Allow user to increase or decrease text size for entire base or just for column headers. Checkbox columns waste so much screen space unless I keep the header of the column to 2-3 letters.
Text size options, especially in column headers
+2How do I edit the size of the header rows? I don’t want my text to get cut-off and the row height adjustment doesn’t seem to apply to headers. It is very odd to me that I can’t even wrap this text. PLEASE HELP!
I second this ^ This seems like a very simple thing yet it makes multi-line headers impossible in grid view. Does anyone know of any workarounds?
+2Would also love to see this updated. Have a few grid views where it’s very annoying to not be able to independently adjust the row height for the headers.
Not only would it be nice to have control over the text size of the headers, but also the ability to independently resize the height of the header line and to be able to specify whether the column widths should word wrap the header text as well. Please allow us to use color and other fonts controls within the header line (like BOLD), etc.
All this time later, is this still not available? I want a column with a simple checkbox but I cannot describe it in 2 letters. Two rows (wrapped) text in the column headings is an absolute necessity!
Just signed up for this service and very surprised that this is an issue… i wish i knew sooner… i do need to have a more condensed column width and text sizing features on the header… takes up too much realestate… !!! also surprised that support hasnt even replied once to all these … ?
I second this. Given airtable’s recommendation to have multiple columns in the same table, and separate using views, header names can become super long. Eg. for different platforms in different months, I’ve got headers like “Wayfair units jan 20”, “Wayfair units feb 20”, “Amazon units mar 20”, “Walmart units jan 20” etc.
With these long headers, tables become unreadable. Simply changing the header height is important, independent of the body. The body only needs extra height for long text, but headers can use it for any data type.
Would love to see this get prioritized.
+6Adjustment of font size, header height &/or angle, and more format flexibility in the grid view is a must to make more efficient use of screen size and layout. Anyone aware if this will be a forthcoming feature?
+1I guess I’ll just add on to a vote for this, even though it seems to have been years with no movement on it :\

I totally agree. I spent so much time setting up Airtable only to find that it is very difficult if not impossible to read the headers. Maybe the developers think it’s “cool” to have such a small and faint font, but one day they will be over 40 and see that it is anything but. I am so sorry to have spent all this time building a table only to not be able to use it. This is definitely not ADA compliant.
The faint text, basically grey on grey doesn’t even seem to meet accessibility criteria. I can’t understand how this hasn’t been addressed.
Suffice to say, another vote for this thread!
+4Another vote for this thread! Need to be able to expand the height of the header in the same way as row height to allow for more visibility of titles without having to expand horizontally.
+2Yes please. Allowing multi-line column headers would make the presentation of larger tables with similar field titles much better.
