What part do you think is so big? I find it's quite minimal.
I think so as well. Interested to learn the concern
I have a dual boot system with Windows 10 and Fedora 37. I don't boot
into Windows nearly as much as I do Fedora. But, when I do, I'm always
struck by how much more I seem to be able to fit on my 3440x1440
display in Windows than I can in GNOME.
In GNOME, the font used is bigger, the window borders are thicker,
buttons are bigger and there just seems to be more padding around
everything. I don't understand why windows in GNOME have such a thick
top bar. The Windows GUI in comparison is tighter and more compact
(overall).
It's obviously a stylistic choice that GNOME has made. I just find it
bulky and almost cartoonish. It's a clean look, for sure, but huge.
Did any of that help in understanding what I meant?
I use xfce so I'm not sure if this applies to gnome.
Under WindowManager -> Styles there are options that affect windows and
borders. Any that have hdpi in their titles make things large, xhdpi
makes them HUGE. There's one, Greybird, that eliminates borders (great
on a browser) and lowers the profile on the top. On a 1920x1080 it
freed ~1/2 inch or so in the height of a full height window.
Greybird-dark is really nice if you're one of those people who don't
enjoy the tanning booth effect of some themes. It also reduces the
font-size on some things (I had to increase font-size to reply to this
email using Thunderbird).
