Description

This patch improves the readability of Redmine’s default theme by increasing the base font size and switching the font from Verdana to Noto Sans.

The current design of Redmine's default theme was introduced in version 0.6.0, released in 2007. At that time, displays with lower resolutions such as 1024x768px or 1280x800px were common. The default theme's base font size was set at 12px, which is now too small on current high-resolution displays, resulting in poor readability.

This patch addresses this issue by slightly increasing the font size, making the text easier to read on today’s displays. Additionally, the font is changed from Verdana to Noto Sans, providing the theme with a more modern and clean appearance.

  • Target version changed from Candidate for next major release to 6.0.0

I am setting the target version to 6.0.0.

I believe the refreshed appearance introduced by #23980 and #41298 will be further enhanced by the improved readability introduced by the patch.
