Genie: changing the font for Search Tips

To change the font for the text in the Search Tips box on Genie Search Screens, create a MyGenie.CSS file in the same folder as the Genie.CSS file, and copy the following two styles into it.

.sidemenutxt {font-family: Verdana, Arial, Tahoma; font-size: 8pt; font-weight: Normal; color: #686868; line-height:14px;}

.sidemenuhead2 {font-family: Verdana, Arial, Tahoma; font-size: 8pt; font-weight: Bold; color: #8a8a8a; line-height:14px;}

The first style affects the "Search Tips" text, the second the rest of the paragraphs in the box.

Modify the font-family, etc., in each style as desired.

Note: Depending on the changes you make, you may also want either to modify MyQueries.config to add a <SearchTips> tag to hide the Help link (ShowHelpLink="false"), or also copy the following style to MyGenie.css, and change the font family and size to match what you set for "sidemenutxt". The "a:link" style is more generally used, and will affect other links, e.g., About Genie on the menu.

a:link {font-family: Verdana, Arial, Tahoma; font-size: 8pt; color: #0066CC;}
