Your iOS 7 text too thin?

Did this as soon as I upgraded the iPad mini. Been suggesting it since day one. Not a fan of iOS 7 in general but really not a fan of the anorexic text.

BOLD FTW.

Cheers,

I think even on a smaller screen like the iPhone 4, the thin text would be harsh.

Great tip! Just what these tired eyes needed!

Thank You very much to the OP! Just what my sorry eyes were looking for! Thanks again!

Did this on the mini when I had the betas. Makes the home screen icon text much nicer. The thin text made the mini screen look worse than it actually is.

That's so true. No Retina display is bad enough. The thin text made it look even more fuzzy.

This is a great tip, and one that makes my iPhone 5 screen so much more readable under iOS7.

Great tip, and not to be different from everyone else - WHOOA that reboot was fast!!

I turned it on, and then turned it off again. I personally prefer the thin fonts. I rarely read the text under the icons anyway, and I don't seem to have any trouble reading it under the default settings.

I found it doubly worse when my background was lighter. u must have a dark background or excellent retinas haha.

Funny thing, I immediately set it to bold as well, but switched it back because the thin presents a cleaner look. Instead I upped the font size to a larger type, with the default apps it read much easier now without the need for bold.

The keyboard though... EPIC FAIL

Huh, I did the same thing. I actually turned contrast off because it seems to turn off the translucent layering effect which is the best part of the new OS.

If Apple can fix the overly white screens in some apps along with a darker background for the keyboard (and of course fix all the small bugs) then I think they have a big winner. I wasn't digging it in the first 24 hours, but It's really growing on me.

I'm going to go with both.

I meant lighter than that, like white.
