Though I have tried to modify "font.size" in classes like "Label_control" and "sidebar_control" in the Package "Theme-Default", the font size of the editor does not change at all. Is there anything different in sublime text3？

The answers are omitting the square brackets, in the case one is creating the file from scratch.

To recap, for the ST3 users who don't have the Default.sublime-theme file (which is actually the default configuration), the simplest procedure is:

  1. Navigate to Sublime Text -> Preferences -> Browse Packages
  2. Open the User directory
  3. Create a file named Default.sublime-theme (if you're using the default theme, otherwise use the theme name, e.g. Material-Theme-Darker.sublime-theme) with the following content (modify font.size as required):
[
    {
        "class": "sidebar_label",
        "color": [0, 0, 0],
        "font.bold": false,
        "font.size": 12
    },
]

For reference, here there is the full file (as found in ST2).
