I try to change the font size of package explorer in Eclipse from menu Window → Preferences → General → Appearance, and I fail to change the font size. How can I do that? I use Eclipse v4.2 (Juno) on Windows 7.
Go to Preferences > General > Appearance > Colors and Fonts, expand the "Basic" folder and select "Text Font" and change that to whatever size you like.
You could try holding down Ctrl + F7 to see a list of all views, then up/down arrow to the View. If Package Explorer is in the list it has been minimised or something. If you select it and still can't see it, try Window → Reset Perspective... to restore all views to their defaults.
On Juno and up you can adjust that font by CSS.
Lookup the files in eclipse\plugins\org.eclipse.platform_4.2.x.y\css
for your current style sheet (probably e4_default_win7.css
), and then just add the following rule:
#org-eclipse-jdt-ui-PackageExplorer Tree, #org-eclipse-ui-navigator-ProjectExplorer Tree { font-size: 10px; /* <-- Desired font size */ }
Update: stylesheets are in eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.ui.themes_x.x.x.vxxxxx/css
folder since Eclipse 4.4 (Luna).
