Add option to change font size

Fantastic mod, but couldn't agree more with the first post here. (I wouldn't mind also having the ability to change the colours :))

edit......

Of course if my brain hadn't recently been turned to marshmallow, I would have realised that the easiest way to handle both of the above statements is to modified the relevant stylesheet, as per the instructions in the module's installation instructions:

* To override the font size, add the following line to your theme's stylesheet:

body #admin-menu { font-size: 10px; }

There are many issue regarding font size in this module...peraphs is actually small! I use custom 10px css customization too, but a better approach trough the admin interface would be more confortable, overall for beginner drupal users.
It would be great have just a checkbox with "Bigger font" option.
I install admin_menu as I install Drupal, and this module simply rocks! This option would make it even better.
PS: i never contribute in a module, can I? this seems easy..

It would be great have just a checkbox with "Bigger font" option.

I think it would be text field or select list with font size.

I would recommend altering the font-size rule in the CSS document, #admin-menu to use "em" or "%", that alone should fix.

I switched it to .9em and it looks fine on my large resolution monitor. Using that measurement will allow the screens to adjust the font size in a relative manner. You can also over-write it in your theme css, but it should be changed in the module.

It's not possible override this rule in theme CSS without patching if you are using core or contributed theme.

Great module, but font is small indeed. I know, that it's easy to overide default font size through css, but it's not very user-friendly.
I install admin_menu everytime i install drupal. And my first part of work is to configure the site (nodes, fields, views, etc) on the basic theme just by mouse clicking. I don't want to go and overide stylesheets. But i have no choice, as the font is really too small, especially on big monitors.

I hope one day this feature will be implemented.

I wish to add my 2cents to the request for an adjustable font size. My eyes are not too young and increasingly not too good and this feature would greatly improve an already great extension. Thanks! -- Tom Swan PS: literally 5 seconds later discovered Admin ... Toolbar Style which increased the font size when enabled, but I guess a native feature would still be best.

I added a blog post on different ways you can increase the font size:

Hi all,

I'm attaching a patch that adds the option to change the font size in the admin menu UI.

It's a little rough around the edges but I thought I'd share. You can test this patch on simplytest.me by using this link: https://simplytest.me/project/admin_menu/7.x-3.x?patch[]=https://www.dru...

Thankyou Loopduplicate.

The patch in #10 works great for my intents and purposes.

I was having a difficult time with navigating the buttons on my 13" laptop screen, and this patch resolved the issue.
The styling could use a little help since the submenu items get a little off vertically, especially on larger font sizes, but I'm going to be using this patch regardless.

Thanks for the feedback, volkswagenchick :)

Nice patch, Thanks

it works great.

I use this patch daily.
Patch owner says it is still rough around the edges.

I am sorry for no reply until now.

There are many issues regarding this module admin_menu which is a bit difficult for us to follow up since some of the issues might be already outdated, or is already fixed by the module or any other modules or itself core which means that the problem might no longer need to be fixed.

We can see that the issue has been created for a few years ago, I hope it is okay for you that I am postponing the issue, and give you around two weeks. If you still face the problem, could you tell us the step by step when until you get the error message or what is frustrated you, and a list of modules you are using related to admin_menu and a screenshot that might help us? So it makes us easier to reproduce your issue.

However, after two weeks with no feedback - we will close this issue. So in case, you noticed it after the issue is closed, do not hesitate to reopen it like and fill information which is mentioned above.

So before giving us a feedback, do you mind to test it again with our latest 7.x-3.x-dev?

Thank you for understanding! :)

maintainer needs more info

@truls1502, have actually read the issue? It's title and summary are pretty clear.

Hi @Chi,

Yes, you are right that the title and summary are clear enough, that's something I do not defend. :)

I have done it to check the response, clean the list of the issue by getting the update on "Latest update". Maybe it is something I shouldn't do it. However, I am happy you are one of few who responded to the hundreds of issues.

So back to the track with this issue, is the patch #10 which works most of you guys? :)

Could someone here do a reroll of #10 against 7.x-3.x-dev? :)

Hi!

Thanks all for the great work on this feature request.
Patch from #10 still applies, but I went ahead anyway and created an updated version.

Please find attached to this comment a re-roll of the patch from #10, against admin_menu-7.x-3.x, at d3bf136.
File attached as: admin_menu-font-size-option-841516-22.patch

I also tested successfully the patch which does what is described at #10.

Hope this helps.
Thanks!

The patch in #23 applies cleanly to 7.x-3.x-dev and after testing successfully implements this feature request so I'm changing the status to RTBC. Hopefully this gets committed for the next 7.x release, be it -rc7 or 7.x-3.0.

I have also corrected the patch regarding Drupal Coding Standards.
