| sidebar text is WAY TOO SMALL in navigation box | sandra.dickenson | 3/23/09 7:36 AM | With such a large percentage of the general population in the "over 40" age bracket I would LOVE to see the ability to enlarge the font on the navigational sidebar. I have figured out I can redo everything I have already added to the Navigational Are |
| Re: sidebar text is WAY TOO SMALL in navigation box | annice.g | 7/7/09 4:20 AM | I agree 100%. Almost all the end users of my site (when it is finished) will be over 60, with many over 80! |
| Re: sidebar text is WAY TOO SMALL in navigation box | Charleo | 8/20/09 9:42 AM | I am 31 and could use a larger Navigation Text size. My DPI is currently set at 96 or whatever the default is, just seems that the Navigation Window's text is smaller than it should be. |
| Re: sidebar text is WAY TOO SMALL in navigation box | Derrick Farnell | 11/30/09 12:06 AM | I agree. It seems odd that Sites doesn't allow users to change this - even aside from legibility, I personally think that the current font size is too small from an aesthetic point of view: http://sites.google.com/site/cairnyardcountrylodges/ And |
| Re: sidebar text is WAY TOO SMALL in navigation box | kapuskasing | 12/1/09 7:03 AM | I'd like to change the font size on the sidebar. I've also had clients ask me how...... This is a small but important change as it highlights the limitation of the Google sites setup. Is this not an easy fix for the programmers? Thanks, -Jon |
| Re: sidebar text is WAY TOO SMALL in navigation box | Golden Knight | 12/2/09 2:07 PM | I would like it bigger as well. It looks to small to me. Out of all the options this one is not included, was this an oversight on Google's part? |
| Re: sidebar text is WAY TOO SMALL in navigation box | Derrick Farnell | 12/2/09 2:13 PM | It is indeed odd... :) |
| Re: sidebar text is WAY TOO SMALL in navigation box | donphinney | 12/9/09 1:30 AM | So is there an answer to this problem? is there someone on the sites development team that reads this or should we post somewhere else to get an answer? |
| Re: sidebar text is WAY TOO SMALL in navigation box | Golden Knight | 12/18/09 11:34 AM | There is someone from Google that reads the stuff in this section There is work around to have large links: Click "edit sidebar", then "add a sidebar item" and select "text box", Then add the links you want, in the size you want. Not really want I a |
| Re: sidebar text is WAY TOO SMALL in navigation box | Derrick Farnell | 3/16/10 4:00 PM | I'm surprised that this problem still exists. |
| Re: sidebar text is WAY TOO SMALL in navigation box | amyvox | 6/23/10 4:11 PM | These tiny nav links are awful! Users of my site say they didn't even understand that that was the navigation! |
| Re: sidebar text is WAY TOO SMALL in navigation box | mmoore5760 | 7/13/10 12:10 PM | I also am looking to enlarge the font on the Navigation sidebar. It's WAY too small for my liking. Why can we customize everything else, but not that too??? That seems so strange!!! Come on, Google...help us out!!! |
| Re: sidebar text is WAY TOO SMALL in navigation box | sandra.dickenson | 9/15/10 4:04 PM | I dont see how anyone can tell what resolution most people use. I do know that google has provided ways to change font sizes on other ares but not this one. I am waiting for a fix so that my 50 elderly members don't have to learn how to change their |
| Re: sidebar text is WAY TOO SMALL in navigation box | fredofred | 9/17/10 3:16 PM | I want all the fonts to be bigger and I'm not even 30. Reading tiny fonts is tiring - the default fonts are only size 10, which is really the smallest I'd use. |
| Re: sidebar text is WAY TOO SMALL in navigation box | liquidlover | 12/16/10 12:14 AM | I am a user experience designer and this is ridiculous. Google needs to consult with my company humaniche. They should be embarrassed. Who cares about new features like horizontal menus when you can't even read the vertical. I feel everyone's pai |
| Re: sidebar text is WAY TOO SMALL in navigation box | cibola123 | 1/14/11 3:27 PM | I agree. The designer or designers responsible are incompetent. Or did Google use a Work Experience trainee on this part? Even my 20 year old sons say the text is way to small. Looks unprofessional too. Should be very simple to reprogram it, so |
| Re: sidebar text is WAY TOO SMALL in navigation box | Derrick Farnell | 1/14/11 11:00 PM | It's almost two years since the first post in this thread. I don't understand why Google couldn't at least just state whether or not they are planning to do anything about this. See also: http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/sites/thread?tid=635a |
| Re: sidebar text is WAY TOO SMALL in navigation box | Robbie Wheeler | 2/5/11 4:42 AM | hi guys the is a way to do this but you just have to use links in a text box (i no it sucks) and you cant do drop down menues but still its one option. if you want i more advanced web designer use http://webs.com as they have custom css. the problem with we |
| Re: sidebar text is WAY TOO SMALL in navigation box | steve13565 | 2/11/11 8:29 AM | I too am looking for a way to change the font size. The existing navigation bar does so many good things, that I hate to give it up because my users are complaining about the small font size. THis has been going on for at least two years that I not |
| Re: sidebar text is WAY TOO SMALL in navigation box | kieriekd | 2/16/11 3:43 AM | Add a side bar item called Text. Size the text font and colour, etc. Link it to you pages. |
| Re: sidebar text is WAY TOO SMALL in navigation box | assg13565 | 2/16/11 6:48 AM | Adding a sidebar text box is a good stopgap measure. However it lacks several features of the navigation gadget. 1. The navigation gadget can automatically adapt to additional pages on the web site. 2. With the navigation gadget, the item in the na |
| Re: sidebar text is WAY TOO SMALL in navigation box | Jim55545 | 3/29/11 2:28 PM | Damn...I hoped to find some trick to enlarge the navigation panel font here. It's a shame that Google did nothing about this problem for so long time. |
| Re: sidebar text is WAY TOO SMALL in navigation box | Sandy Says | 4/6/11 10:13 AM | Not the "right" solution, but one you might consider... I created a page explaining how to use the CTRL and + keys to increase the view. Then I added a Text Box titled "Need Larger Print?" and linked the page to "Click here" text. Let me know if you |

| Re: sidebar text is WAY TOO SMALL in navigation box | assg13565 | 4/20/11 6:39 AM | For this and many other reasons, I switched over from a Google site to using Drupal on my paid for hosting account with another service. It is so so much easier to use PayPal on a non-Google site.. |
