How to customize Chrome devtools fonts

Raw

chrome-devtools.md

Enable #enable-devtools-experiments flag in chrome://flags section.
Open Chorme Devtools and check Settings > Experiments > Allow extensions to load custom stylesheets.

Create the following four files in a dedicated folder.

3.1. devtools.html

<html>
<head></head>
<body><script src="devtools.js"></script></body>
</html>

3.2. devtools.js

var x = new XMLHttpRequest();
x.open('GET', 'style.css');
x.onload = function() {
    chrome.devtools.panels.applyStyleSheet(x.responseText);
};
x.send();

3.3. style.css

body.platform-windows,
body.platform-linux,
:host-context(.platform-windows),
:host-context(.platform-linux) {
    --monospace-font-size: 12px !important;
    --monospace-font-family: "Consolas", monospace !important;
    --source-code-font-size: 12px !important;
    --source-code-font-family: "Consolas", monospace !important;
}

.monospace {
    font-size: var(--monospace-font-size);
    font-family: var(--monospace-font-family);
}

.source-code {
    font-size: var(--source-code-font-size);
    font-family: var(--source-code-font-family);
}

3.4. manifest.json

{
    "name": "Custom Chrome Devtools Theme",
    "version": "1.0.0",
    "description": "A customized theme for Chrome Devtools.",
    "devtools_page": "devtools.html",
    "manifest_version": 3
}

Open Chrome Extensions tab, click Load expanded extension and point to the folder containing all four files.

}

.platform-linux {
    font-family: 'SF Pro Text', sans-serif !important;
    font-size: 12px ; /* optional */
}

I don't know, i've never tried a such type of font. Google it...

I think it uses the 'monospaced' font defined in your OS.

arcanisgk commented Aug 9, 2021

I do not think so; I am investigating because it happens that the devtool html code viewer works correctly but when I try to use monospace in a web rendering ... the characters gain or lose space and everything is out of square ...

i find this in a spanish forum:

Hi,

I use Google chrome Version 98.0.4758.102 (Official Build) (64-bit) on Linux, and the above .css file does not switch the monospace/source code font everywhere in Chrome devtools, e. g. in the "Sources" tab, or in the "Computed" layout tab when examining CSS.
I had to add something like below to your current .css content in order to make this work:

.platform-linux, :host-context(.platform-linux) {
  --monospace-font-size: 11px !important;
  --monospace-font-family: <mypreferredfont>, monospace !important;
  --source-code-font-size: 11px !important;
  --source-code-font-family: <mypreferredfont>, monospace !important;
}

Maybe something to look into.
Thanks

nifanic commented May 19, 2022

Looks like !important is not necessary when overriding these CSS vars:

.platform-mac,
:host-context(.platform-mac) {
  --monospace-font-family: "SF Mono", Monaco, Consolas, monospace;
  --source-code-font-family: "SF Mono", Monaco, Consolas, monospace;
}

cnscorpions commented Oct 31, 2022

@eltriplet @abrhambas01

I took a quick look and it doesn't look like the width of these tabs is fixed in the css. They should grow according to the content. You could force a min-width or auto. Something like this:
.tabbed-pane-header-tab {
    min-width: 80px !important;
    width: auto !important;
    font-family: Arial !important;
}
Quick tip: to find out which class to modify, open a console (floating mode) on top of another console (floating mode) and inspect the elements in the same way that you would with a web page.

Hope this helps.

great work, thank you.

But I fail to inspect the console UI 🤣

If you guys want to customize other stuff, please read the official source code below

I think your devtools window should be in floating mode in order to be inspected.

chrillep commented Feb 23, 2023

to use fira code

@import url('https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Fira+Code:wght@300;400;500;600;700&display=swap');

font-family: 'Fira Code', monospace;

How to update this to use Manifest 3? This is now throwing error: "Manifest version 2 is deprecated, and support will be removed in 2024. See https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/develop/migrate/mv2-deprecation-timeline for details."

3otis commented Apr 28, 2024

Accepted manifest.json with no error

{
    "name": "Custom Chrome Devtools Theme",
    "version": "1.0.0",
    "description": "A customized theme for Chrome Devtools.",
    "devtools_page": "devtools.html",
    "manifest_version": 3
}

Dropped mac support for now.
If someone uses a mac, could please share which class is being used by chrome? Using .platform-mac is breaking things, at least for me.

BryanFonseca commented Jun 24, 2024

Still working. Tried out on Fedora 40.
Thanks. Hero.
