Cool, I tried that only with

body .small {font-size: 10px;}

and that worked. Is this just a lazy solution? It seems like the only think that might pop up is if I do like the size of one module but I do of another. Can I than include line spacing in on that too? if so would I just add it like so?

body .small {font-size: 10px; line-height 15px;}

@strawberry-3.141
So I can pretty much remove the body writing that is in the .css file from the start?

@yo-less
Alright, so if the default says 70% and I have told it to go to 100% in the body of the custom.css file I did exactly what I did not want, I went bigger. That I can understand. Should I change the custom.css file from saying
body {
.small {
font-size: 10px;
}
}

to

{
.small {
font-size: 10px;
}
}

also if my modules are using % should I use % instead of px or any other of the .css variants? My thought on the theory is it shouldn’t matter but sometimes my theory is so very wrong.

Thank you for explaining things to me, I am very new to this coding concept. I should have paid more attention to how this all works when I was younger!

@yo-less I added

font-size: 1em to the custom.css file. When that didn’t work after some research I tried changing that down further. I than tried using %. When that didn’t work I removed that from the custom.css file and changed in the main.css file. I’m doing a test run on a 32inch tv and I’ve rotated it. It takes up the entire top 1/3 of the screen between the clock 30 day calendar and default weather.

I like the ratio of everything so I would prefer to change it all at once.

@strawberry-3.141 said in Screen Font is too big:

font-size: 1em

I did this and the font size did not change. I went down to .25em, I also tried to go to 50%. What would I be doing wrong?

Hello everybody,
I am new to the form and also very green to anything like this. I have known about the Raspberry Pi since it came out but never thought I would own one. Then I saw this project and said I had to have one… So I jumped in with both feet and than realized I didn’t know what I was doing at all! Installing Raspbian and getting my Pi up and running was pretty strait forward. I have updated the Pi and installed MM2 but now I’m confused. I do not understand the config file at all, not one bit. I have one other issue that might set me back as well, I am trying to do all of this through SSH and VNC.

My grand idea is to make this into a Magic Vanity for my wife which makes it hard to program all of this and keep it someone a secret as a surprise gift. (As of right now I only have one monitor/tv with HDMI) I would like the normal things to go into it (clock calendar weather) but I would also like to control something like Pandora and maybe Youtube through it. Maybe if I can get this all figured out I could see if I can figure out lighting control and the likes but for now I just want to be able to understand the config file… I’m sure this is better suited for the trouble shoot area but I figured I’m going to have a lot of questions so I better Introduce myself as well.

The build of everything is not a problem for me what I can’t quite wrap my head around is the coding. I did get the “Conquer the Command Line” book(?) from the Raspberry Pi foundation and things are starting to come back how to navigate but the hows and whys just don’t click.

Thank you in advance for an awesome group to bounce questions off of.
