How can I change text size in the side boxes

Hi,
Can someone please point me in the direction of where I can change the text size for the side boxes e.g. the categories box.

I am guessing that it is in tpl_catagories.php with a reference back to one of the text styles in the CSS file - but I cant fathom out where exactly

Re: How can I change text size in the side boxes

Simplest thing is to install Firebug or the Web Developer tools in Firefox. (Using Firefox for development is highly recommended.)

Then you can use the tools to tell you exactly which element to apply the style to and you can even test styles in the tools, live on your site, until you get the desired result. Then you copy the changes from the test stylesheet and save them to your stylesheet.css file for FTPing to the site.

Re: How can I change text size in the side boxes

you do all those styling within you css and not any core file .. unless core files have inline style.

this is from original stylesheet.css

a.category-top, a.category-top:visited {stylesheet.css (line 603)
color:#008000;
text-decoration:none;
}
you can add font-size to this rule ..

use firebug extension for firebox ,to locate your css stuff if you need to change something

Thanks rstevenson and tony_sar,

I found it with your help. Much appreciate the help. Now that I know how to do this I can now go on to customising other bits - Its always the first steps that are the hardest (I hope)
