fedora 17 Icon text font too small in Activities

[zhchq200]

Hello,

I am using a 14" VGA lcd with 1366x768 resolution. With some tweaking, I'm pretty satisfied with GNOME Shell and its look. The only exception is the font of the text below the icons in Activities. On my monitor with this resolution, the text is just too small. As far as I know, it's the smallest text anywhere in the GUI. This is kind of an accessibility issue for me, since I do have a sight problem.

Does anyone know how to increase just this font size?

Thanks

You can install gnome-tweak-tool and increase the font size through it.

Increase the small bold (top line of desktop) font to 12pt. Edit the font-size setting in
the /usr/share/gnome-shell/theme/gnome-shell.css file as follows:

/* small bold */
.dash-label,
.window-caption,
.switcher-list,
.source-title,
.app-well-app > .overview-icon,
.remove-favorite > .overview-icon,
.search-result-content > .overview-icon {
font-size: 12pt;
font-weight: bold;
}
