VSCode: change font size of menu bars?

Time:03-01

A potentially very stupid question, but I'm lost.
How do I change the font size of the menu bars (i.e. the labels "File", "Edit", "Selection", "View", ...) including the sidebar explorers, extension menus etc. (i.e. every text that is not the main coding window)?

I tried searching the user settings for "font" but I did not see any option specific for the menu font size.
I was also not able to find it via Googling.
The version of VSCode I currently have is 1.63.2 I am sure I missed something and apologies in advance for this simple-minded question.

CodePudding user response:

Press Ctrl Shift P to bring up the command palette and run the View: Zoom In or View: Zoom Out command. The default keybindings for these commands are Ctrl and Ctrl -.

There is also an extension called Zoom Bar which adds the overall zoom level to the status bar.

This will zoom your main coding windows as well, but you can work against that by adjusting your editor font size in your JSON settings:

"editor.fontSize": 14

Increase or decrease this depending on your zoom level.
