How to increase menu and tab font size in IntelliJ JetBrains PyCharm, PhpStorm, RubyMine

Question

I understand how to increase the font size within an editor tab, but I'd like to increase the font size of the main navigation menu and most importantly, the tab titles. These do not change when I zoom in or out of an editor tab (using Cmd + mouse wheel on OSX). I do not see anything in the preferences menus.

Solution 1

1. Settings/Preferences
2. Appearance & Behavior | Appearance
3. Enable Use custom font option -- it will allow to change font used for GUI as well override its size.

In older (2018.2 and older) that option was named Override default fonts by:

Solution 2

Update to version 2019.3

Goto File | Settings | Appearance & Behavior | Appearance

Enable Use custom font:Tahoma Size:12

In 2018.3 the option is called "Use custom font" where you can set font style and size. Same setting dialog...Appearance & Behavior | Appearance

@AhmedAbdelhak Goto File | Settings | Editor | Color Scheme | (PHP,CSS,HTML...)

This is a reminder for future me: there is an option in Editor > General > Editor Tabs window called "Use small fonts for labels". If you uncheck this, the tab font size will increase, without having to change the entire UI font.

2021.3 macOS version is randomly making size 13 look like 8, and 14 looks like 20. Random 😃
