Hi
I though it might be possible to change the font size on the rewrite more label by adding an html tag in front of it.
But this has not worked, is it possible to change the size of this field so it is smaller than the rest of the view's text?
Thanks for your help.

dawehnerPlease learn css, because then you should be able to do it.

Anonymous (not verified) commentedNot sure if sarcasm is against policy here but thanks that was spectacularly helpful, does the field accept css or are you suggesting I in some way alter the css file that comes with the theme... The read more and title of the block both have the same style so I wondered if I could use html tags within the views forms to make it easy.
I'm not sure that your use of fixed matches the answer but thanks anyway and I would like to welcome myself to the helpful world that is open source coding.
I honestly think that this is one of the main problems with Drupal the attitude of people on the site, learn it yourself and don't bother us we are far too busy to help newbies.
Thanks again.

dawehnerYou know the issue is that you kind of burnout if you help on every question which could be really solved by other persons.
Just to support my argument here, have a look at http://drupal.org/project/issues/statistics/views especially the last month column.
Do you want this to happen? Don't you think it would be better for everyone if the bugs are fixed instead explaining people hundreds of time the same questions? This is really nothing against you or so called newbies in general, its just a matter of resources and sleep. Additional really often people which contribute don't make a living out of that, so what they do in their free time is their own decision.
To get at least somehow a way to manage the issue queue, we created issue submission guidelines, which you have to read if you would have looked at the issue create form. This document is intended to help you to help us to help you, oh what a sentence :)
I know many people don't do that and that is really depressing. http://drupal.org/node/571990
One of the major points there is:
Do not post issues that can be fixed with CSS.

dawehnerHow do you know an issue can be resolved with css unless you ask,Well assuming you have read the document and you see the word "css".
a) You know already what css means, ... okay this case is already proven because you wouldn't have to ask in the first place.
b) You don't know css. Personally if i don't know a word i have a quick search in my favourite search machine: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cascading_Style_Sheets comes out of that. By reading at least some sentences you would know that you can use css to alter some styles.
Sorry for this logic argumentation :) If you don't have read this documentation, that is really your own fault.
Should the microsoft office support team explain you how the english grammar works?

dawehnerI'm sorry for you but good luck with opensource, you will fail with this attitude in the long term.

merlinofchaos commentedSorry JG, but it's the policy that we in the Views' queue are not able to really help much with CSS. For starters, it's beyond our expertise. We're the people who develop Views, which is a piece of software for querying. We are able to help with problems related to the software.
Unfortunately, CSS is a big, open task, and it's not something we particularly specialize in. We lack the time to answer every question (as you can see by the sheer volume of open issues in this queue). And there are plenty of places you can ask for support on CSS; most notably the Drupal stackexchange. I understand that you find yourself in a situation where you lack the knowledge you need to do something, but being difficult here is not going to help you get your job done.
There are many, many resources on the web for learning how to use CSS and HTML, and these are unfortunately requirements for doing what it is you want to do.

Anonymous (not verified) commented@merlinofchaos thanks for your response.
At no point have I said I cannot write HTML and/or CSS in fact I have resolved the issue by creating a css class and assigning it to the view under the advance tab. If dawehner had mentioned this in the first place rather than instructing me to learn css this whole chain would never have happened.
@dawehner Thanks for pointing my questions on the Mayo theme back to this post, very helpful.
I have never been on a forum/help/support site where the answer to a question is "learn this", I am a developer working on the Oracle Financials eBusiness suite and have visited many forums/help/support sites where the members have been informative and helpful even when they only do it in their spare time. My first experience of open source forums has left a bad taste.

merlinofchaos commentedThis isn't a forum/help/support site. What you are in right now is the Views issue queue, where people report bugs and add features to the software. Perhaps that is part of the problem right there. You misunderstand the purpose of where you posted.

merlinofchaos commentedI also would like to point out that English is not dawehner's first language. He was not being sarcastic in #1, simply being direct and to the point.
