Changing Firebird UI Font with userChrome.css
Everytime I install Firebird, it seems that I get a different (and usually ugly) UI font. Other posts have covered how to enable AA in Firebird, so I'll cover how to change the font used in the UI using your userChrome.css file. On a per user basis, the file needs to be created in the directory: | Code: | | ~/.phoenix/<your profile name - usually default>/<random string of numbers>.slt/chrome |
A default file named userChrome-example.css is provided in this directory.
Copy the existing userChrome-example.css to userChrome.css and edit it. At the bottom of the file, add the following | Code: | windows, dialog, wizard, page, popup, menupopup, menubar,
menu, toolbox, toolbar, urlbar, tabbrowser, statusbar,
menuitem, button {
font-family: Verdana !important;
} |
This will force all UI elements (that I could find anyways) to use the Verdana font. This setting will override any theme based settings.
To make this change on a global level, you will need to create and edit a userChrome.css in the directory: | Code: | | /usr/lib/phoenix/defaults/profile/chrome |
For reference, I am using the latest phoenix ebuilds from portage. I would assume that eventually the directories named .phoenix will be renamed to .firebird |

Instead of writting all the UI elements its easier to do:
| Code: |
* {
font-family: Verdana !important;
}

Just a note.. I simplified the example. I added all the elements so you could break them up & set them to different fonts/sizes, etc. I probably didnt make that clear in the initial post... but you can def. tweak the look of Firebird with this... |
