How or where do I edit the Top of my Index page where it shows:

I would like to make the Font size a little bit bigger as some users don't know where to check for new messages. Plus maybe add a little color in it to catch the eye...

I'm using SMF v1.1.11 and the theme I am using is:
Helios Multi design by Bloc -> http://custom.simplemachines.org/themes/index.php?lemma=1

If anything else is needed, Please let me know what to include.  This is the Default theme..

Thanks,
Martinfin

Themes/helios_multi11final/style.css
Find:

Code Select Expand

/* Default font sizes: small (8pt), normal (10pt), and large (14pt). */
.smalltext
{
        font-size: 8pt;
        font-family: tahoma, helvetica, serif;
}Change 8 to something larger like 10 or so. That will of course anything tagged to that class. Another option if the above is too drastic is to edit the index.template.php and change the class to something like class="topthingamajig" and copy the .smalltext class as .topthingamajig and change 8pt to whatever.

I used the code you pasted to find and changed it to 10.. This is great Mashby, Appreciate the help. Now about the color?

I used paint to try and show you but it takes too long to mess with a pic I'll delete in a sec...lol but you get the idea of what I am wanting I hope.... Not a picture... But maybe bbcode or HTML???

Thanks Man,

Open index.template.php. Find:

Code Select Expand

echo '<td width="100%" valign="top" class="smalltext" style="font-family: verdana, arial, sans-serif;">
Replace:

Code Select Expand

echo '<td width="100%" valign="top" style="font-size:10px; color:lime; font-family: verdana, arial, sans-serif;">

Change the size and color by adjusting this: font-size:10px; color:lime;
