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

Answer 1

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).

Ubuntu 18.04

Default.sublime-theme file works unless you have installed a theme. If you did, go to your theme's github repo and download the your_theme.sublime-theme file and put it in your 'User' folder. In that file, find "class": "sidebar_label", add "font.size":16 to that section.

Answer 3

You need to change it at "class": "sidebar_label" Example, in your .sublime-theme file:

// Sidebar entry
{
    "class": "sidebar_label",
    "color": [212, 212, 213],
    "shadow_offset": [0, 0],
    "font.size":13
}

Some limited flexibility is available if your using the Afterglow Theme.

You can edit your user preferences in the following way.

Sublime Text -> Preferences -> Settings - User:

{
    "sidebar_size_14": true
}

I use Soda Dark 3 with icons enabled. So by just renaming it erases all the icons enabled with it. So I just leave the Default as it is and created a new file Soda Dark 3.sublime-theme and just have the following in the content

[
{
    "class": "label_control",
    "color": [150, 25, 25],
    "shadow_color": [24, 24, 24],
    "shadow_offset": [0, -1],
    "font.size": 16,
    "font.bold": true
},

]

So in Mac is it at /Users/gugovind/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 3/Packages/User/

On Ubuntu, for versions of Sublime older than 3.2, what worked for me was changing the dpi scale in Preferences > Settings — User by adding this line:

"dpi_scale": 1.10 

For Sublime 3.2, you can use the following line instead:

"ui_scale": 1.10

Adjust the scale value as needed. After this change, you have to restart Sublime Text for it to take effect.
