Need help - VZW Omnia for blind/low vision users

[Guest twolostminds]

The VZW store rep said that you guys and xda were the experts and if anyone could help.....

i posted this over at xda and I am hoping someone can be of assistance.

"Hello all,

I need to switch to a windows mobile device and the Omnia has the largest screen of any phone that Verizon offers. I am legally blind/low vision and need a phone with a high contrast theme (white on black or bright yellow on black) and large fonts. Eventually I will also install some type of screen reader software like Code Factory on it but also like to make use of the sight I have left. In the past I have flashed a Moto V9m to Telus firmware to make use of their high contrast UI and recently have been using the LG Voyager because it offers a nice white on black theme and semi-large fonts.

Is there a way to change the fonts and font sizes on the Omnia. I would basically need to change all the default fonts, everything from menu's to sms font sizes.

The VZW store rep that refered me to this site also sugested that spb shells might be able to help. Since this would be my first Win Mobile device I'm feeling a little bit like a noob. lol Any and all help and suggestions would be greatly appreciated."

Thanks in advance.

Bump...

I've seen somewhere on this forum that the "X" and Windows flag can be enlarged from one of the cab files. "Finally Big X" That gives me a little hope that other WinMo pieces can be enlarged as well.

Can someone confirm that the program icons can be modified and what the size specs are on them and location on the phone?
