Sublime Text 3 how to change the font size of the file sidebar?

Though I have tried to modify "font.size" in classes like "Label_control" and "sidebar_control" in the Package "Theme-Default", the font size of the editor does not change at all. Is there anything different in sublime text3？

Solution

  • The answers are omitting the square brackets, in the case one is creating the file from scratch.

    To recap, for the ST3 users who don't have the Default.sublime-theme file (which is actually the default configuration), the simplest procedure is:

    1. Navigate to Sublime Text -> Preferences -> Browse Packages
    2. Open the User directory
    3. Create a file named Default.sublime-theme (if you're using the default theme, otherwise use the theme name, e.g. Material-Theme-Darker.sublime-theme) with the following content (modify font.size as required):
    [
    {
        "class": "sidebar_label",
        "color": [0, 0, 0],
        "font.bold": false,
        "font.size": 12
    },
]

    For reference, here there is the full file (as found in ST2).
