Hi Damon,
The thing is that Adwaita is now the default
theme for GTK+3.x. The win32 theme, though, as it is not
maintained much nowadays, should not be used unless one is
intending to make it up-to-date.
I don't really have to have win32, I just want a light weight theme
that
doesn't override what I specify for size.
The reason why you don’t see it in your
installation is that the Adwaita theme files are built
directly into the GTK DLL via GResources (see the
gtk.gresource.xml that is generated during the build).
That is what I was beginning to suspect.
Unfortunately
I can’t help very much on the theme part nor CSS (which is
what is used to create the GTK themes), but it might help to
post a link to the screenshots that you might have which you
think is problematic for you and any gtkrc (or so, I may be
wrong on this) that you might be using.
Top left is glade and is what I expect program output to be. Top
middle is default theme
and top right is win32 theme.
In the second row I have overridden the default "width in chars" for
the entry widgets
for both themes. The main problem I have is that it seems all the
themes I have
tried this far are imposing minimum sizes that are unacceptable.
In a post to this list
in 2017 subject: Re: How to get a "traditional" file-chooser
one person said it far better than I could with "Screen space is a
premium, a pretty UI is not".
I really want to move forward with Gtk3 and I don't object to making
adjustments
to get that goal. Is there a global way to stop Gtk3 and its themes
from making any
changes to the sizes specified in the Glade file? At this point I
am guessing the
answer is no. So I see that probably have to find a theme that
doesn't change sizes
or learning how to customize a theme. Does anyone know of a theme
that doesn't
have this size modifying behavior?
Note for
Adwaita to work fully, you need the adwaita-icon-themes
package installed at the right place, and you would likely
need librsvg (specifically, the GDK-Pixbuf svg loader that
comes with librsvg, which clearly will depend on the librsvg
DLL).
I am using msys2 on Windows 10. I believe that the msys2 installer
along with
pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-gtk3
got all I need. I see a tree under
C:\msys64\mingw64\share\icons\Adwaita
Hope this
helps
It does. Many thanks.
