Part IV: Scripting and (X)<strong>HTML</strong><br />

Figure 17-5: The Joomla Template Manager marks the current template<br />

with a yellow star.<br />

3. Click the template name that’s designated with the star (that is, you’ll<br />

want to click the left-most column in the table of entries) for an overview<br />

of that template.<br />

4. Click the Edit <strong>CSS</strong> icon at the upper right.<br />

A list of <strong>CSS</strong> files appears.<br />

5. To edit any of these files, click the radio button on the left to select<br />

a particular file, and then click the Edit icon above the table on the<br />

right.<br />

In this example, we want to make the body text in our Web site bigger,<br />

so we click the radio button to the left of the main <strong>CSS</strong> template called<br />

template.css. Then we click the Edit icon above the table. The <strong>CSS</strong> for<br />

the selected template file opens in a text input box.<br />

6. Edit the <strong>CSS</strong> code in the text input box.<br />

For example, we scrolled to the tag and changed font-size<br />

from 12px to 16px.<br />

7. Click the Save icon above the text input box to commit your changes<br />

to the template file.<br />

That’s it! See Figure 17-6 to view the site before (top) and after (bottom)<br />

changing the font size.<br />
