Make compact variant more compact

[lcavalli]

Hi,

is it possible to have the laptop version of this wonderful theme more "compact"?
Something of the size of https://github.com/abihf/adwaita-compact
On my computer with a resolution of 1366x768 it seems a little big for the size of the display.

Thanks!

Luca

@nana-4 Shouldn't this be closed now?

I'm sorry for my neglect and the confusion. This was reported when the current -compact variant was named -laptop variant. That means, he required a more compact variant than the current -compact variant.

I thought I can make the -compact variant more compact, but it was not as easy as I thought for several reasons. So I couldn't answer "yes" or "no" immediately to his request.

I'm still seeking the possibility of making the -compact variant more compact, so I'd like to keep this issue open. :)

a 20% more compact version will make materia theme look great on lower resolution desktops like 1366x768 (most laptop and notebooks has his resolution 720p) etc.

materia compact looks great in full hd 1920x1080 resolution.

thank you

I decided to report this here instead of creating a separate issue. I believe the compact theme urgently needs smaller/less padding on the window titlebar buttons. Here's a comparison between Firefox (with CSD enabled) and Nautilus. To me, the spacing in Firefox looks perfect. There is just far too much whitespace around and between the icons on Nautilus (and other properly themed Gnome CSD apps). Non-CSD apps also look good, similar to Firefox.

To add my 2 cents to this: I think too that the Gnome CSD apps like Nautilus could use some shrinking on their titlebars (horizontally too, since the buttons are very far apart in that sense), but as I already said in my duplicate issue I also think that GTK+ apps would be nice with a narrower titlebar.

In the picture below, 'tis a goofy attempt of mine to a mock up of how I think a "more compact materia" should look like when it comes to GTK+ apps, on the right, compared to how it is now, on the left.
I hope it helps!

Is it also possible to reduce the vertical space between the lines in menus?
Like adapta-eta (the compact variant) does, check attached images:

Any news on this one?

It would be really nice if you make the xfwm theme and menus in compact version (at least relatively) compact.
