Yeah I have seen that(this is where I meen I can change the font), but how do I change the size?
Some lines after this you can also change the place of the name

Or maybe it's not

... five seconds searching...
In transition.ini:
Task Nav
[task_nav]
tile_font = Nokia Sans 15

but this is for the task navigator... not for the app menu... right?

does this 15 is for the size of the letter? or the font is just named "Nokia Sans 15"? Because if this is the whole this won't really help me for making smaller the letters without the theme-customizer.

Ok I installed the catorise plus. I thought it was looking ugly because of the mod

but it is not that bad... but we will see if we can have some other modded menus as well

15 it's size of Nokia Sans font. It take you 30s to check it. Change it to e.g. "URW Chancery L 16" and you will see.
/etc/hildon/theme/transitions.ini

Ok.. I thought that there was a way of using the Nokia Sans in a smaller size...

An another idea is to separate the menu from hildon-desktop and make the menu to a normal application that can be changed by the user at will, without any recompilation of hildon-desktop

What about this?

Landscape:

I will try to make one like the FAM with small icons but there is some work to get done for the other menus as well

Nice THANKS

I never remember what icon is which program (and the tiny white text below usually isnt readable because it gets mixed up with the background) , so the menu as it is has been useless to me.

For me the important part is not how pretty it is to look at, but rather how easy it is to use. So the small icons arent that necessary

Also, i would like a black font. it is much easier for the eyes (and also for a camera...) to see a black font on a light background

Edit: Feel free to call it the grandpa theme
