Hi, One thing that's always bothered me about GTK is how large GTK widgets are - especially the Combobox. I played around with my fonts sizes and while the height of the Combobox is still pretty high when you compare the hight of the text it holds, smaller font sizes did help. I came across a fairly old page on the web (forgot the link, sorry) that explained how Linux traditionally used 10pt font sizes, 75 dpi. Windows used font size of 8pt and 96dpi. However now that Linux uses 96dpi (and has for a while), the fonts appear to be much larger. Do you think we should provide a theme that reduces the stock image sizes by a bit and uses 8pt fonts? I'm not a great theme designer, but I created a basic gtkrc file similar to the "wimp" gtk theme on Windows. This helped considerably with "screen real estate", as almost every widget got smaller. I'm not suggesting this because Mac has their OS's themed this way, but rather because I find in the default theme there's a lot of potential screen real estate that goes to waste. Since the font size does affect spacing but makes the widgets smaller it made all programs much easier to navigate through! So, what are you thoughts/opinions? I'd be happy to create and package a theme that does what I've mentioned above providing somebody could help me out a little along the way for gtkrc and maybe the theme engine a bit. This is just an idea, feedback, flames, criticisms are all welcome.
