Font size manipulation in Month view

I was looking for a way to increase the font size in iCal, and realised that as yet nobody at this forum has come up with a way to do it in OS X.
However, since I just saw with my own eyes the different font sizes in iCal in two different user accounts on my MacBook, a bit of detective work led to the following discovery which I hope may prove helpful:
Download and install the wonderful and free utility TinkerTool which will unlock all sorts of possibilities on your Mac. (Mr. Bresink recommends installing it in your Applications/Utilities folder.)
By increasing font sizes in TinkerTool, I find that both the list of calendar types (left column) and the date & appointment time in the Information panel (right column) become much more legible. Alas the entries in the main Calendar itself as well as in the Notes in the Information panel still make me squint... (Please forgive if I'm not using the right English terms for 'calendar types', 'information panel' or 'notes' as my OS X is in French...)
Perhaps some of you good folks could play around with TinkerTool and come up with a 'real' solution?! if so, please post back!

I would strip this site back to basics by removing all font sizes in your CSS.
Then avoid %.
Re-build font sizes just using px.
Don't mix units (ems, % etc) until you have a consistent baseline and reason for doing so..
Pt is solid and reliable on paper. Px is solid and reliable on screen.

  • Font size difference between Dreamweaver, view in Safari and on friend's PC

    In Dreamweaver CS3, I have a table with two cells containing type. In order to get the type to not appear too large, I need to size the type down to 6pt size on screen in Dreamweaver, then it appears like about 10pt normal size text in my Safari browser on a Mac and then it appears too small, but readable and larger than what I am seeing in Dreamweaver on a friend's PC through AOL. This mystifies me as it is only happening on this one page. When I leave the paragraph text at normal size in this table cell it becomes way too large when viewed in the Safari browser, so what I am doing is sizing it down to 40% (miniscule) in dreamweaver so it will come up in the browser as normal paragraph text size.
    Never had this happen before. Any Ideas?
    TIA,
    Ken

  • REM Font Sizes Enlarged in Design View

    I've purchased DW CC, v 13.2 Build 6471.  Fonts in px and em display correctly in Design view and Live Mode. However, font sizes in rem, while rendered correctly in live mode, appear to be multiplied by a factor of 10 in regular Design view.  Here is a basic code example with three text sizes:
    Here's what Live View renders:
    But, this is what Design View shows:
    Note that the html base font is set to 100%.  Am I missing something else here?  Is anyone able to duplicate this problem?
    Regards, Chris Niestepski

    Thank you, Subhadeep!  Whenever I'm not imagining things, that's good news!
    Now, two questions:
    1) Should this be considered a "bug" in DW fork? 
    I believe so.  The fork appears to be multiplying the rem value by a factor of 10.  This throws the dimensions and alignment so much as to make Design view useless when using rem.
    2) I'm not the first to use rem with DW.  What are users using as a work-around?
    If the user unchecks View > Display Styles, that largly goes against the purpose of Design View.
    The user can also do this in the CSS:
    font-size: 1rem;
    font-size: 1px; /* Comment for Upload */ OR
    font-size: 1rem;
    font-size: 1em; /* Comment for Upload */
    This lets you work while in DW but doubles the work required, especially for elastic layouts.  And the idea of rem was so the user didn't have to do so many math calculations and worry about inhereitance as with em.
    Any ideas?

  • Font size in email folder view

    I'm hoping that someone out there has figured out the solution to this problem. I have an IMAP email account synced to my iPhone - and I have my emails organised into folders, which are also synced across.
    That's all great, but I find that I can only read part of the folder names once I get one or two levels down the folder tree. Is there anyway to decrease the font size in the email folder view so the whole folder names can be seen? If not, anyone have any other bright ideas for a workaround?
    Thanks, guys!

    Well, when it is happening it happens to all emails in the email app. The behavior is very strange. Again, it's as if all the emails are zoomed out. The only way to fix it that I can see is to hold the power button down and reboot the phone. When it comes back up it's normal....for awhile. I haven't figured out what triggers the behavior.

    This should NOT work!  The UI elements should safe encode all input values - thereby eliminating the value of any HTML tags. If you system isn't doing this already then it is a bug and if you rely on such a thing it will stop working at some point in the future.
    You are basically restricted to different values available via the design parameter.  The overall font sizes come from the underlying themes and the client applications (browser or NetWeaver Business Client) that host the Web Dynpro Application.  Therefore no direct specification of the font size is possible in order to stay within the controls of theme.  If you don't like any of the designs available, you might consider altering the Portal Theme you are using - but that is a rather drastic approach.

  • How do you change the font size under the event and iphoto view photos?

