In your admin control panel, under Styles Admin click "management." Edit the theme you want and adjust the values for:
  • Font Size 1:
    Font Size 2:
    Font Size 3:

Every template has a default text size, somewhere in the template file is where you need to edit..

If you'd like to change text in the header or something, which should be smaller, try this out;

Open
- /templates/subSilver/overall_header.tpl

Find
< piece of text >

Replace with
<span class="gensmall"> piece of text </span>

Note
Replace the 'piece of text' with your own, and the file, with your own

For the posting part, you should try modifying your .css file.
Which is located at /templates/xxx/template.css
Replace 'xxx' and 'template.css' with the names of the template you use.

Hi Rowan,

OPEN
templates/subBlack/subBlack.css

FIND
.postbody { font-size : 12px; color: #FFFFCC;}

Change the font size to your preference. I think 11 will work well for you.

Good to see that you are doing well.

Hey m8. I changed it to 11 and its changed the size fine, but the reason it looks weird is because although the text size has changed, its as if the line size hasnt look:

Is there a way I can make it fit alliged in like that other site I showed you with the small text??

Also.. that changed the actuall text in a post.. but which part of the file do i edit so that when your at the posting.php page for typing up your message, how do i make that look small too?

Hiya Rowan,

Two things,
#1 - the text looks like size 8 or so, make the number smaller until you're happy.
#2 - the text isn't aligning properly because of the smileys in those pictures. The smileys have a fixed height and that moves the line down. Try writing without smileys and see what happens.

Good luck M8 !
