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

[Jiří Techet]

Disclaimer: I don't use Windows and use the Prof-Gnome theme on macOS so don't take me seriously.

I'm inclined to having a good user experience by default and the giant tabs of Adwaita aren't a good match for a tab-heavy UI like Geany IMO. This means I would prefer (2).

Regarding what theme to use I must say I don't like the Windows 10 theme much - I can't visually distinguish various UI elements like entries and buttons (try opening Build->Set Build Commands and the entries and buttons are almost impossible to distinguish). And while it tries to use a design language similar to Windows, the result isn't a native-looking interface anyway.

I'm inclined to the Prof-Gnome theme (I'm biased of course) but it could be anything else with smaller tabs where you can tell individual widgets apart like e.g. the Minwaita theme here

(In this case though I think the Prof-Gnome theme looks more native.)
