Description
Hi guys, I am a new user who switched from RStudio to Positron. I noticed that in the previously resolved issues of Positron, someone proposed recognizing the "--vscode" CSS variables. However, may I ask how to add or customize the CSS file to modify the appearance font of Positron? Unfortunately, I have searched all over Google but couldn't find how to set up this function. Is there a way to customize the css file to customize the Positron interface, such as modifying the font size of the second sidebar or Help Pane?

Define the scope for font-size customization in the help pane and secondary side bar, then document the supported configuration or CSS approach and verify it applies to those interface areas.
