      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.

    
    Damon Register
