How to Change Font Size in a Krypton Build

Font Re-sizing in Krypton

Font: A font is a set of printable or displayable text character s in a specific style and size. The type design for a set of fonts is the typeface and variations of this design form the typeface family.

Builders create their Project based on a theme. It could be geared towards Sports, Movies, a Specific TV Show or Movie character. It could be Nature, Space or an Abstract theme, the limits are endless. But there is something else that is always taken into consideration when designing these builds. What size of text but most importantly the type of Font to use. You can have some of the most beautiful, spectacular background photos in a build. But it means nothing if the user can’t read the text used to maneuver their way inside it.

Why Change the Font?

Most users change the font size more often than the style due to a Visual Disability. Not everyone has 20/20 vision and it can be difficult to read a Build. Another reason would be the location of their TV set in association to where the viewers are seated. Not everyone owns a 65″ Big Screen TV. What ever your reason maybe, here’s an easy way to change the font.

How to change Font Size

The subject Build used was the Durex Build for Krypton. This was Randomly selected, I do not know nor do I have any connection whatsoever with the Builder(s). Skin used was their/his version of Xonfluence.

Once the Build has opened, select System. Most krypton builds need to go thru a few start up procedures due to what the Builder may have/have not coded into it. Add-ons may be completing a “forced update” or performing a maintenance proceed. So just wait a few seconds before selecting System.

font

Next step, select Interface.

font

Highlight Skin by hovering the cursor over it.

Move the cursor to the right and down to Fonts.

Font Options

A pop up window will appear showing a number of different options available to the user. To enable any of the changes described below, simply click on the option you have decided on.

Skin default- I like to call this the Fixer. If you make a mistake or don’t like the new look, click it to Fix it.

Larger font size- Does as described, makes the current font larger. This was used for this article.

Skin default without caps.

Ariel based- Style of font.

Massive- Changes larger into even LARGER.

Ubuntu Normal- best described here.

Ubuntu Bold- See above.

Consequently, changing to Larger has indeed changed all the font as you can see above. Don’t forget if any change(s) you make are not what you expected or like, just return to the previous page and try another. Don’t forget to use the Fixer *wink*.

In Conclusion

Changing the Font is really very easy to do and many of our readers are well versed on the method. However, a new user/beginner to using Builds may be confused and unsure what to do. Why we are continuing with providing basic help Blogs for those who are new to Kodi. If you have any more questions about this topic or others, come join us in the Streaming World Forum.

Using TMDb and Alluc API Codes in Kodi Add-ons

Using TMDb / Alluc Codes Together Before explaining how to link your TMDb api code with Alluc code, why does anyone need the code ? When the Add-on Elysium became the “go to” add-on as an alternative to Covenant, the Devs added the api Code. Consequently TMDb began cancelling each new api code generated by the Developers as it was viewed as “abuse of the code”. As a result the Developers spent more time generating a new code instead of improving the add-on itself. The Solution was to allow each user to generate their own personal IMDb Api code and enter it themselves. Generating your own TMDb Code While other groups were providing a solution, Ares Project Forum had taken it a step further by providing a Blog that gave a more detailed method that others had missed. In addition to generating a TMDb code, you will also need a Alluc code. This can be found by following this link . Add-ons Currently Utilizing both Codes The above list will be updated as ...

WiFi Settings & Tweaks for Kodi

I thought I’d cover the one of the most talked about issues in the world of streaming and thats WiFi and how to get the best out of it, practical measures and not some of the voodoo you read on some forums! What is WIFi? The term Wi-Fi refers specifically to the IEEE 802.11 set of standards for wireless networks. Several different standards are designated by a letter suffix on the 802.11, such as in 802.11g or 802.11n. In general all of the 802.11 standards operate on either a 2.4GHz or 5GHz radio frequency. 5GHz has much greater speed capability but a reduced range; generally speaking the lower a frequency the further it will travel, so don’t expect miracles if you switch to 5GHz. A key thing to note here is that if ANY device uses the older “b” standard then ALL devices *could* have their speed reduced to 11mbps on “g” networks, depending on your router. This really applies to older equipment or cheap equipment with old parts used in it *cough* t...

Updating Your Add-ons and Repositories in Kodi

Updating Add-ons / Repositories Updating your list of Add-ons and Repositories is the best way to ensure Kodi is functioning properly. Rather than checking, many newcomers think it’s better to just Uninstall the Add-on/Repo and reinstall it again. Totally unnecessary for many reasons. Consider this, if your vehicle runs out of fuel, would you replace it with another of the same make and model ? Of course not, you would find a way to fill it with fuel and carry on. Therefore, updating the Add-ons/Repos is like refueling your vehicle. This is another topic in our continuing effort to help the newcomers/beginners to the world of Kodi. You can view many more Blogs on a wide assortment of helpful topics here at Ares-Project Blog . Updating Repositories Rather than send an update for a single add-on that may be in a repo, the Dev will send one for the entire repo. It faster, more convenient and above all it saves time. Yet how do you know if your repo is up to date? Here are two exampl...

These are just some of the many add-ons for Movies and TV Shows available and are quite easy to navigate. What is Alluc.ee? First off, let’s take a look at what Alluc.ee is about. Here is a brief description of Alluc.ee and how you can take advantage of what it has to offer: “Alluc.ee (pronounced: “all-you-see”) is a user-generated link-sharing-website that catalogs links to TV shows, movies, music videos, sport, anime and cartoons. Alluc does not host any content itself. Alluc.ee also does not contain any download links, all are links to streaming video sharing websites. Users provide the links in the right category and they are released to the site after having been checked by the administrators. Video hosting sites that are linked include YouTube, Dailymotion, and Veoh, among others....
