Help with font size please.

[soqueen]

Hi there! I am building a triple monitor/pi MM system that will go on my living room wall as a family command center. I have it almost entirely up and running (just building the frame now) but when I put it up on the wall, the font is small and this causes us not to be able to read it. Is there a way to set a universally larger font (perhaps in the config.js file) so that everything is larger and we can see it from the middle of the room?

I have tried adding a custom font size into the magicmirror custom.css - nothing changed.
I then went into each css file for each module that I wanted to be larger and if it had a font status, i changed it to be 100% (just to see if it worked) and nothing… and -yes, i rebooted the MM after each change. nothing… :( (also - I am running these on 21" monitors)

Ah! Ok - sorry for a whole thread… I fixed my own problem by modifying the main.css file instead. :)

So which aspects did you change? I plan on doing a monitor at the top of a full-body length mirror.

I want the text to be smaller than it currently is. Which values should I change?

[soqueen]

:) I changed the main.css file. I can tell you what I did to make the font way bigger…

I changed font size (currently says 2em)
and line-height (currently 1.5em)

and then under the .xsmall .small, etc I upped each value by 5

If you want to go smaller - then try making each of those values smaller…

Were you able to remove the gaps along the border?

I disabled overscan so it fits to the entire screen, but I still seem to have margins along the side and cannot figure out where to change that. I’ve modified (what I thought) was the proper values but it doesn’t seem to resolve it.

@ALombardi custom.css

body {
    margin: 0px;
    width: 100%;
    height: 100%;
}
