Can I change the font size of the Xcode IDE?

I would like to change the font size in the Groups and Files panel of the Xcode IDE. I know how to change the “Fonts and Colors” in the settings, but those (it seems) affect only the code window, and not the rest of the IDE. Any ideas? Thanks!

I believe that you can resize the Groups and Files panel by setting the PBXTableFontSize parameter to ~Library/Preferences/com.apple.Xcode.plist . To do this, you must first install PBXTableFont.

1) Run defaults write com.apple.Xcode PBXTableFontSize 20 in the terminal, replacing 20 with whatever value you want to use.

2) Run defaults write com.apple.Xcode PBXTableFont Helvetica in the terminal, replacing Helvetica font you want to use. I'm not sure OS X defaults to Sans Serif, but Helvetica is pretty generic.

I also wanted to do this. This is ridiculously small!

No, I don’t think it’s possible - unless you want to start hacking the internal structure of Xcode. I would request a request for improvement.
