Increase font-size for the address-fields

Post by tapetv »

Hi all,

I managed to improve the font-sizes with the editing of the

Code: Select all

layout.css.devPixelsPerPx
rule, but the size of the 'From', 'To' and 'Subject' fields still are really small:

Any suggestions where to alter that?

Thanks!!

Have you already tried modifying view -> font size and view -> density too?

You could also try in tools -> settings -> general -> language & appearance -> advanced setting a minimum font size and unchecking "allow messages to use other fonts" for both "Latin" and "Other Writing Systems"

I cannot find that in the Config Editor? Only mail.uidensity, but that only alters the distance between objects, so it seems

Nope, didn't do a thing. Really weird that only those fields (see screenshot) are affected... Using TB 102.1.1 btw.

View > Font Size > Increase Font Size from the Menu bar works for all panes including the message header.

View > Font Size from the Menu button allows the user to set a certain font size in pixels.

Selecting More > Customize in the message header allows the user to set a larger Subject.

I know that: it's only the addresses and subject itself that are small: see the screenshot above.

I use TB 60.9.1 and this works for me to style the header view and compose message items you are asking about. You would need to edit this for the colors, font styles, and font sizes you desire. This code is part of my userChrome.css file.

Code: Select all

#addresses-box #identityLabel, #subjectLabel {
    color: #12298E !important;
    font-size: 14px !important;
    font-family: 'Archivo Narrow' !important;
}

#msgheaderstoolbar-box {
    font-size: 14px !important;
    font-family: 'Archivo Narrow' !important;
}

#subject-box #msgSubject {
    color: #000000 !important;
    font-size: 14px !important;
    font-family: 'Archivo Narrow' !important;
}
You might also need to add this after the above code.

Code: Select all

vbox {
    font-family: 'Archivo Narrow' !important;
}

hbox {
    font-family: 'Archivo Narrow' !important;
}
