How can I change the text size of bookmarks in Files / Nautilus?
I have a bunch of bookmarks in Files/Nautilus and would like to reduce the text size of/space taken up by the entries in the left hand bookmarks column, so that I don't have to scroll to access those at the bottom of the list (I use a trackball mouse that has no scroll wheel).
Is this possible? If so, how?

Radiance Theme..
add the below content under the last line in /usr/share/themes/Radiance/gtk-3.20/apps/nautilus.css
file. change the font-size value 12px to your preferred size.
/* for side bar reduced text size */
.nautilus-window placessidebar.sidebar row.sidebar-row {
font-size:12px; }
button.sidebar-button {
min-width: 2px;
min-height: 2px;
margin-top: 0px;
margin-bottom: 0px;
padding: 0;
}
open other file /usr/share/themes/Radiance/gtk-3.20/gtk-widgets.css
and find the below content in around line number 2201.
placessidebar.sidebar row.sidebar-row {
color: shade(@places_sidebar_fg_color, 0.9);
background-image: none;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: top left;
background-color: transparent;
min-height: 12px;
border:none;
text-shadow: none;
}
here i have already changed min-height to 12px to match with font-size as we already declared in nautilus.css
file above.
save the files and reboot to see the change.
Radiance Theme after configuration:
Note: Different GTK themes have different type of arrangements like everything is configured in a single file or some themes like Radiance theme have separate apps folder and nautilus.css file in it. you may have to do trail and errors with the key lines like .nautilus-window placessidebar.sidebar row.sidebar-row
and other fields too as mentioned in above codes.
other configured theme.
Edit: for Adwaita Dark Theme, you can add the same content under the line
@import url("resource:///org/gtk/libgtk/theme/Adwaita/gtk-contained-dark.css");
in /usr/share/themes/Adwaita-dark/gtk-3.0/gtk.css
file
@import url("resource:///org/gtk/libgtk/theme/Adwaita/gtk-contained-dark.css");
/* for side bar reduced text size */
.nautilus-window placessidebar.sidebar row.sidebar-row {
font-size:12px; }
button.sidebar-button {
min-width: 2px;
min-height: 2px;
margin-top: 0px;
margin-bottom: 0px;
padding: 0;
}
placessidebar.sidebar row.sidebar-row {

background-image: none;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: top left;
background-color: transparent;
min-height: 12px;
border:none;
text-shadow: none;
}
Thanks for this. Unfortunately it looks like the theme I'm using (Adwaita-dark) doesn't follow the same structure. I can't find where to make these changes.

Brilliant - thank you!! It turns out that a better solution for my needs was to reduce the space between the entries in the list, but your code snippet included what I needed for that - took me about 10 minutes of trial and error to find it but now I have lots of space for new bookmarks without the need to scroll. Thanks again!

Use Tweaks (gnome-tweaks).
Go to Tweaks > Fonts > Interface and reduced the font size.
You can remove the entries that you have made.
Right click on the entry and click on Remove.

I believe 4n3wv is not asking how to remove them but how to reduce font size of that bookmarks only.

Use Tweaks (gnome-tweaks).
Go to Tweaks > Fonts > Interface and reduced the font size.
You can remove the entries that you have made.
Right click on the entry and click on Remove.
