Can I change the Ubiquity font?
is there any way I can change the font used for Ubiquity? Currently looks like Times New Roman which looks terrible. There is also a border around the window that looks like it shouldn't be there. (Vista x64 with Firefox 3.0.1).

Inappropriate?If you're brave, you can get the source code version of Ubiquity (requires Mercurial) and edit ubiquity/chrome/content/browser.css to change anything about the styles you want.
Unfortunately there's no way to change it through the UI right now. Consider your feature request acknowledged.

Inappropriate?Just look into menu Tools->Options->Content->Fonts&Colors->Default Font
Choose font you like and restart Firefox1 Comment

That's not so helpful if you only want to change Ubiquity's font, not that of the whole browser... -
Inappropriate?Kirtay has made a real nice skin for ubiquity, and also a tutorial.

It looks a lot better and has different font.

Inappropriate?I'm thinking that you can access pblock's style properties and set it that way... not 100% sure and am testing it now

Inappropriate?I just tested by resetting font size. It works.
That was with the pblock. I'm pretty sure you can also set the rest. It's just a matter of hacking through the elements. Just use the dom to list the parent node for pblock, and list the child nodes of that parent, and go up the list.

Inappropriate?If you have the Stylish extension add this rule (if you don't you'll have to locate your userContent.css in your profile directory):
@-moz-document url("chrome://ubiquity/content/preview.html") {
body{
font-family:"arial","helvetica",sans-serif
}
}
obviously change fonts to taste

Inappropriate?You can find the theme's CSS file pretty easily. It's in your profile folder.
C:\Documents and Settings\your name\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\your profile\extensions\ubiquity@labs.mozilla.com\chrome\content\preview.css
Just add the font to the following to the end of the "body" declaration.
body {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
color: #BBB;
font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;
font-size: small;
}

Thanks! That works fine on Linux as well ~/.mozilla/firefox/YOURPROFILE/extensions/ubiquity@labs.mozilla.com/chrome/content/preview.css ;)

Inappropriate?Usually it is as easy as editing the CSS files.
Josh nailed it.
Arial is good, and if you have Vista/Office '07, Calibri is nice (but you'd have to play around with font sizes).
