Font size of admin area so small

Is there a way (like editing the php or html or whatever) to change the font size of the admin choices in the administartion area. This is a real issue as a user has had their eyesight damaged by LASIK and can’t read that small a font.

thanks.

Yes. The font sizes are controlled in the admin CSS files. The next Tech Preview should also be a bit more readible and easily modified, too.

Thanks!

What is the exact name of the CSS file? Since the admin area uses frames, I couldn’t figure the CSS name. When I tried
find -iname *.css
from an SSH session, but I got back a lot of CSS file names. And which statement in the CSS has the font setting?

thanks,
Kurt

Try looking in /manager/media/style ...

Depending on the theme you’re running it will either be style.css or /MODx/style.css

Actually, it looks like ( from examing /manager/frames/2.php) that the CSS file used is MODX/navbar.css. But even after I alter the font-size
a {
/*snip*/
font-size 12px;/*9px;*/
}
, and reload the admin page, it looks the same. In fact, I tried to change the style of the menu headers by turning off the bolding, just to see if I could get something to change, and that did not take effect either.

Any idea as to why?

thanks.

I’ll have to look into this later for you, as I don’t recall off the top of my head which one it is. make sure you’re editing the styles for the manager style you’ve got set too... I’ve made that goof before!

Are you using Firefox? If you do, there’s a very useful extention called ’Web developer’ that helps a lot when playing with css:

And if you don’t use Firefox this might be a reason to start using it. lol. One thing the extension can do is edit the current css on the page. So you see if you’re dealing with the right css file

All I can tell you is that 2.php is the correct file to be editing. Unfortunately, I have modded the snot out of the one I am working in, so I can’t even begin to tell you what the problem might be.

Once I made sure to delete my browser’s cache before refreshing, changes to navbar, like increasing the font-size for anchors, were successful.
