Description

Hi,

I can't seem to figure out how to change the size of the colorbar tick labels. I've tried

p1 = sc.pl.scatter(adata, 'n_counts', 'n_genes', color='mt_frac', show=False, legend_fontweight=50)
p1.tick_params(labelsize=tick_size)

and a few other options, but I only seem to be able to change the axis label sizes, but never the colormap labels. Any idea? @fidelram?

Start from the sc.pl.scatter call shown in the issue and trace how its colorbar is created and configured. Check the existing handling of axis label sizes, then verify that colorbar tick-label sizing can be changed independently without affecting the axis labels.
