Managing FCK Editor’s behavior with SageCRM Style sheet

Once I came across a requirement where one of our client wanted to set different default Font type, Font size, Line spacing and Background in Sage CRM’s FCK editor automatically. Changing Font and Size is possible from front end but you need to change it manually every single time you write an Email and also it is only possible once you start typing.

To make it a permanent change I made some modifications in CRM Style sheet, let’s see the workaround below:
I am taking an example of “classic” theme in Sage CRM 7.2 You can change themes under preferences tab.
Go to following path, you will find themes for FCKeditor:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Sage\CRM\crm\WWWRoot\Themes\FCKeditor\default\css
Open fck_editorarea.css file and you can change the parameters as per your requirement, for example I have made some changes below:
body
{
       background-color: blanchedalmond;
       padding: 5px 5px 5px 5px;
       margin: 0px;
}
body, td
{
       font-family: monospace;
       font-size: x-large;
}
/**
* Just uncomment the following block if you want to avoid spaces between
* paragraphs. Remember to apply the same style in your output front end page.
*/
/*
p, ul, li
{
       margin-top: 0px;
       margin-bottom: 0px;
}
*/
You will get following effect as default setting after making above changes, there are lots of possibilities you can achieve using Style sheets.
