How to adjust the Bible default font size

5/16/2020

This topic describes how to adjust the Bible display settings once and for all verses.
This topic is about Bible verses. However, you can apply the same method to adjust all song lyrics.
To change the Bible default font, proceed as follows:

1. Display a Bible verse, to see how it gets rendered in the preview area.
You will be able to see instantly the result of your font style changes.
Any Bible verse will do.

2. Click on the "Bibles" button, to the right of the "Songbooks" button:

This will set the VideoPsalm style level to the "Bibles".
Alternatively, select the "Bibles" style level in the toolbar:

From now on, until you change the style level, all changes will be done at this style level ("Bibles").

3. In the toolbar, in the "Text" tab, in the "Font" group, adjust the font size to 70:

By default, the Bible font size is around 100, but 70 may fit better.

This is all there is to do.

The new font size will apply to all verses of all Bibles that you have (and others that you may later get), except for those Bible verses where you individually set another font size.
See the links at the end of the article about VideoPsalm cascading styles.

4. Save your changes:

Wipe all Bible customization
You may have accidentally set specific style attributes to some Bible verses, chapters, books, etc.
While the "Bibles" style is selected, delete all the above style attributes:

This will delete all styles customization at following style levels: Bible, Testament, Bible book, Chapter and Bible verse.
For example text color that you have previously set at some Bible verses.
These style attributes have priority over the style changes made at the "Bibles" level, so it is good to remove them, now that you did the changes at the "Bibles" level.

​Save your changes:

Changes that you make to Bibles may be ignored, depending on how your options are configured.
Make sure that the following option is selected:

Additional read
VideoPsalm uses the concept of cascading style attributes, enabling you to define in a few clicks the style at any level: song verse, song, songbook, all songbooks, base.

The following articles explain how to make best use of cascading styles (the articles often consider the background, however the same principle applies to all style settings like font, colors, font size, etc.):
How to change the background of a song or a whole songbook - Cascading styles part one
How to assign a background to a song verse or to the whole song - Cascading styles part two

Hello,

Is there a way for the heading to show the Bible verses being used, such as 'Ephesians 3:1-21' apart from doing a separate slide that says that? Thanks.

Hi Colin,

By default, the header shows the Bible verse (the reference), and the footer displays the Bible translation name.
You can adjust this, see following articles:
