I am looking for help with a relatively simple customization project on the
timeline. I am not very experienced with JS, but do know my XML and HTML
pretty sufficiently. I recently completed a historical survey of some laws
here at the library I work at and wanted to create an interactive timeline
to better communicate the changes made over a period of decades. I pretty
much have my timeline set up in terms of outlining my dates, but wanted to
tweak some aspects of it. For instance:

1. My timeline, which I believe is using default setting [I have defined by
event bar colors in my XML however] is placing my text below the event bar
at a rather large font size. In addition, my event duration bars are very
thin. To illustrate the point, here is a screen shot:

2. What I would like to know is: How can I define the font face/size of the
title text that is linked to the event duration bar in the timeline? How can
I place this title text inside the event duration bar rather than underneath
it? How can I adjust the height of the event duration bar so that it does
not appear so thin? If you want to see what I am hoping to achieve, here is
a screenshot from a fellow library’s timeline project that has it set up the
way I would like to get it done [I have tried copying code from their XML
and HTML file, with no luck in locating what I need]:

Any and all help would be much appreciated. I am using what I assume is the
latest API as I have downloaded it just last week. I do not have the code on
a server but I could provide you with the HTML and XML via e-mail if so
requested.

Again, thank you for any and all help you may be able to offer me.
