menu font too small

[bibo12]

hi there!

for my eyes menu fonts are too small. in Mozilla 3.xx I resolve that problem with adding
this in userChrome.css

menubar > menu,menupopup > menu, menupopup > menuitem,
* {
font-size: 9pt !important;
font-family: Copperplate Gothic Bold !important;
}

but on Mozilla 4 there is no help with that.... so what to do to increase font in menus

thanks in advance

The description of the Theme Font and Size Changer extension suggests it might do the job without the need to change the registry:

Different from add-ons that enlarge and reduce text on web pages Theme Font and Size Changer changes the font size and font family in all windows, menus, toolbars etc within Firefox itself.

Bibo, your code works (with Aurora ~ Fx 5) when it is put into a Stylish sheet. You can consider using the Stylish add-on and you'll get more help at the forum here: http://userstyles.org/

This is what I tried:

Code: Select all

@namespace xul url(http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul);
menubar > menu,menupopup > menu, menupopup > menuitem {
font-size: 15pt !important;
font-family: Verdana !important;
}

Note that I didn't include the "*".

And I got the code I posted above to work in Fx 4.0.1 using plain userChrome.css. So installing the Stylish add-on may not be needed if you're not a compulsive tweaker.

In edit: And thank you for the code I'm going to use a bit of it since I too would prefer a slightly larger font than the "default".

@bibo12,

This is what I'm using now:

Code: Select all

@namespace url(http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul);
*[disabled = "true"] {color: #222!important}

menubar, menu, menupopup, menuitem {-moz-appearance: none !important; font-size: 11pt !important; font-family: Verdana !important; color: #000 !important; background: #555 !important; border: 3px solid #555 !important; border-radius: 6px !important }

* .menu-iconic-left {display: none !important}

I got this from somebody long ago and it still works fine in FF4.... just basic stuff for me.

Code: Select all

/* Global UI font for ALL menus-options and dropdown menus       */
    * { font-size: 13pt !important;  font-family: Verdana !important; }

Thank you so much for these! Just installed Firefox 4 and couldn't read any mensu or ULRs because of the text size. Downloaded Stylish, and used the code from dfoulkes (changing it to 12 pt Calibri). Will try the other code too to see if it works any different. Now I can use FF again -- this is something FF should have built in. Thanks again!!!

You're Welcome!

The easiest way to find a good font is to open Notepad. Enter any text and then select Format/Font.

In the Font dialog box touch the font with the pointer then use the up/down arrows to find a good clean font. It displays examples of text in the preview window. You can cut and paste the name to avoid any spelling errors.

Remember in CSS any strings with spaces (some font names) must be quoted. Bibo - your original post may require quotes around the font family name.

Personally I like Tahoma - it is clean and very easy to read. 15pt Tahoma is very close to your op font family and size.

Sorry...I just go down the list of threads. Sorry for reopening.
