Have a look at the index.css file, in the theme's "css" directory.

It's quite well commented-out. So, you should be able to figure-out which part you want.

Keep a copy of the original file, as a backup. Then, you can fiddle around to your heart's content.

i fiddled with everything labeled text size and nothing worked, do you not what it is exactly im looking for?

You could try using your browsers development tools to pinpoint exactly where the font size is being set (in a css file, eg)


In my theme, the menu text size is governed by css entry "#navi li a" but yours might be different

Get and use Firefoxes firebug, it will highlight margins and padding and tell you if a style is in-line or it will tell you the file location, name and line number of the style. I don't see how people can style without it.
I think chrome does the same thing without a plug-in. I'm just used to firebug and I like it.

Is this for your mikedijital.us website?

If so, make the following change to your index.css file:

Code (find) Select Expand


.dropmenu li a.firstlevel span.firstlevel
{
display: block;
position: relative;
left: -5px;
padding-left: 5px;
height: 22px;
line-height: 19px;
}

Code (Replace) Select Expand

.dropmenu li a.firstlevel span.firstlevel
{
display: block;
position: relative;
left: -5px;
padding-left: 5px;
height: 22px;
line-height: 19px;
font-size: 1.3em;
}

Around line 1156. Adjust the new line "font-size: 1.3em;" accordingly.
