As an update, I just did some experimenting and I changed my xfce4
desktop window settings under "Applications" -> "Settings" -> "Settings
Manager" -> "Appearance" -> "Style" to "xfce-4.4". IMHO, that style
gives me larger Calc tabs and still is a pleasant window frame. There
are many more styles there that will enlarge the tabs. Some do not. I do
recommend, however, to stay away from "Oxygen GTK" which crashed Kplayer
when I tried it.
As I said, I use xfce4, so other desktops, such as kde, YMMV.
In case it may help, here is a screenshot of the style settings
available in xfce4:
HTH.

I believe this "problem" has been brought up recently before. IIRC
That thread resolved the problem to the height of the horizontal
scroll bar on the bottom right, which is in the same horizontal field
of the window as the sheet tabs and as such, drives the height of the
tabs. This cannot be changed in AOO as it stands. The field height may
be changed by selecting another window style in the desktop
configuration. I did some experimenting with it and found a window
style that presented a higher (wider) scroll bar and which did present
larger tabs and font. I wasn't satisfied with other attributes of that
style, so I selected another style and now I can't remember how I got
the higher-tab style to go back to. So, the short answer is to change
desktop window manager window styles and see if there is one that
works better for you.

Hi Kay,
I did not have any Issues with very small tabs size on Linux.
Can you specify the Distribution, Windowmanager (KDE, GNome, mate
etc) and if you use any themes?
I know that we have Issues with themes. So maybe this belongs in this
topic too?
Or maybe Do you have a 4K Monitor?
All the Best

I am using AOO 4.1.7 on Linux-64. A have a spreadsheet with
multiple sheets. Once I could easily navigate from one to the next
but now, with the VERY SMALL bottom scroll area, this is nearly
impossible. The bottom area for showing the sheets seems to be
bounded in height by the height of the horizontal scroll bar
eight. I could have sworn that using the Zoom facility also
enlarged this bottom area in the past, but this is NOT the case
now. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I don't see how to change this, but it may be helpful to know that
Ctrl+PageDown moves to the next sheet (and so on) - and Ctrl+PageUp
the other way. If your version of Linux interferes with this, you
may be able to set alternative keyboard shortcuts.
I trust this helps.
