change line height in sublime text default theme after changing the font-size

Question

I found this link on stackoverflow: Sublime Text 2 how to change the font size of the file sidebar?

I followed the directions and changed the font size, but now the font is too big with too small of a line height, so it looks stacked on top of each other and cut off, without any room to breathe.

Is there a json label that I can use to change the line height/padding? Thanks.

Solution 1

Go to Preferences>Settings-User and add this two line:

{
    "line_padding_bottom": 3,
    "line_padding_top": 3,
}

Solution 2

Go to Preferences > Browse Packages, then open folder Theme - Default and open file Default.sublime-theme in your editor. Search for sidebar_tree and edit value row_padding. It should be something like this:

{
    "class": "sidebar_tree",
    "row_padding": [8, 3],  // increase second value e.g. [8, 6]
    "indent": 12,
    // ... more definitions ...
},

this sets the padding top and bottom for the code in the file, but does not change the padding of the file sidebar menu.

This should be the answer. Plus if you're using custom theme and [sidebar_tree] does not exist, simply create it and adjust accordingly.
