[Geany-Users] Smaller fonts in file tabs?

[Brent Roman]

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.
