nice tip.

but... i did this on my first SGS2, then i had it returned and got a new one.

now when i click the menu button, the first entry under "settings" is "message font size", and not "message skin" as i believe it was called before.

is it just me, or does this not work with the newest firmware?

Some firmwares have it and some don't. KE7 and KF1 did but KF4 and KF2 don't. But my battery is so much better on KF2 I'm willing to lose the message themes.

I'm pretty sure my KF2 had it, but after my update, which as far as I know was supposed to just be for the browser, I lost the ability to skin...

Now usually I wouldn't care, but I hate the iPhone-esque skin that I'm now stuck with... I wish Apple would sue for stuff like this instead...

KF3 doesn't have it either.
