VS Code Tree View Font Options

[nrthbound]

Type: Bug

#519

This issue was posted in 2015. It has 457 comments, and has been "on deck" for years and years. It is a SIMPLE ask. I marked it as a bug because there must be an actual, brain-manipulating bug causing the development team to ignore this issue that has an insane amount of attention.

The file tree needs a few simple things. Change the font, font size, and line-height at the very least. This is an accessibility problem that is actually important. I know, Copilot is new and shiny and you can rip off developers code all across GIthub and make money off their hard work. The LEAST you could do is fix this, or give us a reason why it's been ignored. For the love of god, take the 3-5 days it would take to implement this and do it. I know it won't take long because in the developer tools, I've done it with custom CSS in just a few minutes.

On the plus side, at the rate Zed is going, I'll be able to switch and it won't matter to me anymore, but the thousands of other people in that thread (~3000 thumbs ups) would probably like to see this fixed.
