Soften up some of the UI elements on Android

[sigmabeta]

A few tweaks to font sizes, weights, and colors to make the UI look less Gingerbread-ish. Also makes the touch targets for the items in the hamburger menu a little taller, so they are easier to touch.

These changes can be previewed here:

Those are images from the Android Studio UI editor, because I don't know how to build correctly for Android yet. The UI specific stuff builds fine though, so I doubt there will be a problem getting it to build.

Also, anything marked with the xmlns 'tools' won't show up at runtime, they are just placeholders for the UI editor.

I would say in the first image the text looks much too light. Especially the file size text. However, that's just my opinion.

The lighter text color is because Holo Light's default black-on-white text is too contrast-y. The filesize text field is not as important as the title, so it's even lighter to illustrate that relationship.

Stuff like that is all over Android 4.2+ish stuff, particularly the stuff from Google (for example http://imgur.com/tsbXAal)

I could pull it back and make the title a little darker if other people think it's too light, though

In the google reference image you provided, the text is a little bit bigger. If you are going to stick to these norms, you should make the game name font a little bigger to at least match it.

Also, on a side note, direct link your images please. It's annoying to click through on dialup.

I could bump up the size a little bit. I'm not sure it's good to make it quite as large as the heading font on those Now cards - on a phone in portrait mode, we would run out of screen space for longer titles pretty quickly.

I doubt that's a huge issue because the user could just flip the phone - or look at the banner icon.

Something like this perhaps?

That font size should fit most titles. The only title I have that's longer MP2E is TLOZ: Wind Waker. But again, if you don't recognize that from its banner...

Edit: Now that I step back and look at it, it seems that is approximately as large as the Now cards' heading font.

@Sonicadvance1 Please decide whether we accept this patch or not.

I really don't like how this looks. I have a 4.5" screen @ 720p, and the titles are way too big. It may work on larger screens but I feel there are a lot of devices that this will look way too large on.
