Ideally, these are the attributes that I'd like to change so that my header matches my footer:
font-family
color
text-transform

It depends on which firmware version you're using and where you want your header text modifications to be seen:
- main GUI header, e.g. Home screen, My Books list
- the book title in the header whilst reading a kepub
In firmware 4.5.9587, the nickel CSS stream you need to change is the one containing
#StatusBarView. The variable whose CSS you need to modify is
#message.
Making changes to
font-family, color and
text-transform will apply the changes you want to the main GUI header.
Your mods to
color and
text-transform carry through to the kepub book title header. Unfortunately the
font-family mod does not. The kepub header seems to always use the same font-family you have selected from the font menu for the current book. I may be wrong but I assume the kepub reading app is applying some kind of override.
A few firmwares ago, when the old-style tiled Home screen was still the default, you could change the header text appearance by modifying the CSS for the nickel variable called
SmallTouchLabel. In those days I was able to modify its
font-family and
color CSS and have it appear in both main GUI
and kepub header. I never tried
text-transform.
P.S. If your experiments can improve upon what I've said I'll be interested to hear about them
