How do I increase the width of the standard top menu; I would like to give a little more space to the text I have in the menu. Also, how do I increase the font size in the top menu?

Thanks,

geejmauriva

Hi geejmauriva !
You open transmenuh.css file in templates/ja_altair/ja_transmenu folder :
find following code section at bout line 122 :


a.mainlevel-trans:link, a.mainlevel-trans:visited {
border-right:1px solid #1C351C;
clear:both;
color:#FFFFFF;
display:block;
font-size:11px;
height:30px;
line-height:32px;
margin:1px 0pt 0pt;
text-align:center;
text-decoration:none;
white-space:nowrap;
width:80px;
}


change into :


a.mainlevel-trans:link, a.mainlevel-trans:visited {transmenuh.css (line 122)
border-right:1px solid #1C351C;
clear:both;
color:#FFFFFF;
display:block;
font-size:13px;
height:30px;
line-height:32px;
margin:1px 0pt 0pt;
text-align:center;
text-decoration:none;
white-space:nowrap;
width:120px;
}

hainn84,

Excellent! That worked great, now my menu items are larger. Thank You!!

One little glitch is that when you click on one of the menu items, it reverts back to the old menu width. I scrolled down through the css and did find this code:

a.mainlevel_active-trans, a.mainlevel_active-trans:active {

clear: both;

width: auto;

margin: 0;

display: block;

white-space: nowrap;

border-right: 1px solid #759275;

background: url(../images/tab-active.gif) repeat-x bottom #648364;

line-height: 33px;

height: 33px;

color: #FFFFFF;

font-size: 13px;

text-decoration: none;

}

I changed the font size in active to 13 but the width reverts to the small size. I couldn’t find anything in this code to indicate width.

Thanks!!!
