Re: I want to increase font size

Bi,
Edit your stylesheet.css

Find this:

a.category-top

Just add this:

font-size: 1em;

Re: I want to increase font size

:oops: I tried adding it at the end of the line

a.category-top {line-height: 1.8em; font-size: 1em;

}

and it does nothing, what did I do wrong?

I know NOTHING about CSS.

Re: I want to increase font size

Just checked your stylesheet.css and did a search for a.category-top - no no avail.

It appears that the font size of your site is globally set to 62.5% in

body {
margin: 0;
font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 62.5%;
color: #3B3B39;
background-color: #FFFFFF;
background-image: url(../images/body_bg.jpg);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: center top;
}

make sure you backup before attempting any changes

Re: I want to increase font size

Will do a backup now, what exactly do I change in that place in order for the other changes I would like to make to work?

Re: I want to increase font size

Bi,
Is your site the top notch????

Try this please:

#navCatTabs ul li a {
margin:0;
font-size: 1.1em;
padding:0 0.5em;
text-decoration:none;
}Just add this to the bottom of the sheet.. you can change the 1.1em to your likings.

Re: I want to increase font size

Yes my site is topnotchbassbaits.com

That didn't do anything either. :shocking:

I am really stumped, I added it at the bottom of the stylesheet, saved it and uploaded it.

Refreshed the page and nothing.

Tried bigger size, the same - nothing.

Re: I want to increase font size

Al, are you actually working on the stylesheet.css with this piece of info in the header?

/* Clean Business theme by Dieter Schneider for https://www.csstemplateheaven.com 2007*/

Reason for my question is that your changes don't show up in your stylesheet.css.

Did you upload it to the correct directory in YOUR_TEMPLATE?

haredo and myself were only questioning if we are looking at the correct site - simply because none of your changes are actually appearing in the stylesheet.css :yes:

Re: I want to increase font size

WOW, :shocking: when I load it into the css directory of My Template All H--l breaks loose! The entire site is so big it blows up off the page I had to reload the original stylesheet.

Any ideas why??

Re: I want to increase font size

Gotcha! :clap:

the stylesheet that you sent me is the stylesheet for the admin, identified by this in the header:

/**

  • @package admin
  • @ignore

No wonder we couldn't find your changes in the store stylesheet.css

Re: I want to increase font size

It makes the font in the Top categories larger, however I also want to increase the font size in the side boxes a little bit.

Any more suggestions??

Please :yes:

Re: I want to increase font size

Look for font-size in the stylesheet. The heading for each of these entries will show you their relevance. Also refer back to haredo's advice earlier in this thread.
