Hi Bernd

Thanks, I am aware of that, but I think it is an inelegant solution,  
acceptable ad interim as a workaround, but not longterm.

I have not yet seen the SMS app on a real device, but the one on my  
Nokia N9 has a tiny send button.

My app is designed for emergency use, must be easy to use as possible,  
and therefore I require a larger send button. I know from personal  
experience that trying to operate a mobile when it is wet and below  
zero degrees is not easy (at the very edge of the capabilities of  
touch screen technology).

I can also imagine a use-case for an alternative "large print" SMS  
Client  for the visually impaired. Again on my N9 the font used is so  
small ....

Chris
