I have noticed a long time that the default(and majority of other themes) theming is just fat for Gtk+. Luckily the past year some nice themes have appeared on www.gnome-looks.org. They usually have the keyword "compact" in their name. Do a search on gnome-look and you'll find them. Study them to see if they have solved your problems. > Date: Tue, 23 Feb 2010 20:50:38 +0100 > From: mailllists gmail com > To: gtk-list gnome org > Subject: All widget are too fat - theming not working properly > > Hi guys, > > imho, all gtk widgets are much to fat/big, especially comboboxes, > buttons and tabs. > So ok, it's possible to decrease x-/ythickness, some paddings and stuff > like this.
