Messed up screens

[s2kfan1]

Hi everyone,
Have a Sprint Touch Pro with stock ROM and some minor customizations. A few days ago I noticed that my menus were all messed up when the slider keyboard is in vs. out

Below are the comparison screen shots with the keyboard in or out.

with slider keyboard in (NORMAL)



screen with the SMS folders displayed normally


VS: slider keyboard out (ABNORMAL Compare to above image)



same screen with the SMS folders with the names all scrambled and blanked out


AGAIN with slider keyboard in (NORMAL)




screen with the tabs "personal, system, connections" at the bottom of the page displayed normally

VS: slider keyboard out (ABNORMAL Compare to above image)



screen with the tabs at the bottom of the page not displayed unless I click on the tab.

Has anybody had this problem before? I would appreciate any thoughts. Thanks.

try unchecking "ClearType" in start/settings/systems/screen "cleartype" tab

there has been some issue with clear type having this type of blob texts effect in landscape mode.

clear type by default doesnt work in landscape i thought...

you have to reg edit it...or use advanced config or diamond tweak to turn on clear type in landscape...

is that what you did OP? turned on cleartype in landscape using AC or DT??

also, isthe keyboard really affecting this or is it landscape in general is the question.... rotate your screen with the keyboard still in, just to make sure its still happening so any keyboard issue somehow relating can be ruled out as well

This fixed the problem. Thanks a lot. The fonts edges are not as sharp/smooth anymore. Just gotta live with it I guess. Thanks again.

How do I rotate the screen to landscape with the keyboard still in?

The blob text in landscape...I would say about 98% of the time is related to the "cleartype" turned on, by either the manual way or via programs...but like "bored" said AC/DT have settings to turn it "off" when in landscape mode..but I dont know if it only works with the keyboard out or any time the screen goes into landscape mode.

I just learned to deal with it....it is really not that bad, and in a couple of days you will forget all about it being turned "off"... I did.
