My layout (Bases Tropical, out of the box) has embiggened massively, in both Firefox & Safari, logged in or not, on a Mac running Snow Leopard. The rest of the site seems fine and once I managed to find the tiny "light format" button on the navbar my reading page became readable, but uh... Not Right.

It's explained here: http://dw-styles.dreamwidth.org/15428.html

Thank you. But... this is what it looks like now.

If you're using one of the layouts above, the font size for entries, etc, will likely become larger. We've tried to adjust the other font sizes (entry titles, journal titles), so that these are not super-huge in comparison to before, but some will likely also be larger than before.

Super-huge is an understatement.

My layout's text got bigger as well.

I have to press Ctrl - twice to get it back to normal, and it isn't holding through reloads.

My style is unmodified Red Squiggle, with the default font settings so far as I can remember. I'm running Firefox on Windows Vista.

When I posted an entry (this one here, if you need to know specifically) from the "post an entry" page in Firefox last night/this morning, I had a devil of a time getting it to properly space instead of just clumping up in one big block of text. I kept having to switch over to the rich text editor, break it up the way I wanted, and switch back to the HTML editor before the entry looked right in the preview window. If I kept writing the post in the HTML editor after that it behaved normally. But if I adjusted any of the privacy/mood/date settings, it would snap right back to the giant block of text when I previewed it and I'd have to toggle editors again to get it looking right.

Hm. Can you check to make sure that you don't have the "don't autoformat" toggled on the update page? (It remembers your last-used setting, so if you posted an entry and checked the don't autoformat, you'll need to uncheck it with your next entry.)

If this was last night, it was well before the code push, so that's the only thing I can think of.

The colors on my layout appear to have changed - it seems to have gone back to some of the default colors, but not entirely.

[ninetydegrees]

You mean the navigation area? That's because you're using custom code which doesn't work as well as it used to because of this push.
See where you have .module-section-one li in your Custom CSS? You need to change that to .module-section-one .module-navlinks li
Same thing for .module-section-one ul, .module-section-one li a, .module-section-one ul li a:hover and .module-section-one ul li.active.

BTW the reason for the patch is that Transmogrified didn't look good when other modules besides navigation were in the header. We had to make the styling of navigation only apply to navigation and not to all modules hence the changes for you, unfortunately.

Hey, I wanted to try out Gradation Horizontal and decided I wanted to switch back. I'm trying to change back to Tropospherical Red but it won't 'stick'. When I hit 'save' in Account settings it goes back to Red temporarily, any other site scheme sends it back to Gradation.
ETA: Tried changing to Purple to see if that would fix it, now it's sticking on Purple instead of Gradation...

Same Issue.

[denise]

Trying to figure out what the problem for this is -- we think we might have an idea, but aren't sure. Just hang tight, since it won't be fixed absolutely immediately but it should be fixed in a day or two!

(In the meantime, you can add ?usescheme=tropo-red to the end of links to see them in Tropo.)

[msilverstar]

I had the giant text too, only on my style (Transmogrified Basic, lots of experimental customization). ~100 point font! Minutes to word wrap in my browser window!

It seems to be better now, so just a data point.

[whatdoyousee]

Holy... Thought I'd accidently zoomed in or something. Thanks for the link yvi, gotta change this back. Too bad we can't change the Post Entry's font size, big text gives me a headache. *sigh*

[ilyena_sylph]

+1.

Can we have a fix for that, please?

[reginagiraffe]

At random intervals I've been getting Internet Explorer script errors, usually when I refresh DW or try to go to a post comment page.

EEEK!

I'm using Transmogrified Basic. My font turned huge; I tracked it down, and I had set '12', which turned into 12 em.

Not knowing what size to use, I reset my reading page to default, to adjust from there. Now the font is tiny - unreadably so.

My problem is, I don't know what size to set as a standard. I commonly set my browser (firefox) larger than normal, so I'm not a good judge. Advice? Opinions?

Also, suddenly my reading page scrolls down at about 25% of the speed of other pages - even other DW pages. I'm confused.

If you go to http://www.dreamwidth.org/customize/options?group=style and pick "1 em" for "Size of base font" and "Units for base font size", it will use your browser's default font size. You can then tweak as desired. Sorry about the hassle!

[terrierlee]

The text in my layout is really huge. Not that I mind or anything, it's just a bit of a shock to come home to.

The text in the comm artondemand is MASSIVE. But I seem to only have that problem with that comm and I don't know if I'm the only one with that problem.

[ilyena_sylph]

Just went and checked -- you're not. It was like, entire laptop screens for single words.

[denise]

The maintainer will need to go to http://www.dreamwidth.org/customize/options?group=style and pick "1 em" for "Size of base font" and "Units for base font size", so that it will use your browser's default font size. This is part of a change we made to be more accessible and it seems that a few layouts are having problems if you'd previously customized certain settings. There's more info at http://dw-styles.dreamwidth.org/15428.html.

[21freckles]

Despite the "1" + "em" already selected as my default the font is a tad too big.

[denise]

http://dw-styles.dreamwidth.org/15428.html explains how to change it.

[musyc]

I just wanted to jump and say thank you for embiggening the font sizes. I switched my layout a while ago, and it was so so tiny to me, but then I saw the post about the font fixings. I waited patiently and voila. It's perfect reading size now. XD
