Font Size in Jira - Changing in CSS

Question

Hi,

I would like to change the font size in several places in Jira, mainly in the Issue View.
So i tried to find the correct CSS file, which should have been Issue-view.css (the one in atlassian-jira\ui\). The problem is that whatever i change there, I don't see any change in the Jira application.

I also don't see anything about font size there. Is that the good way to do it?

Thanks,

Vincent

Hi Vincent,

Are you changing it for everyone using your instance or is it just a personal preference you'd like for when you access JIRA?

If it's the later I'd recommend looking at http://userstyles.org and putting in an explicit CSS rule just to target the View Issue page.

In JIRA 5 we have done a lot of work making the markup consistent. There's some very handy classes added to the body for many of the prominent pages within JIRA: .page-type-issuenav, .page-type-viewissue, .page-type-admin, etc

You could just add:

.page-type-viewissue {
  font-size: 15px;
  line-height: 1.4;
}

and that'd bump up the font size just when on the View Issue page.

If you're doing it across your entire instance, add that style to the Announcement Banner using the method David described.
