More compact/space efficient interface?

More compact/space efficient interface?

[Ole Jørgen Brønner]

Sorry if I've missed something obvious, but is it possible to get a more  
compact UI? Reducing the font sizes helps only a bit.

I would like to reduce margins in general (especially in buttons and  
menues), remove the scrollbar and reduce the size of the "splitbars" (in  
the function browser)

I guess some of this should be possible with tk theming, but I couldn't  
really find any info how to use it on the tk site. (or even if the support  
is done yet :))

Thanks for the best gdb frontend I've tried so far! I _love_ that it  
doesn't try to be its own window manager.

Unfortunately, no, no one has attempted to do this yet.

I don't know how insight will react to themes, but I believe all of our 
windows use Itk, so it *should* be possible (and relatively painless, if 
tedious) to merge margin-like widget properties into the window's main 
widget property database. Then simply configuring the window's margins 
will affect every widget inside.
