Hello everyone.

I would like to know if it is possible to change the font size of the sidebar, only the sidebar, and if there is a way that in long entries you can adjust the text in two lines instead of being cut as it happens to me continuously .

Thanks in advance.

Xabriña,

What part of the sideBar are you talking about because there are a number of places, and sizes there. eg SideBar Tab title/Content etc...

Where exactly is this problem of yours occurring?

It will be easier to help with more info

Regards
Tony

Hello TonyM!

I refer for example to the "Recent" tab or to a TOC created by me in another tab.

Thank you.

I have seen in some classic Tiddlywiki what I have asked previously but I am not clear about where these modifications can be configured. Change the size of the font and in the long titles of the tiddlers they adjust to the size of the sidebar.

Thanks in advance.

Xabrina,

I presume you have tried the ctrl-Mouse(centre roller) to dynamically zoom in our out?

I presume you are editing a SideBar tab, or have created your own?

Also, Keep in mind that due to the zoom feature all font sizes can be relative, also, items placed in the side bar do need to be designed to fit in the sidebar given its limited width.

See 

$:/ControlPanel > Appearance > Theme Tweeks > SideBar Width


See also Sidebar layout and other settings.

Tony

Hello TonyM !!!

Yes, I have tried the ctrl-Mouse (center roller) to dynamically zoom.

I want to modify the original sidebar so that the long names of tiddlers that do not fit the space available are put in two lines or in those that are needed.

Thank you very much.

Xabrina,

More information please, as said above; What SideBar tab do you have the problem with?

I presume you are editing a SideBar tab, or have created your own?
$:/ControlPanel > Appearance > Theme Tweeks > SideBar Width
See also Sidebar layout and other settings.

On my Wiki some tabs wrap long names others generate a horizontal scroll bar

I think I can help some more once I know where your problem is occurring.

Regards
Tony

Hello Xabriña

I guess it is not the font size you want to change, but the line breaking behavior so long titles would be displayed on more than one line.

I have implemented this on https://tid.li/tw5/test/bricks.html

See More-tab > Recent for examples. Is that what you want?

Then maybe I can help later (I am on my phone now).

Cheers,
Thomas
