Close SQL developer
The current user interface is no longer usable. You have to close the application before applying the new settings.
Locate the configuration file
Then, we locate the configuration file named sqldeveloper.conf. It's usually at <software_root>/sqldeveloper/sqldeveloper/bin/
Take mine as an example, if you put SQL Developer under C:\Oracle, which may also contain variaous versions of Oracle Client, the absolute path of this file will be C:\Oracle\sqldeveloper\sqldeveloper\bin\sqldeveloper.conf
