Ok, thanks to the posts here I’ve managed to kind of centre it - and to be honest it’s much better than the way it was, so even if it’s not 100% centred, at least it’s now visible to a customer - so thanks for the info.



My only question now is how to change the size of it. I would like to make it slightly larger with slightly larger font.



I’m no coding expert by any means, I’m pretty good at cutting and pasting though :slight_smile:



If anyone has any suggestions on how to increase the size of the box and the font as well that would be great - could you please kindly supply the code if you are able to answer this one.



Thanks

Cathy

This is what we use to center the notifications:

.cm-notification-container {
right: 50%;
margin-right: -137px;
top: 50%;
margin-top: -27px;
position: fixed;
z-index: 16;
}




Having right: 50% would put the right side of the container at the exact center of the screen. Using a negative margin of -137px shifts it to the right, assuming the container itself is always 274px wide.



The same trick is used for vertical centering: 50% centers the top of the container and a negative top margin shifts it back up. The 27px is based on most single-notification containers being 54px high.

Thanks JohnDoe, works nice!

i think you should learn some basic css [url]http://www.w3schools.com/css/default.asp[/url] :slight_smile:



use font-size: and width/height on your container to increase everything.

Yes, I definitely should spend some time learning the basics - have managed to get it looking the way I need it to. Thanks for the link :slight_smile:

Works GREAT for some of the notifications… but not all. Does anyone know where the CODE is that controls the other notifications? For example, when a user has to request their password, that sent notification still appears in the upper right corner; any idea where that style sheet is?



Thanks.

And in 2.1.4 its changed. The notification is a “Loading Box” That has the same issues.
