The answers are omitting the square brackets, in the case one is creating the file from scratch.
To recap, for the ST3 users who don’t have the Default.sublime-theme file (which is actually the default configuration), the simplest procedure is:
- Navigate to Sublime Text -> Preferences -> Browse Packages
- Open the
Userdirectory - Create a file named
Default.sublime-theme(if you’re using the default theme, otherwise use the theme name, e.g.Material-Theme-Darker.sublime-theme) with the following content (modifyfont.sizeas required):
[
{
"class": "sidebar_label",
"color": [0, 0, 0],
"font.bold": false,
"font.size": 12
},
]
For reference, here there is the full file (as found in ST2).
