=== Fonts ===
 +
As for 1.1.0, you can use your own TrueType or OpenType fonts with The Homebrew Channel. You can assign a font, size, and color to individual GUI elements:
 +
 +
{| class="wikitable"
 +
|-
 +
! element ID !! meaning
 +
|-
 +
| label || Labels (background info, group headings, "Author" and "Version")
 +
|-
 +
| button || Buttons (and "radio" buttons)
 +
|-
 +
| button_desel || Radio buttons (not currently selected)
 +
|-
 +
| dlgtitle || Message box title
 +
|-
 +
| memo || Text box (description or message)
 +
|-
 +
| appname || Application name in main browser
 +
|-
 +
| appdesc || Application description in main browser
 +
|}
 +
 +
Each font can be specified using a &lt;font&gt; element inside the theme.xml file. You can specify the file, size, and color like this:
 +
 +
<source lang="xml">
 +
        <font target="memo,dlgtitle">
 +
                <file>foo.ttf</file>
 +
                <size>16</size>
 +
                <color><red>0</red><green>0</green><blue>0</blue><alpha>255</alpha></color>
 +
        </font>
 +
</source>
 +
 +
As you can see, each &lt;font&gt; element can be assigned to one or multiple targets, separated by commas. There can also be a single &lt;font&gt; element with no target attribute that overrides the defaults for the entire theme. The rule is that for each font, each parameter (size, color, font name) gets individually looked up first in a &lt;font&gt; element with the specific target; if it doesn't exist or doesn't have that parameter, it gets looked up in the base &lt;font&gt; element, and if that doesn't exist or doesn't have that parameter, the default is used. You should no longer use the old &lt;font_color&gt; element (though it is still supported for backwards compatibility).
 +
 +
As an example, the following theme.xml (combined with the appropriate TTF files) sets up the fonts exactly the same way as they are by default, but without actually falling back to the defaults:
 +
 +
<source lang="xml">
 +
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
 +
<theme version="1">
 +
        <description>Droid Sans font</description>
 +
        <font>
 +
                <file>DroidSans-Bold.ttf</file>
 +
                <size>16</size>
 +
        </font>
 +
        <font target="button,dlgtitle,appname">
 +
                <size>20</size>
 +
        </font>
 +
        <font target="memo">
 +
                <file>DroidSans.ttf</file>
 +
                <size>16</size>
 +
        </font>
 +
        <font target="button_desel">
 +
                <file>DroidSans.ttf</file>
 +
                <size>20</size>
 +
        </font>
 +
</theme></source>
 +
 +
Additionally, you can specify that the theme supports certain CKJ languages in its fonts, to enable those translations (though currently only Japanese is supported). Specify the language codes separated by commas as the langs attribute of the main &lt;theme&gt; element:
 +
<source lang="xml"><theme version="1" langs="ja"></source>
 +
 +
Keep in mind that the button and button_desel fonts should always be different in some way (weight, size, color). Otherwise, you will not be able to tell the currently selected options in the options menu.
