# Similar hack also in the menuitem style.

The examples above helped a lot, but I’m still not as compact as Windoze treeviews.

Are there some gtkrc settings that will reduce the whitespace padding/borders further for each treeview entry? Maybe some settings for cells or icons or some such?

Thanks!

I love the way it works in Human, but would like to be able to apply it to other themes from gnome-look.org instead of having to stay with Human all the time just in order to keep things sized right for my eeepc. Thanks@

gtk-icon-sizes = “panel-menu=16,16 : gtk-menu=16,16 : gtk-button=16,16 : gtk-small-toolbar=16,16 : gtk-large-toolbar=20,20 : gtk-dialog=32,32 : gtk-dnd=32,32″

to the gtkrc and changing font sizes saves a lot of screen space
