Re: [xwiki-users] Changing Global Text Style Settings

[Jesse Bright]

For the sake of completeness I thought I would report back that I did end up 
editing the color theme to make my modifications except for the font size. All 
the edits to the color theme worked great but for some reason changing the base 
font size grossly enlarges the header size. Making this same change in the 
variables.less file works as intended by enlarging text but leaving the other 
element sizes alone.

Regards,

Jesse

Thanks for the idea. Using Chrome's inspect element to look at the CSS and a 
little grepping in the skins folder; I found the file I was looking for here:

/usr/lib/xwiki/skins/flamingo/less/bootstrap/variables.less

Within this file you can easily update the preferred fonts and size, including 
switching between sarif and sans-sarif font styles. I edited the file directly 
but I suppose good form would be to use the skin override options to make the 
change stick after an upgrade. Also I had to restart the tomcat server to get 
the LESS to rebuild, though as I recall there is a more sophisticated way to 
make that happen while the server is up.

Thanks again for your help!

Regards,

Jesse

Re: [xwiki-users] Changing Global Text Style Settings

[Jesse Bright]

Yes, I did.  Unfortunately this appears to edit the entire wiki, as changes to 
the size settings affect the header, etc. severely impacting the appearance of 
the overall wiki such that I wonder how it could be useful. Adjusting the color 
here does work but unfortunately color is not one of the properties I want to 
alter.

I am still looking for an easier method to accomplish this change. In previous 
versions of xwiki it appeared there were CSS files dedicated to each font style 
which seemed relatively straight forward to edit or add new styles. Now that 
xwiki uses LESS I don’t see equivalent files. Any additional advice is welcome.

Regards,

Jesse

Have you tried editing the color theme? (or creating a new color theme).
The color theme editor has a Typography section

.

Hope this helps,
Marius

Hello,

You can use a stylesheetextension object + CSS instruction (and firebug to 
identify id/class elements to modify)

 I have been looking around for this
 but coming up blank. Can anyone point me in the right
 direction as to how you change the default text styles? I am
 just looking to tweak the header and body font sizes and
 font family across the entire wiki. I don’t want to change
 the text for other elements like the drawer, buttons, panels
 etc.
 
 Thanks for any information that you can provide.
 
 regards,
 
 Jesse
