Changing Styles for All Existing Entries / Data?
 
Is there a way to set/change the Normal style so that it applies to all existing content?

I just tested the player view for the first time, and the text from my entries is small enough to be very difficult to read. I would like to increase the font size for all my entries, but I would like to not do that on a one-by-one basis - I already have several hundred entries...

We don't have anything like that in place at the moment.

Just to make sure that this is truly needed for the player view as you state, I just want to make sure you are using player view as intended. There are two views of player view. One is in the tab inside of the main Realm Works window where things will get scaled down to fit and thus may show smaller than actual size. The second is in the actual Player Window. It is intended that you show the players the Player Window and not the tab. I'm attaching some screen shots to give you an idea of what I'm talking about. And apparently, the forum software doesn't like generating a thumbnail from a full 1920 x 1200 image, so I've cropped it to be 960 x 600.

PlayerViewPreview.png is the image within the tab which is smaller than full-size.

PlayerWindow-Cropped.png is the separate window intended to be shown to the players that is full size.

Thank You! And, a Followup Question...
 
OK, so it turns out that I was using the preview window, as opposed to the actual player window, so that part works out. Thank you for setting me straight.

This leads me to another question though. I have an entry that has a simple image associated with it. When I look at it in the (correct) Player View, all I see is a thumbnail - there does not seem to be a way to load the full-sized image.

Click on the thumbnail to show the full-size picture, then select to show the full-size picture in the player view. Don't try to display the snippet in the player view.

Thank you - it's good to know how that's supposed to work. However, that seems pretty clunky to me.

If I am trying to display an NPC in the Player View, I need to launch both the NPC page, and then another one for the image of the NPC, right? I would really rather see it all in one display...

Agreed. I've found that one to be a bit clunky as well, plus you have to make sure that all of it has be set to be revealed. Maybe the nicer way would be if you could just left-click on the thumbnail and you had a drop-down menu with an option to send it to the Player View as a thumbnail or as the full picture (and if the reveal rights are not correct it could ask you if you want to set all of them so they are correct for displaying it to save some steps.)

There is already a right-click menu on the thumbnail with "Show in Player View" option. That will show the full image.

Oh, doh! Sorry about that. The last time I had run a game with it was several months back. I guess I should have checked first before saying anything,

Since it came up, I would still like the ability to update the specifics of the various pre-programmed text styles; as the sort of person who bothered to learn how to replace SegoeUI in Windows 7, I am quite particular about text presentation. Without the ability to customise them, I have not had any use for styles so far.

That said, though, this is kind of a minor gripe and is less prominent in new builds. The main thing I always wanted to do was add spacing between paragraphs to "Normal", but with the new structure I tend to post paragraph-per-snippet, which works better for reveals anyway.

A style related question/feature request:

Obviously RW is by design a sort of pseudo-wiki.

Would it be possible to allow image 'framing' within a text snippet?

Something similar to what occurs when one uses:

<img src="smiley.gif" alt="Smiley face" width="42" height="42">

The reason I ask is when entering PCs, NPCs, creatures, etc. having a small (say no larger than 20% of the snippet width and 40% of its height that one could view and perhaps even click to open the full image (as one can do in MediaWiki and many others) would be very handy.

I realize this may not be possible (since RW is obviously not HTML or WikiText base) but thought I would put it out there...
