Larger text for categories

[Elfboy]

How would I go about making the sidebox category text larger.

I see CSS for .sideBoxContent but I gather that would change the size of ALL sideboxes. I just want the categories bigger.

Edit: I misread.

Try this;

#categories-content {
font-size: 12px }

Make a backup and insert that selector into your CSS.

THANKS, Sketchy

It's actually #categoriesContent but you pointed me in the right direction! (didn't see that before)

[Sketchy]

You're welcome. Good job!

I missed that original selector(#categoriesContent) too. I guess I should have searched your CSS first. I was wondering why the original wasn't working when I first tried it virtually.. because there was one in place already.

Just an addition, iIf you want the size to be relative you can also put font size as 'em' instead of 'px' or pixel.

eg. 1em

This is useful in case the visitor zoom their browser... just my 2cents

Sketchy, yeah I thought I searched for "categories" but maybe I was in the wrong CSS file . Nice to see they thought of that!

milkyway, I was about to use em but noticed px were used for .sideBoxContent and I thought I should be consistent.

---WAIT, I just checked again and both px AND em are used!

.sideBoxContent {
	background-image:url(../images/box002.gif);
	background-repeat: no-repeat;
	font-size: 11px;
	line-height: 125%;
	background-position:bottom;
	padding-top: 5px;
	padding-left: 20px;
	padding-right: 20px;
	padding-bottom: 25px;
	}

and

h4, h5, h6, LABEL, h4.optionName, LEGEND, ADDRESS, .sideBoxContent, .larger{
	font-size: 1.1em;
	}

hmmm... that should probably be changed.

Dang, I might be going back to pixels....

When I make text larger in a browser most of the templates start falling apart.
examples:
http://www.unbannable.com/zen/index....&products_id=1
http://www.ohku.com/store/
and most of the others

Compared to my 1st Zen store:
http://www.naturalhistoryonline.com/...=index&cPath=3
(which is 1.2.5 and uses px not em)

Any thoughts?

got some lingering html code in lines 379 to 400 of your source code for demo 1.

Has someone been playing with core files?

[Elfboy]

I didn't create the 2 demos but I thought they were based on default_template.

Maybe the font-size problem has to do with the conversion from tables to all CSS?
