Card view size

What I’m trying to do

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.

Things I have tried

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 :sweat_smile:)
