Hi all,

I'd like to change the main menu font size on Geany. Long story but I have two monitors with different DPIs and need the menus and notebook tabs to be smaller on the larger monitor, because they're huge.

Using these instructions:

http://www.geany.org/manual/current/#defining-own-widget-styles-using-gtkrc-...

I put this in my ~/.gtkrc-2.0 and in the same file in my current theme, but it didn't work:

style "geanyStyle" { font_name="Sans 10" }

widget "GeanyToolbarMenu" style "geanyStyle"

style "geanyStyle2" { font_name="Sans 10" } widget "GeanyMenubar" style "geanyStyle2"

Not sure why it doesn't work. :/

A few ideas:

1. Make sure you aren't using a GTK3 build of Geany.
2. Maybe the ~/.gtkrc-2.0 isn't reloaded until you log back in?
3. Try an application-specific gtkrc file (by setting GTK_RC_FILES envvar

before running Geany) 4) Try using 'class' instead of 'widget' and use GTK class names like GtkToolbar and GtkMenuItem. 5) Make sure you aren't using a bad desktop environment that hijacks the menu from Geany using patched GTK/modules to move it into the panel (ex. Unity/GNOME shill). 6) Above, do you want 'GeanyToolbar' instead of 'GeanyToolbarMenu'?

That's all I can think of.

P.S. I think you can use one style for multiple widget/class.

Good luck, Matthew Brush

Can confirm it doesn't work for me either and I tried most of Matthews ideas, and yeah its reading the ~/.gtkrc-2.0 file because it whinged about a typo.

So unless a GTK expert pronounces here could you raise an issue at https://github.com/geany/geany/issues.

Cheers Lex

Mike,

It works if you use wildcard matches appropriately, eg

widget "*.GeanyMenubar*" ...

Cheers Lex

Sorry, didn't work for me:

style "geanyStyle" { font_name="Ubuntu 6" }

widget "GeanyToolbarMenu" style "geanyStyle"

widget "*.GeanyMenubar*" style "geanyStyle"

Even logged out and back in. It does complain if I put a typo in though. The font-size of the document notebook tabs is what I need to reduce most importantly. Not sure how to do that either.

Try:

    style "huge-font"
    {
      font_name="Sans 32"
    }
    widget "*GeanyToolbar*" style "huge-font"
    widget "*GeanyMenubar*" style "huge-font"

Regards, Matthew Brush

And you don't need to log all the way out, just close and re-open Geany will do.

So, are the document notebook tab labels unstyle-able?

Tried:

class "*GeanyMainWindow*.*GtkNotebook*.*GtkMenuItem*" style "small-font"

Any idea how to get the Menu Items and Notebook Tabs the same size?

Thanks again,
