Lex,

Thanks for the clarification.
Sorry about the missing info.

The "new" version is Geany 1.33 and, it is, as you suspected, linked with gtk-3,
while the "old" version is Geany 1.29, linked with gtk-2.
The OS is Debian "buster" and "stretch", respectively.

I absolutely agree with your rant about the popular "kiddy phone" look.

Could one simply copy the .css file from the 1.29 version to the 1.33 version to restore the old version's layout?

Any suggestions appreciated.

Hi,

The 1.2 series had much smaller fonts by default for labels that appear
above the editor and file selector panes and to the left of the messages
area than the 1.3 series does.

Is there any way to revert to the older, more compact layout?

Something I can do in geany.css, perhaps?

Thanks!

There are no 1.2 and 1.3 series, its 1.<an increasing number>, the
maintainer doesn't believe in Semver.

You might mean 1.<20s> vs 1.<30s> but that doesn't control it, all can
be built with GTK2 or GTK3.

You don't say what OS you use but more likely it has switched to
providing a GTK3 build of Geany recently, but its GTK3 themes are
designed for kiddy phones, not desktops [end rant].

You havn't given the version of Geany, or the version of GTK, for GTK3
its geany.css as you suspected and it "should work".

Cheers
Lex

Thanks!
