pagiiiingHi Dan, I just realized there is a third area I need to change the font and size, and that is in a reply to an email like this mailing list generated one. My text seems to inherit the font you have set, which I believe is part of the compact settings.
I played with those settings, and have extensively in the past. I never knew the specific name. Thanks for pointing me in that direction, So far, I know the css changes for each of compact, cozy, and comfortable. Luckily I am a selfish jerk and will only care about the css for cozy as that is the one I use :) But changes to the file would be a simple copy and past of some clash names. I see a note on googles settings page which takes me to info about the themes, stating that most were made internally, and some by other design firms. I wonder if they sen in flat mockups or were given working html source files to create the deign. If the later, then it would be more likely that I can create my own theme, or there could even be a thriving third party theme development niche that I am unaware of. I have a feeling that thriving comity is the Greasemonkey scriptures that seem to be able to make Fx and Chrome bend to their inner will. Safari should certainly allow such injection style changes via a default.write type of enabler command. If anyone has delved a little into the css, theme hacking, theme development, I would appreciate it if you could let me know. Ideally the Cozy Theme would be my target test theme, and then sure, why not, apply those changes to the other two themes and we can have a website that spits out the relevant css file where you pick the font, size, background color, add your logo, and all sorts of annoying things people do to their email. One thing we could do is add a permanent legal disclaimer, about a 500 word long paragraph should do. Maybe an unsubscribe link so small only a retina display could render it; barely — and then use that as a validator, rather than unsubscribing. Ayup, I think this would be something everyone would want. Bright red emails, yellow text, legal disclaimers, the whole 9. And the cool part, only the sender see's the colors and sized, the recipient, those fall to defaults. Thanks to any helpers out there on this one. I will do some research today and try to post back. I only have today to put time into this. -- Scott On Thu, Apr 19, 2012 at 8:18 AM, dan <[email protected]> wrote: > Can't you do this from within Gmail now with the settings item? > > On Thursday, April 19, 2012 3:58:32 AM UTC-5, Scott wrote: >> >> Hello Mailplaners, happy flying, >> >> I have created a custom css file as follows... >> >> /* Change font size to large for text area where you type >> Also change line height to be a bit more reable >> >> - The proginal selector from google was td, .lw-avf, which changes ALL >> the fonts, not just the text area, removing the "td" scope seemed to >> solve that problem. >> td, .lw-avf { >> font: 1em/1.25em Consolas, Monaco, "DejaVu Sans Mono", >> monospace; >> } >> */ >> >> .lw-avf { >> font: 1em/1.5em Consolas, Monaco, "DejaVu Sans Mono", monospace; >> } >> >> >> What is strange about this, is desirable results happen from a MP window >> of "New Separate", however a "New" window, or window within the MP window >> manager defaults back to the normal font set of MP.
