 The main text is this part...

Code:
 
html,body {
background: #fff url() repeat;
color:#000;
font-family:"Trebuchet MS", "Helvetica", "Arial", "Bitstream Vera Sans", "Verdana", sans-serif;
font-size:88%;
margin:0;
padding:0;
}


Change the "font-size" part to a lower percentage.

The font size on the Vox theme is 93.3%

hope that helps.

93.3% is the default size, I think.

so.. changing the font-size to 88% it reduced the font size of my forum.

yet.. there still problems regarding the size I used.

It made my fonts not so clear and kinda hard to read.

nyway.. thanks.

 You could do what I did and manually change the font sizes across the CSS per thing. It takes longer and might get annoying, but it works. It also depends on which font you're using. Smaller can mean completely unreadable compared to another. Changing the BODY font size is not the best maneuver. Some only need reducing by a small amount, or I decreasing the font-weight (700 is bold, 400 is not). Changing the 'global' (99.3% is the default size across the board unless otherwise stated in the CSS) value will just decrease them all by the same amount, which you might not want to do.

^That's not even default. 93.3% is the default font size...hence why it's on Vox :P

Thank-you for using the forums rather than PM more staff for support.

Dunno.

93.3% was the one with my "default Zetaboard Theme".

Nyway.. sorry for that.

I just thought that's the better thing to do not after I read the rules. >.<
