Any way to make the text black instead of gray?

[jeolson]

When I’m typing to clients on my gigs and/or typing customs offers, the text is a very light gray. Is there any way to change this to black? It’s very challenging to read.

@jeolson Hello, if only this were available. I have a hard time with that too and others have mentioned it. I’ve developed major eye strain lately.

Sadly no. However, you are not alone:

There is a lot of discussion at the moment concerning poor gig audio quality and other Fiverr bugs. However, I would really like to put the spotlight on the real health implications of Fiverr reducing the site font size. When I first started freelancing, I quickly realized that doing so can be detrimental physically. My eyes started feeling tired and my elbow started aching from resting on a desk all day. Thankfully, I managed to mitigate both problems. Right from the start, I invested in a la…

Hopefully, when Fiverr goes down for maintenance on Sunday, a black message font and reasonable size will rise from the ashes like a glorious eyesight preserving Phoenix. If it doesn’t, you’ll just have to buy Hubble Space Telescope strength reading glasses like the rest of us.

There is, actually, a way around it. I’ve been using my own custom styles for a while now, but it does require technical skills.

I have found a extension for Chrome (see here) which might make it easier (I haven’t tested it though) but with a little knowledge of CSS, or hiring someone to write the code it should be possible for anyone to achieve similar results.

I’m on my phone but I might post a picture later of what my custom style looks like in my browser.

Ps: I’m not really looking to sell this as a gig but anyone with a little knowledge of CSS should be able to help anyone attempting this.

This is why Fiverr just needs to fix this. Going to these lengths just to read and send messages is just ridiculous. Well done, though, on finding a solution. 🙂

It’s not just on messages and custom offers that the typeface is pale grey, it’s on the order pages too.

It sounds a bit like this solution (but obviously any code would be different):

By default, you can’t hide it. There are a couple of chrome extensions available with that you can apply specific CSS code to any website. I use Styler Pro chrome extension, with that if I apply the code below, my earning info on top right bar got disappeared. span.user-balance { display: none;}Note: that chrome extension is a 3rd party program, use at your own risk.

I assume a similar thing could be done for the font size, not just font colour.

Though I agree it should be Fiverr fixing any issues like that or giving the user different options.

I also use it for my Fiverr Inbox 😉

CSS CODE

p.message-body {

color: #000;

}

.message-box .message-uploader-container {

border: 1px solid #000;

}

.message-box .textarea-container textarea {

color: #000;}

#conversation .message-flow .message-content .message-body {

font-weight: 500;

}

I understand a little bit about CSS code on a website.

It goes in the header section or up near it to tell the page how it should look.

Where would we install this code? I use chrome.

edit: I’m looking at “advanced font settings” in the chrome webstore. Maybe I can find something there. I have enlarged the font in the settings tab which helps a little.

I found an adjustment that makes the font larger but nothing to make grey fonts black.

I used a third-party program/chrome extension. (use at your own risk.)

[misscrystal]

I found an extension that darkened all the colors so that now the green on fiverr is very deep but the light grey is still there.

Those extention don’t work well, a good option is to adjust CSS codes.

How do I do that? Can I do that in Chrome?

Yu will need to add that chrome extention named Styler Pro

Then add CSS code,

To change the font color on the message box is

p.message-body {    color: #000;}.message-box .textarea-container textarea { 	color: #000;}

again, it’s a 3rd party program, use at your own risk.

That looks easy enough. I’m going to try it later. Thanks.

I assume the “p.message-body” is already part of that extension’s code? So we know where it goes when we see that? So we are just changing the part that says “color” to #000?

This is part of Fiverr web, we assigning a new value to p.message-body selector.

Thanks for sharing the code for this! I may try it.

Here’s what I’ve been using for a while now. I don’t think Fiverr would be too happy of me butchering their design and branding, but the bigger font size and dark background just suits my eyes much better.

It’s been a while but I’ll see if I can find my custom code for this and share here as is

That looks like a chrome extension. That might solve the blue light problem which is probably what is ruining my eyesight.
