Just stumbled upon your site and will try your skin later on.

I was actually looking for a way to make the eclipse bars(tabbars, menubar…) smaller. I use a small font, but all the bars have so much wasted space above and below the text. I was wondering if I can just change these heights and have a sort of minimal-wasted-space look.

Sorry if this isn’t the place to ask, but I haven’t found other skin-sites yet.

Thanks.

Jasper, I think it is not possible. The toolbars use the native toolbar control from your OS.

Wow! great piece of work!

Is it possible to style the toolbars in VS.net style ? Or is this not possible due to restrictions in the eclipse theme implementation ?

I thought about this in the past, but the problem is the space the “X” button takes.

I can turn this into an option in a later version, but for now, you can use middle-click on the tab to close it.

Awesome work. The only thing I don’t like about it (and VS) is that the editor close is so far away from the editor itself. How about breaking from the VS design a little and offering an option to put the X on the editor tab?
