I love to see my notes/files as cards and love the card view plugin. However, I find the card view font size to my way too large. What I view as optimal is the card view which is the default view in the Capacities app.
I have opened the tool option for the Obsidian cards view and see that I can change the pixel size but appears to have no effect on the size of the card contents. I simply wish to see more in each card view.
If you mean this plugin https://github.com/jillro/obsidian-cards-view-plugin, I just had a look. I’m not sure if I’d find a use for it, but it looks neat. Thanks!
You can use CSS snippets to change the look of the cards. e.g.
/* decrease the size of all cards */
.card {
zoom: 80%;
}
/* change the body/paragraph font size */
.card p {
font-size: 12px;
}
/* set the h1,h2,h3 heading size slightly larger than the base font size */
.card :is(h1,h2,h3) {
font-size: 1.1em;
}
and so on. You could give a few of those a try.
The below is using:
.card :is(h1,h2,h3) {
font-size: 1.1em;
}
.card p {
font-size: 12px;
}
(on a side note, this test vault needs a cleaning 
)
Thanks very much for your suggestion. I have tried it and it does improve the appearance. It took me some time to create even this simple work around. I did not know at first how to incorporate the css snippets you provided. The instructions seem clear cut until one tries to do it for the first time. 1) After finding out where the snippet might live, it was not clear whether there is a premade destination designed to hold the snippet. 2) After determining that a file needs to be created to hold the snippet, it takes a few moments to determine that a text editor should be used. 3) After seeing that the snippet does not behave as a snippet, then one has to realize that the file type and extension must be changed to “css”. Then it works!!! I have a post on this forum requesting that the DEFAULT functionality of Obsidian be improved by incorporating more of the KEY community plugins and other features controlled by css into the core features. Based on my limited research, this seems to be the number 1 negative that competitor PKM apps use to convince Obsidian users to switch to them: “Obsidian users must spend inordinate amounts of time to bring the app to basic functionality that is already present in OUR (insert the name of the app here) product out of the box.” Sigh.
I linked the how to do css snippets above. I think the steps are fairly clear and well documented.
If you think the documentation is missing a step or unclear, please add an issue here:
