Headers sizes and color inside posts and pages

[qn7o]

I know it's a hairy layout decision to make because there isn't really any good solution to this, but still, I might be worth to give it some attention.

I'm a bit confused about the headers sizes (examples in attachment).

Is it normal that inside a post, a top level header (h1) is bigger (50px) than the post's title itself (40px) ? Same goes for h2 (40px), which is the same size. On top of that, headers inside posts are darker than the post's title, which automatically gives them some sort of prevalence.

While writing, it leads me to pick h3 as top level headers, so the final aspect isn't misleading. It's something I really often see in Wordpress themes and it always seemed wrong to me.

Possibilities:

• won't fix: perhaps it's exactly like that in Ghost, and you prefer to keep it that way
• won't fix: if it really bothers the writer, he can still use the h3 workaround
• fix: lower the headers' size and eventually make them just a bit brighter
• fix: make the post's title bigger (but I think it's just perfect the way it is right now)
• fix: use a different font for the main title than for the inner headers (delicate choice)

An example that handles it a bit better (imo): Filtered, by ThemeTrust (http://themetrust.com/demos/filtered/?page_id=2). But it's not perfect: inner h1 is still bigger (32px) than the main title (29px). Although you can note that they use different fonts: Droid Serif for the main title, Droid sans for the inner content.

Hope that helps.

I think it's not a big deal. You can change the header size to whatever you want. For example with the built-in WordPress-Editor, which you've already mentioned elsewhere.

If you want to keep your changes in the css, even if the theme get's an update, a child theme is a good solution.

This is way too annoying to be monkey patched using the built-in css editor. But if @lacymorrow doesn't fix it, I'll take a shot at the child theme (didn't know that feature, thanks a lot for the link).

I figure it is just something that ghost does since I didn't design that specifically. Let me see if there are any good reasons to keep it but will probably fix: lower the headers' size.
I don't intend to brighten as it makes the in-post headers stand out a bit from the post title

@lacymorrow sweet, thanks for your time :)

Decided to leave as-is, since ghost casper version whatever decided the same and this is a port. Users can change in css themselves.

recommend installing from http://wordpress.org/themes/casper/ for automatic updates

Thank you @ABourguignon !

Hey Lacy,

Ok. By the way, perhaps it might be worth it to include this URL in the README; I didn't know it was available there and installed it using this Github repo (therefore no updates) ;)

thanks for the heads up!

Due to popular demand, going to implement this.
