design - want to make product category text bigger & bolder

[eveorgan]

Hi everyone,

 

Just wondering if anyone here is cluey with the design side of oscommerce?

Basically I just want to alter my side navigation bar (where all the categories of products are shown.) At the moment they're just shown in plain text, not very big or bold, and really not noticeable enough - I want to make the text a lot bigger & bolder and maybe even give the links a background colour so that it looks more like a navigation bar and draws a bit more attention.

 

Any ideas? :)

It is all in your catalog/stylesheet.css. There is a contribution which gives you a commented stylesheet so you can find all the lines you want to change - categories, center text, etc.

Hi Barbara,

That sounds like just what I need! I've had a search for the contribution and I can't seem to find it - do you know what it's called?

Thanks so much!

Hi Barbara,

What a great help! I've made lots of changes.

However, I still can't seem to find where to change the text for the product categories which appears on the left of the site. I've tried just about everything in the stylesheet & I can't seem to change the colour and size of that text, or the width of the actual box they're in. :(

Add this to your stylesheet:

 

.big {

font-size: 30px;

color: #FDD017;

}

 

Add CSS text properties to this to suit your needs.
