Answer 1

Find your phpMyAdmin directory.

   cd themes

You may see more than one theme, and you want to make changes in the theme you are using -- phpMyAdmin lets you choose your theme. I use the original theme, so I made changes there.

Go to the css directory of the theme

   cd original/css /* or your preferred theme */

Use a text editor like nano to modify theme_right.css.php

   nano theme_right.css.php

Search for 2 style definitions

   .CodeMirror pre
   .CodeMirror textarea

Both will show "font-size: inherit" or font-size:inherit!important

Change to

    font-size: 16px; /* or whatever you prefer */

Save and reload phpMyAdmin Note that you may need to clear your browser cache for these changes to appear.
