"new record" button/link size

Postby david1212 » Fri Jun 15, 2012 4:50 pm

There are action buttons I would like to make taller so they will be easier navigate to with a mouse and to click.

The list view has three buttons: details , list, and find.
The line below that says: New Record, Show All, Copy Set, Delete Set, Update Set, Import Records

I would like to make these buttons ( I am not sure if the correct term is link ) taller.

I figure I would to that in plone.css. Is that right? If so what are the items I would change. I tried for a while reading through and changing things and the only ones I could find were for the table_selection_tabs.

Incidentally, When I changed the table_selection_tabs to font-size: 140%; it did make them bigger, but it put white space below them that was not there before. I guess I will need to do some more reading about CSS.

Can someone help me figure out how to make the following items larger? -- details , list, and find. New Record, Show All, Copy Set, Delete Set, Update Set, Import Records.

Many thanks in advance.

PS.
I like concepts that xataface uses - start with db and dynamically create CRUD views from them - config files to adjust the views to needs - etc. I think this is great work. I can't wait for 2.0. I am getting excited just thinking about it.

Yes. Looking in plone.css is the right place to look. Best to not modify it, but to instead add your own stylesheet that overrides the styles in question. If you are tinkering with CSS, it is in your interest to get familiar with CSS developer tools like the Safari Developer menu, or FireBug. In Safari, for example, you can click on any element on the page and it will show you all of the styles that are applied to it, and which stylesheet the style is defined in.
