<![CDATA[NewsFeed - how to adjust the description text size?]]>Hello,

I would like to increase the text size for the Description text in the default NewsFeed module. I have checked the newsfeed.css file but there doesn’t seem to be a section for the Description text that I can add to my custom.css file to modify.

Regards,

Tom

The text size of the newsfeed description is controlled via the global CSS class .small which the template assigns to the element.
Defined in ~/MagicMirror/css/main.css:

.small { font-size: var(--font-size-small); }

If I see it right::

  • default/newsfeed/newsfeed.css does not contain a font-size for the description — only list and layout rules.
  • The description-specific class .newsfeed-desc does exist, but it does not set a font size.

If you want to change the description size independently of other .small elements , the cleanest approach would be an override in css/custom.css:

.newsfeed  .newsfeed-desc { font-size: your_desired_font_size_as_number)

(do not alter the global .small).

HTH.
Warm regards,
Ralf

My desired size was 35 in pixels, so ‘35px’.

This post can be marked as Solved.

Thank you.
