheck Use Bold fonts, check HiRes Display
-Go to a note field of an event and choose the small
font.
-In the Edit Contact view, I recommend using the
standard font (Options-->font)
**Unfortunately, the
names are not at all beautiful in the list Adress view. But the rest is quite
nice.
**Unfortunately, the 1 day list view also looks
not so nice.
**If you have a better setting, let me
know.
Alternative:
additionaly to the above you might
want to make the following exeptions in
FontHack:
LrgBold-->swiz##(1)
HRLrgBold-->swiz##(5)
**This will
solve the above mentioned asthetical
problems.
**You will loose the ability to use
the SmallFont in the NoteField of Agendus!!!
Bonsai (install the swiz##BonsaiSymbols.pdb):
-menu-->options-->Preferences-->Fonts; choose the
last font in every field.
**If you stop here, you will
see that the Note icon will not be displayed in
Bonsai. That's why I've created a workaround specially for this application:
-Install swiz##BonsaiSymbols.pdb.
-Go to FontHack; choose Bonsai from the first PullDown
menu.
-Select HRSymbols; then select the forth font
(which's name is only boxes) from the second pulldown menu.
-Select Symbols and select the last boxy font (down in the
pulldown menu where the swiz fonts are).
**The Setup for Bonsai should now show:
Symbol-->swiz##BonsaiSymbols(0)
HRSymbol-->Symbol
**This makes that the Symbols in Bonsai only have half
the hight as normal; you will see the NoteIcon even if you use the SmallFont (if
you have set it up to show in your BonsaiPrefs!)
BugMe:
To display the
icons in BugMe properly, you have to use this special setting:
LrgBold-->swiz(1)
HRLrgBold-->swiz(5)
or
LrgBold-->LrgBold
HRLrgBold-->HRLrgBold
CRS Launcher:
If you
display Large Icons:
LrgBold-->swiz(1)
HrLrgBold-->swiz(5)
If you display Small
Icons:
LrgBold-->swiz(1)
HrLrgBold-->swiz(5)
Std-->swiz(1)
HrStd-->swiz(3)**WARNING** This is not a *good*
solution, but the most beautiful, you will see (very little) clutter in the
category tabs
DateBk5:
-Go to the second
weekly view; choose ViewDisplayOptions from the menu; choose Cond/AltFont.
-In the List view, tap Opt; choose SmallFont.
**Please notice, that events with bold/large/largeBold fonts
will not be displayed properly in the List
View!
Alternative:
additionaly to the above you might
want to make the following exeptions in
FontHack:
LrgBold-->swiz##(1)
HRLrgBold-->swiz##(5)
**This will
solve the above mentioned asthetical problems in ListView.
**You will loose the ability to use the SmallFont in your
DayView and in the NoteFields of DB5!!
MegaLauncher:
Standard-->swiz(1)*
HrStandard-->swiz(3)**WARNING**
*You will have to
choose the SMALL font in MegaLauncher (for all views and for the categories)
**WARNING**This
is, so the time and date is displayed properly. You will see cluttered text in
ALL editfields in MegaLauncher though; you will have some troubles editing text,
but since a launcher is not a texteditor, this might not matter!
**TIP**If you
display 7 tab categories, you might want to use abreviated names for
those
iSilo:
in the menu, choose
Display; choose Small font. Very beautiful indeed!
pedit:
-In the EditView, choose the Large Bold font in
the lower right corner.
**Unfortunately, the listView
(ver6.20) is not able to display more items than normal, if you display the
small font.
ShadowPlan:
-Make sure
ShadowPlan hos NO CHECKMARK in the HiResPanel in Prefs!! (or SwitchDash)
-Go to Preferences in ShadowPlan:
-Go to the "HiRes Preferences" panel
-UNCHECK "Use mixed res. mode"
-Go
to the "Display Preferences" panel
-Choose the Small
font as your normal AND bold font! (If you choose another font, the lines will
be too high; this is due to restrictions in ShadowPlan and the PalmOS)
-Exit and restart SP
**This looks good, takes advantage of the
SmallFont, BUT you loose the ability of a bold font!

How To Make An
Exception for a certain application?
1. Go to
your Hackmanager.
2. Enter the FontHack Details
screen.
3. Choose the application you want to make an
exeption in the first pulldown menu:
4.Choose the font in the
list, then from the second pulldown menu, choose the font you want it to be
replaced with:
In this case, for
CRSLauncher, the Standard font would stay the standard (OS) font, whereas in
other application, it would still be replaced by the swiz font.
