How to change line space in Project window?

Question

Is it possible to change line space for Project window only in Intellij IDEA? I've seen "Overrride default fonts" in Settings which is "not recommended". Is there a recommended way to do that? Thanks.

Answer 1

LaF Default solution does not work after restart IntelliJ IDEA 2024.1.1

I solved this by

1. Help -> Edit Custom Properties...

2. Add height value - 20 or whatever you need

   ide.override.Tree.rowHeight=20

3. Restart IDEA

Answer 2

LaF Default solution of @shooma is still working.

Here are the steps: First Three steps is still the same as @shooma's solution but need further steps to apply your changes.

1. Enable "Internal Mode"
2. Open "Find Action" (Ctrl-Shift-A), find "LaF Defaults" and press Enter
3. Find "Tree.rowHeight" property and change it

Here are the next new steps

1. Go to Settings > Appearance

2. Change Font Size to anything (e.g: 13)

3. Apply ( you should be able to see the difference, you can try rowHeight 40 to see big difference )

4. -optional- Change it back to your Font Size (you may not need this step if you are satisfied with your current font size)

Answer 3

You can create a Plugin Theme, and set Tree.rowHeight and List.rowHeight to X.

I solved this by using Material Theme. Settings -> Appearance & Behavior -> Material Theme -> Project View -> Custom Sidebar Height.

I think it's possible only for editor. You can change it using this settings panel:
