Increase font size in Processwire (backend)?

[cabrooney]

A customer is complaining, that the font size in Processwire (backend) is too small. Is there a way to increase the font sizes in the backend?

(Processwire Version 3.0.229 + Uikit Version 0.3.3)

I've not tried this one, but perhaps @bernhard's RockSkinUiKit module can do it?

https://github.com/baumrock/AdminStyleRock is the way to go. You can override all uikit variables, for example this:

@global-font-size: 30px;

AdminStyleRock gives me an version warning. 

Would the font size also change for all users or can it be set for individual users or roles?

[bernhard]

This tells you that you need to install the Less module first. You need the less module for parsing all less files to css.

All changes are global for all users.

Bernhard's AdminRockStyle is probably the easiest way to go, but there's a blog post from Ryan  which covers how to customise the admin theme using Less.

We keep a slightly more accessible colour scheme in our skeleton project as a starting base for new sites for example, and it would be easy enough to add a larger font size in there.

I will give it a try. 

In the mean time i found out, that there are some configuration options in configure -> modules -> AdminThemeUiKit
Adding a global font-size there would be a great option.
