Change Project Explorer tree view font size in Eclipse Oxygen

I am using Eclipse Version: Oxygen.1a Release (4.7.1a) and I want to enlarge the Project Explorer tree view font size because I have some sight issues and thus I searched many places to enlarge the project tree view font size.

I only founded the font change in project explorer tree view for older eclipse versions releases which are older or equal to Eclipse Luna version.

For the information I would like to say that this Oxygen version release is latest in Eclipse IDE.

Solution

  • In Eclipse the font-sizes of the UI elements can be adjusted in the following preferences values:

    Increase java editor font size

    Window Menu -> Preferences -> General > Appearance > Color and Fonts > Java > Java Editor Text Font > Edit & Apply

    Increase console output font size

    Window Menu -> Preferences -> General > Appearance > Color and Fonts > Debug > Console font > Edit & Apply

    Increase XML bean file font size

    Window Menu -> Preferences -> General > Appearance > Color and Fonts > Basic > Text Font > Edit & Apply

    Increase dialog view font size

    Window Menu -> Preferences -> General > Appearance > Color and Fonts > Basic > Dialog Font > Edit & Apply

    Increase project explorer tree view font size

    enter image description here

    If using Windows 7 or higher architecture, then reach to the Eclipse home directory, go inside of eclipse\plugins\org.eclipse.ui.themes_X.X.X.vXXXXXXXX-XXXX\css directory, find two css files which are "e4_default_gtk.css" and "e4_default_win.css", open and add below said CSS script part in tail of above two files, save those and close accordingly:

    .MPart Tree {
    font-family: Consolas;
    font-size: 14;
}

    If Eclipse is opened, restart, it all worked for me on Eclipse oxygen.1a release version, and hope on other OS type, you have to edit the same e4_default_gtk.css and other e4_default_os-type.css.
