Questions tagged [gtk3]

Since Emacs 24.3 the default X toolkit is Gtk+ version 3 (the GIMP ToolKit). This uses a configuration system based on a CSS-like syntax.

Previously, Emacs 23.1 made the default X toolkit "The GIMP ToolKit", Gtk+ version 2, and there is some documentation at gnu.org on how to configure this for Emacs.

However, from Emacs 24.3 this changed to Gtk+ version 3 which has a completely different configuration system based on a CSS-like syntax. There is generic documentation for gtk3, but no simple examples for configuring Emacs.

How to change the line height in the menu

Here "menu" means something which appears when you hit F10. (Not the menubar.) Because my display is small, several options are hidden below. (See the following image. You can not see "Quit".) This is sometimes annoying me, so I would like to make…
