changing font size

Hi - I am really a novice with webstuff but have managed to build most of the cart. I'm using v1.3.19h and have been changing the details on css for the font sizes. On the main page I have successfully changed the font size for home.....log in.... ...checkout etc on the top line but I cannot find where to change the font size for my shop name lower down the page before the tagline (this is the name you put in the admin/store name...section when you first start.) I also need to change the size of the font for the text "home" at the bottom of the page. Also although my font name is in the listed on the css page it hasn't changed it on the zen cart pages. Please Please help as I spent 7hours changing everything in my stylesheet but couldn't find these and it is driving me crazy.

thank you in advance :smile:

Re: changing font size

As always, we'll need to see the site to help with this kind of question.

For future reference, install the Firefox browser and the Web Developer plugin for Firefox. You can use those to see where in the stylesheet you change the styling of the various page elements.

Ctrl-Shift-Y will allow you to hover over a section of the page and see the class and id names for that section in the box at the top. The statements in the stylesheet that begin with # are id's and the ones that begin with dots are classes.

Ctrl-Shift-E will open the CSS editor and allow you to edit the stylesheet and see the changes in real time without changing anything permanently. An essential tool.

Some prefer Firebug, which does much the same thing.

(If you're using Firefox 4-9, you'll need to remap the editor shortcut, since Firefox has appropriated Ctrl-Shift-E for an internal function - I use Ctrl-Shift-Q.)
