everything is huge

In which regard?

1. Multilinguality?
2. CSS / font-size?
3. Content?

In general I’d like to influence the proportionality of the text elements.
At https://koptermen.5cz.de/de/faq/ the text is too big definitely. But it just appears like that ‘out of the box’. Standard parameter, fresh installation.

As stated, the custom CSS code enabled me to change the title font-size while the body’s won’t. Oddly this was accomplished by your update to 3.0 — before I could set the font-size of the body text as well.

I also note, that on your own website the size of the menu is larger than the one of the body. Why can’t it appear like that on my site as well?

Cheers.

PS: In order to illustrate my point, have a look here:
https://kuku.5cz.de/test/decode/

You’ll note a “virgin” WordPress-installation, no plug-ins, no custom CSS in Decode. IMHO the accentuation set by the different font-sizes is wrong, e.g. menus are smaller than body text.

Since even your own website displays a more decent text-structure…

… you might agree that users wish to make adjustments.

For everyone having HUGE icons with 3.0.1: Are you running Chrome? If so, hold Shift and then tap F5. Worked for me!

It’s not the font that’s huge, it’s the icons.

You child theme needs to be updated to use some of the changed class names in Decode 3.

@tanganjika, Remember to create a new thread to discuss your own issues: https://www.ads-software.com/support/theme/decode#postform

Scott: Can you be a little more specific? I thought the point of a child theme was that nothing gets messed up when you update the parent theme. Now I have to go through and try to find what you changed?

After much searching, I have found the problems.
Please stop changing class names in future updates! It wastes far too much of everyone’s time to find the one little change that messed up everything.
Hopefully this will be the only problem I come across.

Ok, I’m glad you’re set. Feel free to shoot me an email if something goes wrong again. I should have handled deprecating the CSS classes better.

Hi Scott, I *love* Decode. I do create child themes for every site. Just a minute ago I upgraded the Decode parent theme of http:/cluetail.com and everything got tiny.

Do I understand correctly that I would need to edit style.css in my child theme in order to fix this? If so, can you please explain exactly which edits are required?

Many thanks,
Jos

You should remove the part of your style.css file that says body{font-size: 100%;}

Scott, thanks so much for you prompt response.

In order to enable a responsive design grid, I had previously copy-pasted gridiculo.us css statements into my Decode child theme’s style.css file. Indeed, that’s where I now found and removed “font-size: 100%;” from the statement “body{font-size:100%;line-height:1.6875}”. Worked like a charm.

By the way – and I realize this a separate question -, what is your preferred responsive design grid for Decode?

Thanks again,
Jos

Glad that worked. I haven’t used enough grid systems to give you my preference. I’d prefer to use a preprocessor and something like Foundation without Compass.
