How to change the default style/font?

[roseknight]

Hi there
Thank you for your support.
I like to know how to change the default style, espeically the font. The default font size is the medium (1.0em) now. How to change it to the large one?

Thanks again.
Jun

Hi Jun,

Take a look at the following doc: http://pkp.sfu.ca/files/docs/customizingojs/index.html. In a nutshell, you'll have to take a look at styles/common.css, find the font rules, create a new style sheet to override these rules, and upload it from Journal Setup Step 5.

Cheers,
James

Hi James,

I have the same issue with font size. I looked at a number of style sheet in styles/ folder. The only font size I was able to find and change is the nav bar. I can't find other elements circled in red on the image attached. Any hints as to where to locate these elements will be greatly appreciated.

By the way, I use classic green theme. I would like to increase the default font size of Journal Management interface especially the sub-titles and contents but don't know where to locate them.

Thank you very much.

I just noticed this thread is in the ocs forum. I apologize. My questions are related OJS 2.3.6. But I think they are pretty much similar in structure.

Hi Paul,

No worries. You may find a tool such as Firebug very useful in discovering what elements are called/classed as, and where and how they are styled. Firebug includes a document inspector tool -- you'll be able to hover over/click any element on a web page, and it'll tell you what the element is called or classified as; the css rules applied to it; and from which file(s) the rules are applied from.

Cheers,
James
