Bold Font for Title bar, Bookmark bar..

Bold Font for Title bar, Bookmark bar..

Until recently I had a Bold Font for Title bar & Bookmark bar, after changing Windows 10 OS font size and display res to allow me to view a print dialog box and returning to the previous settings I no longer have this.
I have spent way too much time with Mr Google to no avail trying to return to my former state to no avail.
I have attached images in both states.
I am sure I must have done something to get bold fonts in the first place but I do not seem to have notes on just what.
"H:\PaleMoonProfile\chrome\userChrome.css" & "H:\PaleMoonProfile\chrome\userContent.css"
are both shown as recently modified even though I suspect that would have been where I made the changes.
Can someone give me some direction while I still have a bit of hair left. :(

(I am at this point also wondering if this is a 'Windows' thing and W10 is not letting me set what I used to have set for system fonts)

It would be in userChrome; userContent is for the page content area. I don't tinker with css much anymore but it seems like this would be easy enough.

Also, not exactly what you're asking about but you might find this useful too:
Address Bar & Search Bar More Readable by riiis, at PM addons site.

Another thing that might help in the future is making regular backups; FEBE is good for that, but you can do it manually.

Thanks to both of you. I will bookmark both options. I am thinking, that since I DO use FEBE I can go back a week (after a save) and see what everything looks like.

However I am thinking I am seeing a windows problem until testing says otherwise....
If anyone knows the css to change the Bookmarks Toolbar to a Bold font or a site that actually has info on it rather than a bunch of links that go around in a circle I would appreciate that.

I will update here with further developments...

This seems to work for the Bookmarks bar in userChrome.css:

Code: Select all

/*Bold labels for items directly on the bookmarks bar*/

toolbarbutton.bookmark-item .toolbarbutton-text {
    font-weight: bold !important;
}

And if you like...

Code: Select all

/*Bold labels for bookmarks inside of folders on the bookmarks bar*/

#PlacesToolbarItems menupopup .menu-iconic-text {
    font-weight: bold !important;
}
Concerning the Title bar, your screenshots show that you use your operating system's windows for the browser (you use the Menu bar, not the Pale Moon button). AFAIK that can't be tweaked via css (you might take a read through this thread.)

I loaded an old profile and still have the small non bolded font. I am going to blame MS for now and repost my problem at Windows Secrets to see if they can locate the missing system font options in Windows 10 ....

Thanks again for your help, if I can not get windows as a whole to behave I should now be able to get PM to be viewable.
:crazy: :D

Ok I refound a program I must have used in my download directory not my APPS dir. Mea Culpa. Change resolution or Font size in windows must have reset something in windows. I used "Advanced System Font Changer" and set every thing to bold and the result in PM was as hoped :D
