#428 Android: Larger menu items
The menu items (drawn by J2MEPolish to emulate the LCDUI classes) should be larger to improve touchscreen usability.
I mean all the menus which use javax.microedition.lcdui.List or javax.microedition.lcdui.Form, such as the setup menus, recordings menu, list of tracks, list of waypoints etc.
I have already played around with the polish.css file but with little success so far.
Does anybody know where parameters inside this file such as "font-size" are documented?

font size appears to be documented in "css basics", http://www.enough.de/products/j2me-polish/documentation/lush-ui/css-basics/
Markus has done changes to this in January (resource/polish.css), and the changes do improve things.
I now did some changes to a couple of the menus (in GuiDiscover.java) to improve things on big displays.
However, there's great variance with even the Android target devices, 320x240 being quite common but some devices have 1200x800 or more. This brings up the question: can the CSS machinery be used dynamically to switch the styles at run-time depending on e.g. pixels-per-inch value of the device?
Apparently styles can be set programmatically:
