Hi everyone! 🙂

I need to enlarge the font size of the CRM (globally). How do I do this?

Lastly, when i increase the font size, will further updates overwrite my change? Or will this be done via a “child” CSS file?

Kelley, to customize SpiceCRM theme, create a custom/themes/SpiceTheme folder.  
Use same structure as in themes/SpiceTheme  
You will need a css/app.css : that’s the stylesheet to modify.  
and tpls/\_head.tpl + tpls/header.tpl to tell which template and which css file to load.  
This way your modifications will not be overwritten by any update.  
Think of doing a repair/rebuild to have the pages rebuilt with your changes

Thanks Val! I’m hoping that you can tell me there’s just ONE line I need  
to modify for the global change. My luck there are hundreds of them… ☹

Kelley, it’s a whole theme and t is complexe. I can’t tell you exactly which values to modify. Look for font-size property within the file and try out.
