GTK+ Forums

In pygobject there is a border around the images that makes the button more than expected.
I want to create a panel with 24 pixels high, I put a ToggleButton with an icon of 22 pixels.
I got pygtk to leave things as they wanted, but now will not.
Other widgets also have this problem.
wnck the tasklist and pager for example.
If there are many buttons in tasklist they do not shrink!


What alternatives do I have?

#!/usr/bin/python
from gi.repository import Gtk

w = Gtk.Window()
w.set_size_request(24,24)
w.connect("destroy",Gtk.main_quit)

b = Gtk.ToggleButton()
i = Gtk.Image()
i.set_from_icon_name("start-here",Gtk.IconSize.LARGE_TOOLBAR)
b.set_image(i) # or b.add(i)

w.add(b)
w.show_all()
Gtk.main()

Hi.

Spacing inside widgets is defined by a GTK+ theme (IIRC, horizontal and vertical spacing is usually set to 2 px). If you want to make button as small as possible, you'll probably need to adjust your current button theme using some theme trickery. I haven't got up-to-speed with GTK+-3.0 theming yet, so I cannot help you with that. For GTK+-2.0, all you need to to is write down a simple string in you application and pass it to gtk_rc_parse_string() (not sure what would PyGTK equivalent be).
