Changing font size

The discussion revolves around changing the font size of titles on the main page in Discourse. Yariv_Cohen initially asked how to increase the font size of titles, which they found too small and light. Canapin provided a CSS solution:

.topic-list th {
    font-size: 1.2em;
}

However, this didn’t affect the category tab titles. Canapin then provided a more comprehensive solution, inspired by Arkshine:

.topic-list th, 
.category-list th, 
.latest-topic-list > .table-heading  {
    font-size: 1.2em;
}

Yariv_Cohen noted that the “Latest” title remained grey, but no further solution was provided. Additionally, 4ong and codinghorror pointed out that users can adjust the text size through their preferences, accessible via Preferences → Interface.

Hi there and thank you for the great DISCOURSE.
I’ve just established my new discourse but the default titles on the main page are very small and too light.
How can I change the titles font size and color?
BTW the platform is very sophisticated and detailed so it’s a bit surprising to not find easily those options.

Thank you

There is no related setting, but you can add this CSS to your theme:

.topic-list th {
    font-size: 1.2em;
}

edit: providing @Arkshine’s code since that’s the full working css:

.topic-list th, 
.category-list th, 
.latest-topic-list > .table-heading  {
    font-size: 1.2em;
}

Hi @Yariv_Cohen I saw that you already got an answer, but just to mention a thing that can be helpful and not obvious - in

Preferences → Interface

every user can choose a text size they prefer.

https://meta.discourse.org/my/preferences/interface

(accessible through the user menu too)

Yes as @4ong noted this is a user preference as well:
