Enlarging font size in menu, tabs, address & search bars

McClamrock

I just found out about Vivaldi in a SoftMaker newsletter, I'm trying it on Linux Mint, and I like it except that the font size in the menu, tabs, address and search bars is too small. I didn't see an obvious way to enlarge it. Is there a way to enlarge the UI font size?

Hi and no, you cant change the UI font size directly but you can change the UI interface size (Zoom).
Search for zoom in the settings page, one setting is for UI and the other for web pages.
I use 105% for the UI zoom, check out.

Cheers, mib

I know this is OT coz the BM bar was not one of your listed targets, but maybe for some future need you might discern...

Got it, thanks! (125% is more like it for me.)

Hi, you can use this code but at some point the address bar icons are out of the line:

.UrlBar-AddressField{
    font-size:17px;
}

I am glad it work for you but to be honest this is copied from a forum user but I don't know who.
As I mention at some point the high of the address field crop the font and so forth.
I use UI zoom 105 in combination with 17px is fine to me.

How to enlarge tab font size with css file
I don't want to use the "user interface zoom" setting built into the browser options because it unnecessarily increases the size of the address bar icons as well as the extension badges.

mrdoctor

#app * {
  font-family:'Open Sans';
  font-size:1.005em;
}

I used that to scale the UI font so it matches Firefox's on my system, removing the need to touch User Interface Zoom.

The main issue, I realized, is the default font Vivaldi started using (Cantarell) making the UI look tiny, more so than the font size itself—though I increased that too for good measure.
