The problem you are having is that when you enlarge the buttons you need to remove one or 2 of them to fit. If you look at my screen shot I to wanted bigger bars and could barely read the chat text there are 2 cures i found.


1st this will be for your button enlargement

Location is World of Warcraft\Interface\AddOns\nUI\Layouts\Default\nUI_Layout_Default_Dashboard.lua

-- default button bar configurations

nUI_DefaultConfig.ButtonBars =
{
["nUI_ActionBar"] =
{
btn_size = 70, --53.5,
gap = 2,
anchor = "BOTTOM",
xOfs = 0,
yOfs = 127, --123,
rows = 1,
cols = 12,
page = 1,
nuibind = "nUI_ACTIONBAR",
binding = "ACTIONBUTTON",
label = nUI_L["nUI_ActionBar"],
},

-- the Bliz "bottom left" bar

["nUI_TopLeftBar"] =
{
btn_size = 65, --53.5,
gap = 2,
anchor = "TOPRIGHT",
yOfs = 125, --122,
xOfs = 0,
rows = 1,
cols = 10,
page = 6,
nuibind = "nUI_TOPLEFTBAR",
binding = "MULTIACTIONBAR1BUTTON",
label = nUI_L["nUI_TopLeftBar"],
},

-- the Bliz "bottom right" bar

["nUI_TopRightBar"] =
{
btn_size = 65, --53.5,
gap = 2,
anchor = "TOPLEFT",
yOfs = 125, --122,
xOfs = 0,
rows = 1,
cols = 10,
page = 5,
nuibind = "nUI_TOPRIGHTBAR",
binding = "MULTIACTIONBAR2BUTTON",
label = nUI_L["nUI_TopRightBar"],
},


then for the chat frame, to change the font goto
World of Warcraft\Interface\AddOns\nUI\Main\localization.lua as you scroll down you will see -- next to font's like so:

nUI_L = {};
nUI_Locale = GetLocale();

-- nUI_L["font1"] = "Interface\\AddOns\\nUI\\Layouts\\Default\\Fonts\\ABF.ttf";
-- nUI_L["font1"] = "Interface\\AddOns\\nUI\\Layouts\\Default\\Fonts\\Accidental Presidency.ttf";
-- nUI_L["font1"] = "Interface\\AddOns\\nUI\\Layouts\\Default\\Fonts\\Adventure.ttf";
-- nUI_L["font1"] = "Interface\\AddOns\\nUI\\Layouts\\Default\\Fonts\\Bazooka.ttf";
-- nUI_L["font1"] = "Interface\\AddOns\\nUI\\Layouts\\Default\\Fonts\\Emblem.ttf";
-- nUI_L["font1"] = "Interface\\AddOns\\nUI\\Layouts\\Default\\Fonts\\Enigma__2.ttf";
-- nUI_L["font1"] = "Interface\\AddOns\\nUI\\Layouts\\Default\\Fonts\\Tw_Cen_MT_Bold.ttf";
-- nUI_L["font1"] = "Interface\\AddOns\\nUI\\Layouts\\Default\\Fonts\\VeraSe.ttf";
-- nUI_L["font1"] = "Fonts\\ARIALN.TTF";

nUI_L["font2"] = "Fonts\\FRIZQT__.TTF";
nUI_L["font2"] = "Interface\\AddOns\\nUI\\Layouts\\Default\\Fonts\\Emblem.ttf";

just remove the -- from the font you want to use.

And to make the font size bigger, you do this part ingame.

Game Menu > Itnterface > Social > uncheck lock chat settings, then mouse over the chat frame untill the General Tab apears then right click and set the font to you favorite size, me i use 14.


Hope this helps im sure the 2 pros will explain it a little better. wish i could do the code bozes so he post wanst so long but still la noob to forums.
