Easy Feature Request - Let us set a "default zoom" for Sidebery

[Balls0fSteel]

This one should be pretty easy.

Basically I love using Sidebery zoomed out. What do I mean by that?

Move your mouse to the Sidebery area. Hold CTRL and use MOUSE WHEEL to zoom out (or in).

AND IT IS SO GOOD. So much more tabs fit there, its amazing. But, I have to do it every time. It'd be so good if I could set this as default!

ps.: This is not the same as changing font size in Settings. This gives you a LOT more room to see the tabs, etc.

I tried to do it by CSS, but unfortunately zoom css directive is not supported in Firefox.

Let me know if I'm wrong but can't the <meta> tag's initial-scale property be used for this purpose instead ?

I was looking for the same functionality and I think I just found a solution.

In Sideberry options (right click on plugin icon in upper right corner toolbar -> Open Settings), you can scroll down to Styles Editor (left hand menu bottom) and than on right side, under Tabs (3rd group of settings) I adjusted following parameters

• Height: 20px (it is important to keep the px also in the value to work)
• Font: I changed the default value "0.9375rem sans serif" to "0.7rem sans-serif"

and it gives the same look as if it is zoomed out

AND it preserves this layout after Firefox restart !!

enjoy :)

Thanks for the workaround! This works great but only for tabs.. pinned tabs and tabs panel are still not affected but the font value cuz there's no text on them.

I see there is also an option for Pinned height so you might be able to use that (I don't use pinned tabs). The tabs panel does not matter that much to me, it's only one line and does not take so much space and I have anyway only one Tabs panel.
