How know the view size?

You don't get any feedback on the percentage of enlargement or reduction in Safari, and you do have to do it for every visit, and every site that opens in a new window or tab.

However, you can create your own custom stylesheet to set a default zoom level for each page, regardless of anything else.

1. Create a file named defaultzoom.css (or any name you choose, as long as you save it with a .css file extension.)

2. Copy and paste the following:

body {
zoom: 150%;
}

*(Note: This 150% value is used as an example only; you should enter the value you want to use.)*

3. Save the file to Home/Library/Safari, then open Safari's Preferences > Advanced section. In the dropdown menu where it says "Style sheet:", click it and navigate to the style sheet you just created and choose it, then close the Preferences window.

4. Quit Safari and restart it, then browse the web as usual, with your new default zoom setting. If you want to change the amount of zoom at any time, open the style sheet and change the value, save it, then refresh the page(s) in Safari.

Hi,

Great TIP from "Golden Shoes" I used a view days ago and ended up with the ideal setting of 130%.

Hi,

Drop it or copy/pst into TextEdit and sane it as plain text.

The extension is .css

Now you have your zoom file ... save it somewhere in the Document folder and op Safari Preferences>Advance now click on "Choose file" and go to the folder you saved the .css file, select it and finish.

body {
zoom: 300%;

What did I do wrong?

It appears that you're missing the closing brace for the property tag. This is what it should say, exactly:

body {
zoom: 300%;
}

And I think 300% is way too much, unless you're legally blind.

In TextEdit, go to the Format menu and it will have an option listed to "Make Plain Text". Choose that and then you can save the file as .css.

The icon it puts on the file makes no difference, but you can change it to open in TextEdit by using the Get Info command on the file and navigating to TextEdit and choosing that as the application to open it with.

If you have it selected as your Style sheet in Safari's Preferences, it should work. Did you try restarting Safari and testing various web sites to see if any of them enlarge automatically? Try the Reset Safari command and uncheck all but the top 5 checkboxes, then click the Reset button and test it again.

Any percentage you change it to, that's what it will be. But you will have to reload the page to see it, since it's not a dynamic item that changes automatically by itself when you make a change.

Hi,

Just set it to 130% as I said in my earlier comment to you.
