New to hooks/ functions - would like to make nav font size bigger!

[jenny20k 0]

Hi there I am new to changing css and using php etc. I am trying to increase the font size of the navigation bar text a little. I'm sure it should be that hard to do but because everything is done inside the drag&drop pages, I can't find where the code is anywhere. I'm probably being really stupid but I've spent ages scouring every forum/ help video I can find and still can't work out how to do it. Any ideas? Thank you!

Hi Jennifer, To change the size of the navigation text you will need to add some custom CSS to style this that way you want. First I would suggest downloading firebug at http://getfirebug.com and use this find the CSS tag you will need to edit. Since you are new to this I will let you know that the tag you want to find is .main_nav ul li You can then add the CSS you want from the custom code settings inside of Platform. For a simple change in the size of the nav text use .main_nav ul li {font-size: 24px;} Many design changes can be done through the Platform settings but for deeper customization you will need to use CSS. Check out http://www.w3schools.com/Css/default.asp for more information on using CSS. Cheers, -Kyle

Thanks so much! That's worked fine - I was using firebug but didn't know how to identify the part of the code I needed. I'm using firebug to find out how to replace the images for twitter/ facebook/ rss feeds too but am coming unstuck. I'm presuming I need to add my own icons to my themes image folder first but Im not sure what custon code to change? Any ideas? Cheers! J

I can't believe there's no font size option in the Typo options. What a load of hassle to go through for something that even the most basic platforms, like Wordpress and the pretty much the rest of the software world provide as a baseline standard. I'm hoping the new update will have this additional 'feature'.
