gnome-shell.css: specify font size for overview view selector area
Last modified: 2011-01-11 17:15:38 UTC
I'm not sure that this size is exactly right: at 16px, the descenders of the "y" and "p" in "Search your computer" get truncated, but at 14px the text looks too small. (Although maybe that's just because I was used to it being too big before.) (Note that without this, the text is large enough that I only see the top 2/3 of each letter.)
Created attachment 178035 [details] [review] gnome-shell.css: specify font size for overview view selector area Previously this was inheriting the default size, which is specified in pts, and so would make the text larger than its 16px containing box if you have high DPI.
Review of attachment 178035 [details] [review]: Looks fine (though font sizing generally needs attention - we specify various fonts, and not other fonts, and probably all font sizes should be pt based...)

Yes, they should, but we can't mix pt and px, and if we size the SVGs to pts then they'll get un-pixel-aligned and fuzzy. (Although... "fuzzy" is not really as relevant a concept at higher DPI... Maybe what we want is for "px" to be interpreted as "pt" at high DPI.)
