How do I change the fonts used in the LiClipse PyDev Package Explorer? I find them a little bit on the small side.
There's no special configuration inside Eclipse for that... (LiClipse/PyDev just provides what's default in Eclipse here).
For more information and workarounds see:

How can I (programmatically) bold a folder\file in Project Explorer in Eclipse?
Just like Visual Studio, which bolds the start-up project:
Use Resource Decorator Plug-in. You can control the foreground and background color of resources but cannot make them bold.

I have updated package explorer font size by as per the answer in the post
Mac os X Eclipse Package Explorer view , project folders in smaller size in mac theme CSS and it works well. But when I update a java or properties file, it font size is reset to the default(I am unable to find what is the default size). I enabled Maven and Git for my project, how to retain the same font size even after updating the files.
The configuration is present in eclipse>preferences>change colors and fonts > Git > Uncommitted Change Font.
I have tried using Eclipse E4 on Eclipse 4.2 (Juno) and it worked well. I have tried using Dark Theme provided by Github on this link but only missed darkening minimized views and also the menubar. Also, I've tried using Eclipse Color Theme to provide a Sublime Text look on my editors. But that is not the real question.
Though Eclipse 4.2 (Juno) supports themeing, is there a way we could install a software similar to Eclipse E4 on Eclipse 3.7 (Indigo)? (With the exception of Eclipse Color Theme)
For me this plugin is great:
https://github.com/jeeeyul/eclipse-themes (for eclipse 4.2+)
After install go to Pereferences → General → Appearance and Choose Jeeeyul's Themes in the Pulldown.
Then go to Pereferences → General → Appearance → Chrome Theme and adjust for your needs.
In the upper right corner of this Panel, you can also coose " Presets", but there are no nice one for dark-Theme, so i had made my own.
There seems no import and export, but if you want to try my, copy this file to
./configuration/net.jeeeyul.eclipse.themes/user-presets.xml
And Choose it as dev_pool in 'User's presets'
File: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/60080800/user-presets.xml
It looks like this:
The Eclipse theme only seams to apply on the editor’s window and set area like Project Browser , Outline, Task windows etc seems unchanged. I have downloaded the themes form the Eclipse Market place but it has no effect. Is that the way it suppose to work or something is wrong with my Eclipse on installation.
I have manage to change the Java doc and Declaration Windows manually form the
Windows ->Presences -> Color and Fonts
Plus I have tried putting pref files in the workspace as suggested by Eric in his blog :-

and Theme generator

I wonder how did Aptana studio manage to change in the Eclipse plugin
I think there is no way to change those part of eclipse except the editor window. You can download lots of theme from Eclipse Theme. Also note that there is a plug-in available,here . It comes preloaded with many themes. After installing, Go to **Window->preference->search for theme and choose from variety of themes.
You can use Aptana plugin for Eclipse to change almost all the panels' view:
Follow the link [Download Aptana Studio], choose "Eclipse Plug-in Version", then click on Download button. You'll be redirected to Installation page. Follow that installation guide.
In Eclipse menu select Preferences > Aptana Studio > Themes
Choose any theme that fits you the best (this will change editor view only).
Click on 3 check boxes below: Apply to all (non-Studio) views, Apply to all (non-Studio) editors, Apply editor font to views.
Click Apply or OK button.
And voila! Theme is applied globally.
UPDATE.
Unfortunately, this solutions doesn't work for ALL the panels. Some Perspectives cannot be modified by those actions.
http://marketplace.eclipse.org/content/eclipse-moonrise-ui-theme
go to this link
and follow instructions carefully!
*****Install the plugin;
Restart Eclipse and go to Window > Preferences > General > Appearance;
Select MoonRise (standalone) or, for a little better tabs decoration, install Eclipse 4 Chrome Theme from marketplace or from here and select MoonRise;*****
this must change your Project Browser , Outline, Task windows etc.
cheers!
I'm talking about Eclipse (3.5 = Galileo), running under Kubuntu 9.10 and I have the Subversive plugin.
I've been moved from Gnome-Ubuntu to Kubuntu, and one side effect was that some fonts are now just too tiny to read.
File names in the explorer have a decent size, but folders are shown in a too-small font, and after having adjusted all the fonts in General|Appearance|Colors and Fonts the folders are unchanged.
Maybe I'm just blind. I'd appreciate it if someone could point me to where I can adjust the font for folders in the Package Explorer
Eclipse is supposed to respect the OS settings but it turns out on Mac OS X the default setting for eclipse is to use small Fonts rather than the standard os fonts. On Mac OS X you can change edit the eclipse.ini file and remove -Dorg.eclipse.swt.internal.carbon.smallFonts restart eclipse and presto you will find that your package explorer looks brilliant with reasonable sized fonts.
To find the eclipse.ini on a Mac, right click on Eclipse.app, then select "show package contents", then you will find the ini file in Eclipse.app/Contents/MacOS/eclipse.ini
It'll use the default GTK+ font settings, as Eclipse is a GTK application. You may have to install Gnome's Appearance preference applet to get a GUI to change it.
Feedback on success:
It seems that in Kubuntu, any fonts not explicitly specified in Eclipse's preferences come from the system. Eclipse is a Gnome app, so its fonts (among other stuff) are controlled by
System Settings | Appearance | GTK+ Appearance
...and there I was able to fiddle the fonts to my satisfaction.
My thanks to Andrew Aylett!
