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.

There was not recommended settings only for specific fonts. What do you mean under 'line space' ? — Igor Konoplyanko, Jul 23 '13 at 10:36
Project view is a tree with nodes, font line spacing doesn't control the gaps between the nodes. — CrazyCoder, Jul 23 '13 at 12:14
@CrazyCoder, is that possible to reduce the space between nodes somehow? — Eugene, Jul 24 '13 at 09:02
No, it's not possible. Why do you need it? I don't recall anyone ever requested it. — CrazyCoder, Jul 24 '13 at 11:32
@CrazeCoder, Just to save some space, to see more so to say :) — Eugene, Jul 24 '13 at 14:15

I need this too!! Having no line spacing for the editor is silly, especially when you can change the font size — yazz.com, Apr 26 '15 at 07:47

Found solution in IDEA ticket (thanks for support help!):

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

Value 20 is perfect for me

Макс Ветер answer is only for Paid feature for the theme, this way works great, thank you – Ke Vin Jun 24 '21 at 04:40
It works, however the value is not persisted and gets back to 28 in my case when the IDE is restarted. – cvigo Jul 05 '21 at 07:14

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

It does reduce the spaces between nodes in the Project View. – Duke Jan 21 '19 at 18:46

This menu item seems to be (re)moved in some later version. I can't find it on 19.3.3. Do you happen to know where it has been moved? – Michiel Haisma Jan 31 '20 at 09:15

@MichieI Haisma, still see it in the Project view, as of 2020/07/31. Maybe it was added back? – Michael Goldshteyn Jul 31 '20 at 13:53
Just perfect. Typing 10/12/14 also works in 2020.3 version. default min is 18. – Doogle Jan 30 '21 at 07:43

Updated: The Material Theme is a paid subscription (1.5€/month) theme now. The Answer from @shooma works perfect! – Fabian Marz Apr 13 '21 at 09:15

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

That 'Line Spacing' only increase it in code editor. Do you know how to achieve the same in project file list tab? – mc.dev Dec 16 '19 at 22:48

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