[opensuse-gnome] 3.20: Large window title bars
The knobs below used to work, until GNOME 3.20 (or whatever is responsible for the large title bars). What needs to be done now to set the title bars to a usable size? Olaf On Fri, Aug 07, Olaf Hering wrote:

In the past I could hack the title_vertical_pad settings in /usr/share/themes/Adwaita/metacity-1/metacity-theme-3.xml. Now those XML-based schemes seem gone. How can I perform such tweaking going forward?"
google found me this workaround:
~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css .header-bar.default-decoration { padding-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; }
.header-bar.default-decoration .button.titlebutton { padding-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; }
This does not seem to work for the settings window or file explorer. Maybe because they have this Search icon in the titlebar.

I don't think I saw any response to Olaf. This really hurts. Vertical space is rather valuable on today's wide screen displays. In my case it reduces my mailer's index screen by at least one entry. First the /usr/share/themes/Adwaita/metacity-1/metacity-theme-3.xml workaround went away, now the following does not work any more,...
~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css .header-bar.default-decoration { padding-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; }
.header-bar.default-decoration .button.titlebutton { padding-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; }
...and if I were a little paranoid, I'd think that someone upstream likes to make fun of users like Olaf and me who simply disagree with the design decision to bloat title bars and waste screen estate. Are there any options left? Gerald -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+owner@opensuse.org

Third hit on google: gnome 3.20 reduce title bars /* shrink headebars */ headerbar { min-height: 0; padding-left: 2px; /* same as childrens vertical margins for nicer proportions */ padding-right: 2px; padding-top: 1px; padding-bottom: 1px; } headerbar entry, headerbar spinbutton, headerbar button, headerbar separator { margin-top: 1px; /* same as headerbar side padding for nicer proportions */ margin-bottom: 1px; } /* shrink ssd titlebars */ .default-decoration { min-height: 0; /* let the entry and button drive the titlebar size */ padding-left: 2px; /* same as childrens vertical margins for nicer proportions */ padding-right: 2px; padding-top: 1px; padding-bottom: 1px; } .default-decoration .titlebutton { min-height: 10px; /* tweak these two props to reduce button size */ min-width: 10px; } Upstreams problem is that they have to serve a multitude of screen resolutions - The above looks ridiculously small on my HiDPI laptop screen, and by my opinion just plain odd on my 1920x1080 monitor. (Note that you might have to do a logout/in before settings taking effect). //Bjørn -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+owner@opensuse.org
