At the moment, we can only change the font size / font of the editor. If we want to change the font size, we need to use a roundabout method of "zooming in / out". It would be nice if this could be adjusted through the preferences.

Further to this, it seems weird that if I want larger fonts outside of the editor I have to zoom in each time I restart.

v1.4.0 seemed to make the file explorer fonts larger/bolder, making it harder to traverse a large directory

Does the new UI theming interface give access to the font size?

In addition, I would like to increase the line spacing in the explorer. File names are way too close to each other and is fatiguing to look at.

Ha, I was gonna suggest exposing line height so I could decrease it and pack more files into each screen.

just to add another reason:

  • changing the Explorer to a monospaced font is easier to read when scanning for files

I'm still using Pulsar Editor, the descendent of Atom Editor. Highly customizable UI with simple styles. And this issue is still holding me from using VS Code. Yes, Pulsar has fewer features, not so well supported in such direction, but at least there are very communicable maintainers, helped a lot with different errors, third-party packages, etc.

zed is so far okay but language server config is a pain. and some other customization is lacking

The current default font is too light and not sharp or bold enough, resulting in insufficient contrast in light mode, making it hard to read. For dark mode it's ok, for light mode it's a disaster

the left is vsc with the default light modern theme and the right is jetbrains fleet with default light theme. The comparison may not be very accurate. Yet clearly, the right one is much easier to read. For now to fix this I have to use custom css loader plugin or fonted, both of which require modify the src code resulting vsc prompts corrupted. It would be lovely this option is provided

Happy 2025! 🎄🎉🥳

This issue is now a full-fledged 10-year-old! 🎂 It's practically ready for middle school and deserves some Christmas gifts at this point. How you've grown, little issue.
here's to many more comments in the thread! 🥳

They should use the Inter font family. Far more readable.
