I'm trying to change some aspect of Adwaita on Windows. The bars and panel are way bigger that I would like to, and I wouldn't mind the change of colors and sliders. I couldn't locate the theme, so I downloaded it from GitHub and included it in appdata but all the modifications seemed to be ignored. Installing other gtk3 themes worked, however none was of my liking and the modifications worked only for some of the colors but not for the padding/spacing of the menu bars, so I assume I'm missing something. Considering those themes are a mess to play with, my questions are:
Is it possible to change the size of menu bars and panels? They are too invasive and take much screen estate. I would like them to be compact and give more space to the canvas. I was only able to remove the item bar and move some tools around ( neat! )
Are there any basic gtk3 theme so I could change only the informations needed for Inkscape? I assume the themes are made of directions for gui elements Inkscape doesn't use at all. This lead to the next question.
Are the gui elements that Inkscape uses documented somewhere? I would like to make a theme but unsure if all the information is available.
So! I had some fun customizing the new version. I found some interesting grey themes called Adapta, Aurora, Gnome pro and padOs. All of those are available at gnome-look.org and I'm going to study them a bit to see what code I can include. Another interesting one is Fantasma, with some opacity going on! As of now, I decided to use the standard one with some twists. I started to work fullscreen, modified most of the shortcuts ( other than ctrl save there's probably a bug ) and move icons around. This improved the experience a lot. I can now hide most of the unnecessary menus with a button. If you check the screenshot you can see I also added a new bar. I wonder why it wasn't there before! I trought it was important to add the drawing tools in case I forgot the shortcuts or be in a hurry so.. here they are! :))
You mentioned you didn't have all the themes, here's a screenshot under properties-interface-themes where I have adwaita, win32 and others installed. Below it, there are also the options to change the size of the icons, which could be what you were looking for in the other topic?
Hey Roberto, I've done some research on creating themes for Inkscape 1.0 during beta and RC1 era and came up with a theme to match Windows 10 look better (lightweight edit of default Adwaita theme) and a guide to modifying and building Adwaita theme from Sass files (it's much more convinient then editing CSS files). I've made some notes on the way in sources and compiled a compact variation of Adwaita as well. I've posted results in two threads here at forums (theme & guide) as well as at GitHub (Adwaita Compact for Inkscape 1.0 is there in downloads). Maybe you'll find this useful. In case you'll go hard on theming, I recommend using Visual Studio Code for editing and examining Dart Sass -watch option.
RM. I think it being in another language is throwing me off. I don't seems to have anything with any themes whatsoever.
I just want my old 92.4 default size icons with the right sizes, lol. This stuff is over my head, so I'll just deal until others have an extension that I can install. thanks much

What's Adwaita? Can't wait to see what you come up with.
