Re: [Gtkwave-users] GTKWave "not looking right" on a new install

Hi,

Yeah, I think on my previous install it was built against GTK2 and
this is now GTK3.
I don't really want to install GTK2 since it's EOL.

No, I didn't mean the icons, that's the useful part :)  I meant the
top bar / title bar. I have a frame less window manager, I shouldn't
have any client imposed window decoration, that should be left to my
window manager.

But I found out I can undefine WAVE_ALLOW_GTK3_HEADER_BAR to get it
like it should be with a proper menu bar and toolbar.
The toolbar is still way too large, for which I can do :

gtk_toolbar_set_icon_size(GTK_TOOLBAR(tb), GTK_ICON_SIZE_SMALL_TOOLBAR);

which does reduce the icon size to 16x16 but unfortunately still
doesn't really change the toolbar size just because of GTK3 insane
defaults for padding and minimum height.

I'm in the process of fixing that with a bit of GTK3 CSS but still need a

Then finally I'll also need to find a way to include some icons that
are a bit less gray than the default GTK3 set, possibly just go take
the old GTK2 ones and somehow find a way to make gtkwave use those
instead of the system one.

Cheers,
