Where can I adjust the font size of top tool-bar

Hi folks,

slamd64
Firefox

Pls advise where can I increase the font size on the top toolbar? I have been looking around on the preferences and could not figure out a solution. There I can increase the font size on the body. TIA

I believe the font for the toolbars is tied to gtk+, so you might have to change it in there.

Usually make or edit the file '~/.gtkrc-2.0' as follows

Code:

gtk-font-name = "Lucida Sans 14"

Put in whatever font you want, of course. (this is from my .gtkrc-2.0)

or search google for more:

Can't find .gtkrc-2.0

# nano /root/.kde/share/config/gtkrc
# nano /home/satimis/.kde/share/config/gtkrc
No such item "gtk-font-name" found.

I recall on KDE desktop clicking:
KStart --> Settings --> Internet & Network --> Network Settings

started "Configure - KDE Control Modules" and "Unsupported Platform-KDE Control" windows simultaneously.

On "Unsupported Platform-KDE Control" I can't find "slamd64-11.0", only slackware-10.0.0/10.1.0 etc. there.

I suppose slamd64-11.0 is not supported by KDE

Oh, I forgot ... this guy's a troll. Gotta write his name down ...

Nah, I found the ignore list.

So just create a ~/.gtkrc-2.0 ie a .gtkrc-2.0 in your home directory

Code:

touch ~/.gtkrc-2.0

Open the file in your favourite text editor and insert the text (adjusting font size as needed), save it and restart XWindows.

performed following steps

$ touch ~/.gtkrc-2.0
$ nano ~/.gtkrc-2.0
copied "gtk-font-name = "Lucida Sans 14" on it.

Restarted X and evoked Firefox. Font size increased.

Repeated the same steps as root.

Problem solved. Tks again.
