Thanks Michael. The CSS info is more detailed than what I had. Initially it did not help but I noticed the cyan color appeared on the menu bar. Hence I increased font sizes to 25 and 30 and it made a difference. However various places still have the small fonts; e.g. dialog windows for say, configuring an email account, etc. This will require some fine tuning... Later, -- Valmor