    I would like to change the font size in iPhoto under the photos that appear in the Events view and in the Photos view. I was told by a tech at Apple that it cannot be done because it is built into the software. What you see is what you get. That seems unusual because the font size in the Photo view is smaller than that in the Events view. The Font control that exists in File/Edit are for fonts used when you open a photo and add your own captionI and have nothing to do with the various views. Does anyone know a way to do this?   Thanks

    I'm afraid it really is WYSIWYG. It can't be changed.  You can send a feature request to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html.

  • Tree view control font size

    Hello,
    (LabVIEW 8.0): I have found that the font size of the tree view items can be set at design time from the drop down list on the menu bar.  However, is it possible to make each "level" (i.e. parent = a level, child = different level, grandchild = still another level) have a different font size to clearly differentiate one level from the next?
    Thanks,
    Chris

  • How do I change font size from points into pixels?

    I used to be able to set font size in points but CS 6 has removed this? Please dont say that points = pixels. They do not. See for yourself.  A photoshop doc and an Indesign doc have the same pixel size. A 20 point character "A" in InDesign, will be larger than a 20 pixel character "A" in photoshop. This creates hours of extra work when translating text heavy InDesign documents into Photoshop PSDs. Is there any workaround? Help!

    Ok, I know why you dont understand my question. I should have said, that points in InDesign do not equal pixels in HTML  (and I should have left Photoshop out of it). 
    My problem is going directly from InDesign to HTML CSS code. I used to be able to look at the type in my layout sketch in InDesign, select pixels in the units preferences and (assuming I am using the same webfont thanks to google fonts and the @fontface style) the font size would match exactly when I view the webpage in a browser. But now, when I try to code my webpage fonts in pixels, using the value from InDesign's points, fonts sizes dont match when viewed in borwser. This may seem like I am splitting hairs to you but it makes a big difference if I can just look at my InDesign sketch and see the excact size of the type without having to export a tracing/guide image and try to match visually. It just worked when I could see font size in pixles in InDesign in CS 5.5 but does not work in CS 6.
    Try a test: make a div in webpage with same pixel size as an InDeisgn doc. Use a defualt font like helvetic that is aval. to both InDesign and your browser. A 20 point word will not match a 20 pixel word in the same font.
    Also: I believe I rulled out any font replacment issues. For my designes, I am using the same font in both the InDesign doc and webpage code. I am using google fonts (donloaded for indesign and "link href" in head of code on webpage and/or using the @fontface style).

  • How to change the font size of text element?

    Hi Experts,
    The font size shows in the view is too small, is there any way to make it bigger?
    Thanks for your time!
    Anna

    Hi Anna,
    depending on the UI element there are a range of ways. (and I'm sure people will post plenty of answers to tell you how).
    However, if generically the fonts in you portal/wd applications are too small, you should consider changing your theme so as to have larger texts. Otherwise you will either need to customise all your applications, or you will get quite a lot of inconsistency of presentation between your various WDA applications.
    Do a search on "themes for Web Dynpro ABAP" and you'll find loads of resources.
    Hope this helps,
    Cheers,
    Chris

  • Is there a way to change font size in incoming email messages?

    In the Mail preferences I see options for changing fonts and sizes for composing email, but is there a way to control incoming font sizes?
    Some emails for some reason show up in very tiny fonts when they come into my Mail program
    thanks
    nick

    Hello Nick,
    Thank you for the question.  You can update the font settings in the Preferences for Mail.  By going to Mail>Preferences>Fonts & Colors, you can update the Message list font and the Message font for easier viewing.  The Messages font will only change to the font you select if the sender does not have specific formatting for the text in their email:
    Option
    Description
    Message list font
    The font and font size for viewing the list of messages (in classic layout only). Click Select to use a different font.
    Message font
    The font and font size for writing and viewing messages. Click Select to use a different font.
    If the sender used a specific font for a message, that font is used when viewing the message.

  • Change font size? - NEED ANSWER

    I've scanned this discussion and see many people asking the same question but no answers:
    Is it possible to change the displayed font size in the calendar view?
    If it simply isn't possible please be kind enough to tell us.
    Thank you.

    I know of no way to change the font size in iCal on-screen. You can change the font size on printed calendars from iCal. On the right hand side of the print screen there is a small pull down menu labeled "Text Size".
    Changing the color key for a calendar, thus changing the color of that calendars events in the calendar might make it easier to read.
    You can submit feedback to Apple for many of their applications. (I don't know if they pay attention to this feedback, but at least they provide a mechanism for sending them our opinions). Select "Provide iCal Feedback..." in the iCal menu.
    Apple has made minor improvements to iCal over the last 4 years, but I feel like it is due for some feature enhancements. This would be first on my list. Perhaps if they get enough feedback they will make some good changes.
