Too thick window borders in Ubuntu 10.04 [message #546701]

Hi,

Eclipse has too thick borders, even when I change the font size in Gnome or Eclipse, the borders remain the same.

See screenshot:

Is there any setting?

Thanks

Hi,

I think there is no setting to set the border width from Eclipse. Also, changing the font size will not affect the border width.

Btw, I'm using a Netbook with a 1024x600 pixel screen. Other people with "normal" computers don't have this issue; I will check soon by connecting a TFT monitor to the laptop.

OK, problem localized. It was the theme that used too thick borders. With Clearlooks everything is more compact, but I like the Radiance's design.
Now I only have to figure out how to edit the themes under /usr/share/themes.

Thread closed, it is a matter of customizing GTK2, not SWT.
