I am running 2.0.11 and woukd like to see the post/save & preview button be made larger by being longer.

this would bring it in line with the Message creation post.

simply put, the post/save button should be bigger -- mobile device users will thank you.

It's too small.

You can do this in your theme's css

Look for

.buttonlist ul li a span
{
background: url(../images/theme/menu_gfx.png) no-repeat 100% -60px;
display: block;
height: 19px;
line-height: 19px;
padding: 0 8px 0 0;
}

replace with:

.buttonlist ul li a span
{
background: url(../images/theme/menu_gfx.png) no-repeat 100% -60px;
display: block;
height: 19px;
line-height: 19px;
font-size: 15pt;
padding: 0 8px 0 0;
}

That font-size: 15pt; can be changed to whatever size pt. you think will work.

You may have to make some other changes in the "/* Styles for the standard button lists." area to make everything fit neatly, but it's a start and will make the buttons larger.

That change would take care of the "new topic" and those type of buttons. If you are trying to increase the size of the Post and Preview tabs, that can be done here-

Find:
/* Buttons should be styled a bit differently, in order to make them look more button'ish. */
.button_submit, .button_reset
{
background: #cde7ff url(../images/theme/submit_bg.png) no-repeat;
border: 1px solid #aaa;
cursor: pointer;
font-weight: normal;
}

Replace with:
/* Buttons should be styled a bit differently, in order to make them look more button'ish. */
.button_submit, .button_reset
{
background: #cde7ff url(../images/theme/submit_bg.png) no-repeat;
border: 1px solid #aaa;
cursor: pointer;
font-size: 14pt;
font-weight: normal;
}

However, since this is in feature requests...   That is unlikely to happen with 2.0.x and 2.1 alreayd has a much cleaner responsive theme

I can wait until 2.1 and if not then I'll made your code change.

thank you !
