Description Andreas Roussos 2020-05-18 14:35:44 UTC
This may be subjective as I'm on a FullHD (1920x1080) laptop screen, but
I noticed that the Web Installer font size is a bit too small to read.

To be more specific, v18.11.16 is the last version where the body font-size
property is set to 14px in bootstrap.min.css. From v19.05.00 onwards the
size decreased to 12px and this makes the textual elements (including the
button labels) appear a bit too small, and are harder to read compared to
previous Koha versions.

Please view the attached screenshots for a side-by-size comparison.

I think this may be related to Bug 22023.

Possibly relevant excerpt from commit a344b8cf8c:

"The modified default CSS resets the base font size in Bootstrap to
better match our global CSS. A side-effect of this is that toolbar
buttons ended up looking smaller than they should. Changing the
button class solves this."

I just checked again using the Web Installer for v24.11.01 and
the font size now looks much better in all steps of the setup
process, so I'm closing this :-)
