Settings → Appearance & layout: Text and Shape & spacing tabs

Every control for font, text size, line height, corners, borders, shadow, spacing, icon size and animation speed.

Open Settings → Business → Appearance & layout, then the Text tab or the Shape & spacing tab. Text controls the font and how big and heavy words are. Shape & spacing controls corners, borders, shadows, spacing, icon size and animation speed. Every value is limited to a safe range so a screen cannot break.

Before you start

  • Pick your scope under Change the look for (Just me, My business or Whole site).
  • A group may be locked by the site owner (Fonts and text; Corners, borders and icons; Spacing; Motion). Locked groups show a lock note.

Tips

  • For a crew that works in sun, try Large text (a ready-made look on the Look tab) or Atkinson Hyperlegible with text size 115%.
  • Compact spacing fits more on a phone screen; Spacious is easier to tap with gloves.
  • A slider drag shows the value next to it. The change is applied when you let go.

If something goes wrong

  • Slider will not go further. Values outside the range are limited to the nearest safe value on purpose.
  • Controls greyed out. The site owner locked that group.
  • My font looks the same. Web fonts load when chosen. Wait a moment and check again.
