You are in luck! I had the exact same problem, right down to the same monitor size.

There is some useful information here about theme customization.

Basically, just like settings, you can override the values of a theme with a file named the same as the theme's file but stored in your User folder. In this case that is predawn-DEV.sublime-theme, although Sublime Text 2 users would use predawn.sublime-theme.

Since I've already done the modifications that you need, I've uploaded my file for you: predawn-DEV.sublime-theme

You can download the file in a zip or click on raw and save it directly. It must be placed in the following location of your Sublime Text config folder hierarchy.

Packages/User/predawn-DEV.sublime-theme

If you edit my file you will be able to change the size of the following things:

• The tab bar height (overrides the various "predawn_tabs" size settings)
• The font size of tabs
• The font size of sidebar headings (i.e. GROUP NUM and FOLDERS labels)
• The font size of sidebar file names

Change each value a little at a time and the modifications will appear as soon as you save the file, allowing you to fine tune the values until you get them just right.

Much to my surprise the font sizes can be fractions, e.g. 11.5, I had no idea that ST could do that. It works with the "font_size" setting in Preferences.sublime-settings as well.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for help here! Glad you sorted it out. I'll take a look later to see if I can help with the issue with font cutting off. I think I might have discussed that in another Issue.

Glad to help.

I think you should post a screen capture of it.

Did you try as big as "tab_height": 50?
