XCaliber Textbox font size

[Jaym]

hello there folks, I was wondering if it was at all possible to modify the size of text inside of a text box on the X Caliber RC4 theme?

An example of what I am talking about would be this post I am writing right now, the text inside this box is slightly larger than I would like it to be for my forum.

Not sure how clear this message was, so let me know if you need any clarification!

Thanks.

Yeah search for textarea in the index.css

Change the % in there

Code Select Expand


/* The font size of textareas should be just a little bit larger. */
textarea
{
font: 100%/130% verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;
}

Yep, that indeed

Hey guys, thanks for the quick response!

I tried altering the percentages just now, but it doesn't seem to be having any effect on the size of the text. Any glaringly obvious mistakes I could be making here?

For reference, here is the current status of it:

Code Select Expand

/* The font size of textareas should be just a little bit larger. */
textarea {
   color: #9F9F9F;
   background: #2B2B2B;
   border: 1px solid #040404;
   font: 100%/130% verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;
}

not sure why?
..you can try this bit and 'one should' change the size..

Code Select Expand


input, button, select, textarea {
font: 95%/115% verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;
color: #9F9F9F;
background: #2B2B2B;
border: 1px solid #040404;
padding: 2px;
}
/* Select elements look horrible with the extra padding, so leave them unpadded. */
select {
padding: 0;
}
/* Add some padding to the options instead. */
select option {
padding: 1px;
}
/* The font size of textareas should be just a little bit larger. */
textarea {
color: #9F9F9F;
background: #2B2B2B;
border: 1px solid #040404;
font: 130%/150% verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;
}


You can also try a different: font-family arial tahoma sans-serif;

Hmm, not sure what could be causing it. Changing the percentages doesn't seem to be having any effect on the size of the text when typing.

Found it!

In index.css there is this:

Code Select Expand


textarea {
font-size: 120%;


Change that to 100%
