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:

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

```

Thank you very much @Canapin works great except the titles on category tab..  
[https://meta.discourse.org/categories](https://meta.discourse.org/categories)  
I would appreciate if you can send me another code to fix it 😃

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

```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](https://meta.discourse.org/my/preferences/interface)

(accessible through the user menu too)

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