Hide Folders text in the sidebar

#1

Is there a way, I can hide the folders text at the top of the sidebar.

I always work with the option set to enabled

`"overlay_scroll_bars": "enabled",`

and hiding that text will allow (I presume) me to see more files and folders in the sidebar.

Thanks

There’s no way to hide it, but you can hack into the theme.
Use PackageResourceViewer to edit the .sublime-theme file, change sidebar_container to negative top margin, and sidebar_heading to transparent color. Ex:

{
  "class": "sidebar_container",
  "content_margin": [0, -10, 0, 0], // <= -10 is the top margin
},
{
  "class": "sidebar_heading",
  "color": [0, 0, 0, 0], // <= the last 0 is the transparency
},

But it will cut off the top of the scrollbar.

You can go further and fix the vertical scrollbar by modifying the scroll_bar_control and puck_control images. Appending those images with an transparent top to push it down.

Unfortunately this hack will not work if you show the “Open Files” section
