I tried to create a version of the Plankton theme with smaller fonts, however although Matchbox's title bar size changes, application font sizes do not change - even after a reboot. Attempted to install OS 2007 v2 theme (see URL) which also shrunk the font size, and was surprised to see that it didn't change the font size now either. Steps to reproduce: 1) Install hildon-theme-cacher from: http://tigert.1g.fi/blog-files/n800-theme/hildon-theme-cacher_0.2.0-1_armel.deb 2) Install Plankton theme: http://tigert.1g.fi/blog-files/n800-theme/experimental/hildon-theme-plankton_3.1.0-1_all.deb 3) Install Adria (12pt) theme: http://www.bleb.org/software/maemo/aria-12pt_1.0_all.deb Font sizes in menus and titlebars should be much smaller than default Maemo size.
Adding Tuomas to CC. Tuomas, you have experience with this issue: can you comment this?
I think that you have to run the theme cacher after you changed something. Running # hildon-theme-cacher /usr/share/themes/plankton should fix it.
Why would running hildon-theme-cacher over plankton fix problems with another theme? Either way, I've run it over both plankton *and* adria-12pt to no affect.

Reassigning to Tuomas.
Hmm. The font sizes are defined in "themespecificgtk.rc" in theme-tools' hildon-theme-layout-* packages. Look for a style definition named "osso-SystemFont" on the installed gtkrc on your device (they get all combined to just one file in the final packaging) There should be definitions for all font sizes, currently they seem to be "Nokia Sans 16.75" for the default fonts. If something uses the Nokia font in the UI, it should get it from this definition really. Check what you have in your gtkrc and let's see, maybe there is some value that did not get changed correctly? Are you adjusting these by hand, or with the thememaker or theme-tools?
They have been changed by hand. For example, check the gtkrc in the 12pt version of Adria linked to above. I haven't yet attempted to reproduce on OS 2007 v4 - but the steps above should make it fairly straightforward to test :-)
Andrew, has this improved in Diablo or is this still an issue?
Haven't tried recently, TBH. I'll try and find time to recreate.
