ipMonitor 7 supports the ability to change default formatting options using Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) by modifying the override.css file.

This tip requires a basic understanding of HTML and CSS. Learning resources can be found here: http://www.w3.org/Style.CSS/learning.

ipMonitor uses two files, style.css and override.css to help format its dynamically rendered HTML pages. Style.css is changed with each ipMonitor update, while override.css is initially a blank file, and will never be altered by updates or patches.

Modifying the override.css file allows you to override any of the exposed CSS settings present in the style.css file.

Since the Statistics and Configuration Interfaces are separate and unique, there are two sets of style.css and override.css files.

• The CSS files that override default formatting for the Statistics Interface can be found in the \ipMonitor7\wwwroot\stats\ folder.
• The CSS files that override default formatting for the Configuration Interface can be found in the \ipMonitor7\wwwroot\cfg\ folder.

To modify the font size of the text displayed in the Details Real-time Status View, proceed with the following:

1. Open the \ipMonitor7\wwwroot\stats\override.css file with Notepad, or another text editor.
2. Insert the following line of CSS code:
   body.detail td {font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px !important; margin: 0px;}
3. Save the file and refresh the Details Real-Time Status page to view your formatting changes.
