Hi All,

hoping this is a simple one.

I have a screen which because of viewing it at a workstation up to a few feet away. I want to control the size of the font in a drop down single selection list. I need to make it bigger.

I have used my normal schoolboy css, identify view, then tag it with font-size, which works on everything else I’ve done, but it doesn’t work on this. I’m guessing as the drop down works like an indexed array, i’m going to need something else in there to help identify it. Anyone tell me what it is…?

Appreciate the help.

Neil

Hi @NeilParkin60970

Try this you need to replace the view and the field IDs but it should work:

```auto
#view_335-field_522 > option {
    font-size: 20px;
}

```

Adjust the font-size to what you need.
