[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Make status bar thinner by using GtkBox instead of GtkStatusBar (PR #3058)

[Jiří Techet]

The fact that it works with your particular system isn't a reason not to fix it on all systems. And there are lots of people experiencing this, see #2513 and the linked github issues or

The reply has been everywhere what you just said, basically not our issue, fix your system, but there's no way to fix it. So people were either using GTK 2 (my case, did this until it was possible, and I think the screenshot from @eht16 was coming from a GTK2 version of Geany in #2513), or maybe using Cinnamon (but I just want to use something lightweight in my virtual machine not to consume too many resources). And this isn't a theme bug - it's idiotic GTK 3 decision to hard-code this value for all applications.

> fix your system instead

So tell me and others how.
