Build Identifier: 

Hey. Absence of changing font size in explorers is something that bugs me most since I started using eclipse 5 years ago.

If you switch from 24" screen to laptop, it gets smaller due to resolution change, but on laptop (15" / 17") every inch of free place is good. And without changing font size it spreads across 1/3 of the screen horizontally. File/Directory names are to long too many of them...

Right now, I simply cannot use laptop for development. Mostly due to explorers size.

I know I can change font size in Operating system, but that always affects other fonts in OS and on some operating systems  it's not that easy

Please consider implementing this feature.

Reproducible: Always
