[SOLVED] where to change the size of the font, and the color on the titles
 
I am using 3.4.5
new to this theme so please bear with me.:confused:

i can't find where to change the size of the font, and the color on the titles of
each page.
also the size of the font in the widgets (side bars) is way too big.
where do i change that also.

and where can i change the font and size for the whole content of the blog text/articles.

this is the site in question
http://www.bestbirthcontrol.org

Thanks:)

In what options of the theme have you TRIED already?

dirtroad Apr 6, 2010 09:48 AM

I have tried ( by trial and error)all tabs of:
"Overall Styling & config."
"Header Area"

and looked at other settings that might pertain to font size,style etc.
also checked the "widgets" setting as the font in that column is very large

any direction would be helpful

ATO->Style POSTS & PAGES->HEADLINE Box: TEXT and HEADLINE Box: Links and HEADLINE Box: Links: Hover

dirtroad Apr 6, 2010 01:47 PM

ok i got to the correct settings. but i don't see anywhere to adjust the size/ font etc what exactly would i put in the blank areas?
and don't see any where to "change font size'?

is this theme meant for folks what have a good grasp of html and coding?
as the terminology is under the assumption that we all understand..
maybe that is why there are so many questions and redundant at that.
i can also detect your frustration.:-)

Yes you have to know some CSS because that is what you are doing , changing CSS. So them more about CSS you know, the better you will be able to change things to the way you want them.

There is an invaluable web site I use, all the time, to get CSS syntax: http://www.w3schools.com/css
you can ever play with examples and make changes on the fly.

yes i saw your recommend this in a thread and have bookmarked the site..
but can you , or anyone answer my original question?
as for now i have headlines that are very large.
thanks

YES i found all that . but i don't know what code (?) to put in the empty boxes to make the changes I seek.
thankx for your ongoing help though sorry if i don't understand.

juggledad Apr 6, 2010 05:21 PM

this is why I sent you to w3school, there is a whole section on Styling fonts, the family, size, style. And each section has a area to play with. You will just need the stuff inside the {}'s

dirtroad Apr 6, 2010 08:42 PM

ok so i played around with it, at the school. copied and pasted, in ot the boxes like you saaid , with the font style i wanted between {} uploaded refreshed.. and no change..
did not see a place for font size.
i am ready to hire someone to get this theme the way i want.. and just move on.:-)

Hi dirtroad,

I am newbie and building my first site on these theme. I am been working on it for last 7 to 10 days and to be honest still learning. The guys who have gave you the answer are all correct but only thing is they have given the outline and the rest is for you to find.

But i think as i am also new to it , i can understand what you mean, i will try my best to clarify, hope this may help you.

Regarding your question "Where i can change the size of the titles on this site"

if you are talking of your blog titles ie "WORKOUT HEADPHONES" then u can change it from the following,

go to ATO>Style and Edit Header area> Blog title

In the blog title box you will see the font size which is in percentage 240% default, you can increase it or decrease it for example 300% or 200%.
This is the percentage base on the font size that is there in following option
ATO>body text and links>body style

in there you can see font size 0.8em , over here also you can increase it on decrease it, this size is for the text or your article. Blog title font size is related to the body style font size.

If want to change the font size of your side bar,ie"Recent Posts"
i think you have to go to the followin option and change
>Sidebars & Widgets>style widgets>widgets title
in the widgets title it should be> font-size: 1.4em; you can change 1.4em, increase it or decrease it.

If you want to change the font size of you artcle headline for example "What Are The Best Noise Cancelling Headphones" then go to following option
>Various Content Items>add html/css inserts>
you can copy the following css in the empty box

h1 {font-size: 20pt;}
h2 {font-size: 16pt;}
h3 {font-size: 14pt;}

your header1 font size will be 20pt you can increase it or decrease it. similarly for h2 and h3 if your are using it or just delete it.

hope this help.

lmilesw Apr 7, 2010 08:31 PM

I just made them after you asked about how to set the font size. I figured a video might be the best way to explain things.
