Re: How to make a progress-bar thinner?

[Osmo Antero <osmoma gmail com>]

Hello,
It wasn't so easy to make the GtkProgressBar smaller. It's also controlled
by desktop's active theme and style.
So I created a simple GtkLevelBar widget that is thinner and lighter.
Picture: http://bildr.no/view/1146365

Here is the source code
https://launchpad.net/audio-recorder
Look for src/gtklevelbar.[ch]
It's nothing prime-art but works very well for this recorder.

Audio-recorder runs on all major Linux-distros.
I run Ubuntu 11.10/12.04.

Happy eastern
