We (as the Eclipse developer community) give frequently presentations with the Eclipse IDE and have to fiddle with the text size settings. I suggest to add a "Presentation" CSS file which adjust the text size to "16", a value I think is good for a delivering a presentation. Any other preference value which comes to mind? Please let me know.
Simon, can you add the CSS to the org.eclipse.ui.themes plug-in? I suggest to import the existing platform specific stylesheet.
New Gerrit change created: https://git.eclipse.org/r/42039
Just uploaded patch is just for GTK. I also need the preference values for other OS, like Windows and Mac.
Stefan, what is the value on a Mac if you set the text size to 16? On Linux we have 'org.eclipse.jface.textfont=1|Monospace|16.0|0|GTK|1|' You can use the preference spy to find that value: http://preferencespy.vogella.com/
Here's what the preference on Mac OS X looks like: org.eclipse.jface.textfont=1|Monaco|16.0|0|COCOA|1|Monaco
The font value on Windows 7 is this: 1|Consolas|15.75|0|WINDOWS|1|-21|0|0|0|400|0|0|0|0|3|2|1|49|Consolas; Looks a bit longer than on linux or mac.
I just uploaded a patch for mac and windows as well. Can someone test these themes? Thanks in advance.

In the Build id: I20150305-1200 I do not see the new themes. @Simon, please have a look.
The theme is available and can be set. Currently we have a different issue concerning the editor styling, where the presentationmode is also affected: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=462056 But I change this bug to resolved fixed again
Verified in 4.5.0.N20150315-1630
The Presentationmode has an side effect (to me this is an bug): Tested with Mars 4.5M6 on Windows. Steps: Open a new workspace create a file and add some text change the font-type and or size of the font (Windows->Preferences->General->Appearance->Color and Fonts->Basic->Text Font). switch to presentation mode (Font size increases) switch back to the default Appearance "Windows" The font and size will immediately reseted to the default font and size! The original setting in this Appearance is lost :-( Switching to a Appearance A should not change the settings of Appearance B...

Sounds like Bug 441135 or Bug 435512. Please open a new bug for this issue with your example description.
Apparently this feature has been withdrawn via bug 466080. I think the correct resolution would then be WONTFIX.
This feature was reverted, for Neon we are planning to provide shortcuts to increase font size in the editor. Thanks Stephan for the reminder of house keeping.
