Soon we’ll be trying out a change that increases the font-size of the sidebar content because it’s a little on the small size at the moment (13px for links). The new size for links will match our default font-size for body text (15px).
This will likely be a love/hate kind of change. It might take a little getting used to. If we can keep feedback and issues within this topic it would be appreciated!
I think there is a tiny bit of extra salt and pepper we can add for info density…
I think headers can be the same size as items, they are bolded which is enough to call them out
I think the distance between sections can be narrowd a bit
I think that maybe there is room to reduce 1px or margin between items?
Overall I think the change is good, but some minor adjustment may help here, cause the downside is sidebar scrolling if we leave too much breathing room.
i’ve used a bunch of CSS on the sidebar to change things, including, narrowing the gap between the sidebar and main outlet window, removing the globe icon from custom (admin) links, and change the margin settings to move the text over to the left a bit. removed some links from under community, changed the category bullets, hid lock badges on certain categories, and used the text replacement to rename Community and Everything. also transparency so some of my theme and category background watermark images show through. i figured out how to change the spacings between things but since it’s being worked on by the team, i’ve not changed it.
Love it!
Don’t care
Hate it!
