changing font universally

[vibeofboston]

I have question regarding how to change the font universally. I know can look at the rendered html page and then modify those but there is gotta be a easier way to change font for any skin.

can someone help

Hi,

You can set font parameters (size & family) by editing *.skin.properties file.

Thanks. I did exactly that. I read the richfaces book and it talked about skinning abilities.

I'm pretty new to RichFaces, can you provide a little more detail about what you did to adjust the font universally; for example:

What is the full file name of the *.skin.properties file you mentioned, and where are these files located?

Do you have any "before" and "after" samples of the content of these files (or maybe it will be self explanatory when I find the file)?

Also, which RichFaces book are you referring to?

Thanks!

B.t.w. visit our project page documentation page to check all the documentation and books available.

also mkblog.exadel.com contains simple skinning entries like http://mkblog.exadel.com/ria/richsimpletogglepanel-on-a-friday/

Thanks Ilya, I will try what you did on your blog.  A quick follow-up question, though ...

In your example you modify the file laguna2.skin.properties.  Is this a new file you created and put in the root of your src folder, or is there a file by that name somewhere else, like, inside the Laguna jar file or something?

Is there documentation somewhere that details all of the properties that can specified in the *.skin.properties file?

Thanks again!
