Hi All,
Hi!
After years of using GIMP in Multiple Window Mode, I'm thinking about switching to Single Window Mode - the "sticking point" is not enough vertical space in Single Window Mode. Here's a screenshot showing several possible places for saving vertical space in Single Window Mode: https://ninedegreesbelow.com/files/possible-places-to-save-vertical-space-in -single-window-mode.png

3. I think the extra space around the Tool Options sliders is currently
determined by the system font size. So choosing a larger font
automatically increased the "padding". I really need a largish font to
be able to read the slider text. But the extra padding means wasted
vertical space.
If the padding could be independent of the font, and possibly be
user-settable, that would be very helpful. It would also be helpful to
have the option to set the font size. It seems right now the only way to
set the font size is by modifying the user's (hidden) .gtkrc-2.0 file,
which of course affects many more programs than just GIMP.
4. Same as above: The opacity slider has too much vertical padding.
It would be nice if sliders could be made smaller indeed. [...]
6. This is the biggie, literally. It would be nice to have the option to not have the image window tabs at all. But if having these tabs is a requirement, at least make the tab height and tab icons as small as possible. Is there a place in Preferences that controls this icon size? It's huge! Where in the code is the tab/icon size set?
This one annoys me most. When only having a single image open the tabs should probably not shown at all. Or is a single tab good for anything that is not obvious? [...]
Actually, except for "6", all these "vertical space saving possibilities" also apply to Multiple Window Mode. Especially when using the Paint tools, the Tool options dialog is very "tall" and every bit of vertical space that can be saved helps avoid the dreaded scrollbar.
Besides 3./4. and 6. I don't mind the extra space, it helps separate things and is less clutter than horizontal lines.
