Why is there quite a lot of text used in the themes which every word starts with a capital letter.?
Can this be changed easily through a css adjustment.

Yes. Please make use of Firefox or Chrome firebug like dev tool to inspect the code in question and then change it in base.css
Windows shortcut. Ctrl+shift+c

Thanks Marcus, but I actually asked if there is a code or a change in the css to change this.

I told you brother to use that tool which will tell ya which css class needs to be changed in order to change font-weight.

Sorry Marcus, we may seem too stupid to solve these things in your eyes, but we are not developers.

Buddy am just saying that oxwall html contains hundreds of classes there is no magic code that will take care of them all. You need to find the text you wanna change get their class find that class inside global.css and change it.
Maybe at least say what text you wanna change.

The reason I keep on pushing this tool or similar for this matter is case it let's you edit live code right from your browser, you can see everying happening live.

Editing the .CSS of the theme and looking for all "uppercase" you find them all. Looking for them one by one can take too many hours.
Correcting them one by one by adding more rules will slow down the web.
All the "styles" that the navigator receives processes, orders, cancels contradictory orders, prioritizes those that put "! Important" .... If instead of sending all that you send it already digested you will send much less Kb per page (oh! , surprise, more speed)
All the styles that you see crossed out with the FireBug console (I use Chrome's F12, I think it's similar) are idiotic bytes that you have sent again and again, or I remember that the Internet, in the background, is just text and is not sent compiled and digested. We are talking about HTML and CSS, every byte counts. A "text-transform: uppercase;" and an additional carriage return is 26 bytes ... for each page title, each widget title ... And perhaps that text was already capitalized.
I do not need to be the subject that transforms the texts, I think the admin should take care of capitalizing what he deems appropriate.

Thank you Patricia, it is a huge amount of work (which we do not have the time for) plus it makes the website slower.!
We will not start with it, we thought that a code or a series of codes could solve that problem.
We ourselves find it very strange, to start every word with a capital letter, but that is perhaps personal.
Many thanks for your thoughts Marcus and Patricia.

Hi Rob!
Try this custom CSS. I don't know if it will work, if you tell us which theme are you using, I give you better assistance. Give it a try and let us know if it works:
html, body, div, span, applet, object, iframe, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, p, blockquote, pre, a, abbr, acronym, address, big, cite, code, del, dfn, em, font, img, ins, kbd, q, s, samp, small, strike, strong, sub, sup, tt, var, b, u, i, center, dl, dt, dd, ol, ul, li, fieldset, form, label, legend, table, caption, tbody, tfoot, thead, tr, th, td {
text-transform: none !important;
}

As soon as we have time for it Senior Developer, we will try.!
We use the theme Oxygen, which with a number of others themes have been taken over by DL DATE SOLUTIONS but they have not yet placed the themes back in to the store.
With regards,

There is also a php function ucwords() which capitalizes the first letter of each word in a string.

There is also a ucfirst function as well.

Senior Developer, we have implemented your solution and it works as far as we can see.
The annoying uppercase letters have been changed to regular letters thankfully.
It may be something personal, but we find it annoying that every word with a capital letter negates.
Now, fortunately, it has changed.
Thank you very much for your solution.
