Hi everybody, on my forum www.hawkfriend.com the average age it’s…. More or less 60 y.o .
Lots of difficulties in reading small characters.
Is there a (simple) way to increase the default font size?
Actually I’m using the default theme Be-social on Elkarte 1.1.9 .
Thanks
There are two ways to increase the base font size.
In your custom_BeSocialHawkfriend.css you can do one of the following:
First the line font: 90%/130% Helvetica, Arial, "Nimbus Sans L", sans-serif; is in the body tag which is fine. That 90% means all fonts and children of the body tag (which is about everything) will be font-size: 90%; of the base font, or in this case .9*16px = 14.4px Change that 90 to 95 for a 15.2px base font or 100% for a 16px font.
Many other areas fonts will be relative to the base but some are hard coded with a font-size: attribute, those would have to individuality addressed.
The other way would be to add a font-size: 17px; to the html section of that style sheet. This would then be .9*17=15.3px font size. There currently is no font size defined in the html section, so its just a default 16px.
:smiley: Many thanks Spuds !!
One other item. When the font gets larger the lines may look to close together. If so increase the 150%, thats the line spacing, to 180% etc. OR add line-spacing: 1.8; to the html section.
