Every now and then I notice questions about how to increase a menu font size for one of the Mozilla's applications, usually for a web browser. There are few different ways to do that. This is an example for SeaMonkey: - Close all the SeaMonkey's applications if some are open. - Click: Start -> File managers -> ROX-Filer file manager - In the ROX window right click -> Display -> Show Hidden (the check box should be enabled) - Click: .mozilla -> default -> 7oma673h.slt (this is a profile directory and could have a different name) -> chrome - If the userChrome.css file exists -> right click it -> choose the 'Open As Text' menu option - Move a cursor to the end of the edited userChrome.css file. - Press Enter to start a new line and type in your prefered menu font size setting like:
A menu font could be set by typing in:
Usually it is recommended Tahoma, but I prefer Arial. - Press Enter to start a new line and save the file. Start SeaMonkey and check the result. PS: If the 'chrome' directory does not exists then: - in the ROX window right click -> New -> Directory -> at the end of the path in a text field type in:
If the userChrome.css file does not exists then: - in the ROX window right click -> New -> Blank file -> at the end of the path in a text field type in:
- in the newly created file type in your prefered font settings like:
W a r n i n g The font size settings must be placed outside of the comment signs /* (the start of the comment sign) and */ (the end of the comment sign). This is a comment example:
This are the paths of the 'chrome' directory of the Mozilla's applications in different Puppy versions on my computer: Mozilla - /root/.mozilla/default/7oma673h.slt/chrome SeaMonkey - /root/.mozilla/default/1i1jciei.slt/chrome Firefox - /root/.mozilla/firefox/zezfkl57.default/chrome Thunderbird - /root/.thunderbird/hkivshw5.default/chrome Sunbird - /root/.mozilla/sunbird/42r03oir.default/chrome Last edited by Leon on Thu 03 Dec 2009, 12:05; edited 5 times in total |

Thanks, Leon. That should be very useful. Is there a way to make Mozilla use a global font setting for Puppy? Several users with poor eyesight have asked how to make all the fonts in Puppy bigger. Here's another post from a thread that might be relevant. |

Yes, that would be nice.
Not as I know. 
- However, Mozilla or SeaMonkey have one common profile with stored settings for browser, e-mail client and HTML editor. Other Mozilla's applications have its own profiles. - I also noticed that good readability depends very mutch from fonts. Arial or Tahoma are good for menus and Verdana for text contents. Here are my font settings for Mozilla: Edit -> Preferences -> Appearance -> Fonts Proportional: Sans Serif, Size:14 Serif: Verdana Sans-serif: Verdana Cursive: Times New Roman Fantasy: Verdana Monospace: Courier New 14 Minimum font size: 14 Allow documents to use other fonts: checked Display resolution: 72 dpi
- Only for some fonts: Start -> Control Panel -> Set global font size - Some other ways of how to get crisp and clear font display in Puppy: http://www.murga.org/~puppy/viewtopic.php?t=4437 |

Not sure if this applies to Firefox too (where I get small fonts) but have put the info here: http://puppylinux.org/wikka/FontResizeFirefox _________________ Puppy Raspup 8.2 Final

This is the path to Firefox user configuration file on my computer: root/.mozilla/firefox/zezfkl57.default/chrome/userChrome.ss 'zezfkl57.default' directory could have a different name.
Fine. Thank you. |
