I'm not talking about the font-size of the editor window, simply the font-size of the text in the main menu bar and the folder/file navigation side panel.

I've googled all over and read through all the docs I could find to no avail. Thanks in advance!

How do I do this in Windows 7?

Sidebar and tab font are modifiable:
Sublime Text 2 how to change the font size of the file sidebar?

The package is now located at /opt/sublime_text/Packages/Theme - Default.sublime-package (for Linux installation).
Extract Default.sublime-theme to ~/.config/sublime-text-3/Packages/User and modify the content.
(This step can be simplified using the PackageResourceViewer package.)

Menu font doesn't seem to be modifiable.

  • You can override existing files using https://github.com/skuroda/PackageResourceViewer – skuroda Feb 05 '14 at 04:55
  • I also came across that package in my research. Does it overwirte package in `/opt/sublime_text/Packages/` or make copy to User folder? The former modification will be lost upon an upgrade. – leesei Feb 05 '14 at 05:25
  • It creates a a folder in the `Packages` directory. It will not be lost upon upgrade. In ST3, plugins can be run directly from the `*.sublime-package` files. That is, unless you choose to override the file, it will not be lost. The default packages, as well as plugins installed through package control (generally) overwrite the sublime-package file. The Packages folder, and it's contents, will be left untouched. There is an exception to this rule with package control, as a developer can choose to have their plugin extracted. However, that doesn't apply to default packages. – skuroda Feb 05 '14 at 05:32
  • I created an answer for this for Mac here, but most of it should apply to windows as well -- http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18288870/sublime-text-3-how-to-change-the-font-size-of-the-file-sidebar/28909217#28909217 – Nate Flink Mar 06 '15 at 23:17

As far as changing the font size in the main menu bar, this can be done through the Windows Control Panel, but any changes will be universal - they'll apply to all applications.

Finding the options to change the menu font and size is kind of complicated, but here's how I do it: Open the Control Panel and select Personalization, then down at the bottom click on Window Color. In the next window that opens, click on Advanced Appearance Settings... to open the Window Color and Appearance window. Click on the menu item Normal and select your preferred font and size, then click Apply to check it out. Hit OK when you're done, save your theme if you want, and you're all set.
