I’ve recently started playing around with Drupal, one of the best CMSs in my opinion due to its incredible extensibility, easy-to-use administration interface and its impressively large and helpful community.

If you’ve used Drupal before, you’ll no doubt identify with my ballache: the administration interface is somewhat difficult to navigate. There is a module available to aid you in your site’s administration:

Administration Menu module

Download it, unpack it your modules directory and you should see something like this:

Now, i don’t know about you, but 9px for a font size is just a little too small for my liking (since i can barely see a fucking thing!) If you go into the folder of your module on your server, you’ll find the admin_menu.css file. You’ll see the first line of uncommented code is a CSS ID selector called #admin-menu. I made two adjustments to this selector. Firstly, i changed the position to fixed as opposed to absolute (which will force the menu to stick to the top of the page) and i changed the font size from 9px to 13px.

Once i did this, the administration menu module was to my liking… Hope you find these changes helpful too.
