Note too that there are some 'defined' register colors. The example CSS files linked from the wiki should at least illustrate these. (though I don't think there is much 'documentation' on them, their names should be self-explanatory)

I'll dig into my own CSS file to see if I adjusted that tab-height property. Or barring that, fire up the inspector myself. But you should be able to see a property that affects it.

Caveat: respect the Cascade! thus, if a child of the tab, say a 'tab label' has a 'font-size' specified in *any* independent measurement (not in reference or dependent on the tab dimensions itself) that child element will then 're-size' the tab if the tab is set to contain *all* of its content. (I'm not describing that precisely correct for all cases, but I think I'm conveying the right idea) This is a 'thing' in Web CSS, but for some elements of GTK CSS, it is baked in. That is, those elements always adjust to fit content of their children and you don't have an easy means to change their behavior via CSS.

So you can set a tab height to 1px, but if your child tab-label is 12px, (plus or not — margin/padding), then your resulting tab will be that much larger regardless of the 'official' tab-height property.

I suspect that is the problem.

First, find a nice font-size for the entire UI. Stick with it. (there is good reason for this)

Then adjust *padding* on the 'tab' or *margin and/or padding* on the 'label' of the tab as needed.

That's what I've done so far, and it works well enough for me, though I'm not trying to shrink my tabs into near oblivion.

Adrien

The syntax is roughly the same which is fine but what I'm finding harder is identifying the appropriate selectors based on the output of the inspector is harder.

I've gotten most of everything I wanted fixed except for the height of the register tabs. The inspector so far isn't showing me anything helpful to tweak that would let me reduce their height.
