The main "restore" pull down menu don't restore icon size. The "restore icon size" pull down menu in the same page where you can set icon size do work.

The icon size is meant to be restored by the option in the Density page :)
I added the Xperia size.

The new icon size option is interesting but break on SailfishX. By default its 172 but if we activate the selection we cannot choose 172 again. We're then stuck with ethier too big or too small icons. :(

Hi fravaccaro
The most recent software update seems to have broken something in UI themer as it can't no longer apply fonts, after selecting the font, it rotates indefinitely . Have gone through all the usual steps, un installed and re installed it, pkcon refresh, nothing works. Themepack support works great for fonts, but not for pixel ratio. Am out of ideas. So sorry for always asking for help after system upgrade

Have you reinstalled the default fonts via the Tools page?
DameCENO

Yes I have, as well as reinstalling default Sailfish fonts from terminal uninstalling and reinstalling both ui themer and themepacksupport.
I can apply fonts but only via themepacksupport, via UI themer it keeps loading for ever without any effects. Pixel density ratio on the other hand, not even themepacksupport can help with it...

Which font did you use?

I am so sorry, I am actually only seeing this reply just now.
I use gasptown and handy as my main fonts rarely use the others.
Strangely enough this new version fixes the pixel density option which now works flawlessly but still can't apply fonts, forever rotating but unable to apply the font and restart the homescreen. The option to restart the homescreen in UI Themer works very well to be clear, but just can't apply fonts on my Jolla 1. I am about to try and run themepacksupport via terminal and see if I can apply the font from there as it worked well for fonts till now

Just used themepacksupport to apply handy font which worked quite well, but now even the pixel ratio in UI Themer that worked just now, no longer works. I am so sad that I always have so many challenges with my favorite tweaking tool, It's not fair
UPdate: Reinstalling default Sailfsh fonts from themepacksupport solved the fonts applying issue in UI Themer, but sadly the pixel density ratio is still broken.
I tried to run the dconf reset command as you instructed earlier here but I get a permission denied error as cannot create /user/... something. Worthy of note, I use a mount service for my home and android storage on my memory card. It can't be the issue for I have always used this in the past with UI Themer and it always worked. Any assistance would be so appreciated, I maintain what I said my device isn't complete without this app
What format is accepted to change the pixel density value in themepacksupport in terminal? 0.9 0/9 0,9 ? I think because I am not sure how I can't try to change it there to see if it works and report back

Honestly I'm not aware of those fonts. The correct format is 0.9.
Usually reinstalling both themepacksupport and UI Themer fixes the issues you reported.

Thanks so much for your reply, means a lot to me.
I have tried all fonts with the same effect, 0.9. Well I will give it a try in themepacksupport, and uninstalling and re-installing both UI Themer and themepacksupport and report back

Don't forget to reinstall fonts before trying again.

OH!!! I didn't think of that, those fonts will be uninstalled as well... pkcon comfirmed it as well as themepack support wouldn't be uninstlled the traditional way, thanks a lot, I am reinstalling them as we speak
Yes!!! Uninstalling them both, rebooting the device and reisntalling them did the trick. Thanks a million, now both fonts and pixel density ratio are both functioning perfectly well in UI Themer. And you were right not to be conversant with handy and gasptown fonts as they are missing from the fonts secton on openrepos, along with a host of other fonts on my memory card I downloaded from here more than 2 years ago

Thanks for answer. I tried it but unfortunately it doesn't work, the value is still coming back to 1 by itself. Is this possible that patches cause that ? Sorry for my english ;D

fravaccaro, help, just upgraded to 2.1.3 and the display density submenu is gone, and fonts won't apply anymore, how can I fix it, or do we need an upgrade of the app? I can't imagine using Jolla 1 without UI Themer.

Display submenu from where?
As for rhe fonts, they don't apply if you forgot to unapply them before upgrading. Check the Tools menu to reinstall them.

Sorry for the mix up, in UI Themer, I had forgotten how to locate the pixel density option but I have. As for the fonts, I had to run pkcon refresh then pkcon install sailfish-fonts to have them applying again as I always forget to revert to default font before upgrading.
But as for the pixel density is just as when i upgraded to lijoki, it remains on the default value and won't change no matter what I try. I have gone through the instructions you gave the last time with dconf update and all, installing and reinstalling ui themer, nothing works, I need assistance on that please
