Changing the style of textarea in admin.css
Can anyone can lead me to change the style of the (particulaly font of editing text) textarea in admin.css?
Thanks in advance.

What version of TxP are using? Because, to my knowledge, the look of the TxP interface is controlled by textpattern.css—at least in 4.01.

It doesn’t have a class, style is applied globally to all textareas. Find the “textarea” rule in the stylesheet and you can see what the current font defined for it is.

Mary again thanks for your lead. But unfortunate it is for people who would like to have to edit non-English text in back end. I tried to change and went on with trial and error method. Finally, I also attributed the font for textarea in: /textpattern/textpattern/include/txt_article.
But the change did not take place. I am stuch here. Any solution will be a great help for me.

Uh… What’s the problem? You find the rule, you change it.

What did you think that would do?

I thought that if I change all the reference in all files to “textarea” would display the font I wanted it to display. But had no success. Though I dont want to give up, certainly sleepless nights to customise textpattern is beyond my capacity, that to being a sort of novice here.
And it is beyond my reach a professional in this regard.

Re: Changing the style of textarea in admin.css
We were talking about the stylesheet. Just open up the stylesheet and look for “textarea”, then make your changes.

Mary,
since everything is set globally, if I change the “textarea” attributes in admin.css it get applied for every refrence to “textarea” in all the scripts. since we are trying to achive bilingual site management I dont think that is wiser to do. Besides, I did achive what I needed by hacking in to script.
Thanks for your response.
