[Github-comments] [geany/geany] New UI on windows is bloated and scaled up (Issue #3063)

[alexnerd123]

I just upgraded geany from 1.36 to 1.38 (Windows 10, version 1909), and the new UI is very bloated and greyscale and borderless. It looks pretty, but its hard to read. It also takes up WAY to much space, far more than it ever did. And its mostly wasted whitespace. On 1.36, its about 29 pixels between each open file on the left (about the height of the font, plus a small margin), on an 1.38, its 38 pixels between. Thats a 30% increase, but the font doesn't scale to justify the bloat. It makes it a lot harder to have a lot of open files, since the entire file pane is wasted whitespace

In addition, theres no border lines between open files, and everything is SUPER greyed out when it loses keyboard focus. Its pretty! But not very functional. 

Is there any way to turn this off? I always liked geany as a "poweruser" editor. Functional, lightweight, and to the point
