Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.Also see #509050: Reconsider base font size (PLEASE!)
The current implementation of the theme does not support gracefully increasing the size of the font through your browser. The header in particular starts to break as well as the homepage. Across the website, there are too many elements with a fixed height that won't gracefully expand to contain their contents.
We should support those who are hard of sight to at least two factors above the base, and gracefully degrade beyond that.

jwilson3migrated into the bluecheese issue queue. I also totally agree that this is an important feature to support. We need to identify the elements that could be changed / tweaked with css, to allow better resizing. What I can see right now is:
* header elements are based on float position of previous elements (this also affects the positioning of the logo. if there is no nav, then the logo floats up to the top edge -- very cludgy
Other than this, i cant really see any problems when i resize to two times up (or down from the base size) in firefox. not tested in other browsers. Since firefox now supports (just like ie, safari, and opera) the default resizing also resizes widths and images as well, everything seems to maintain good layout.
One issue i did find was the header bg doesnt expand if the viewport width is too small (horizontal scrollbar to the right). This is an unrelated issue that even occurs at the base font size.

drummThere will always be navigation in he header, so we don't have to worry about the wordmark moving in it's absence. Please reopen with specific other issues.
