Open a terminal and run the following command (You might need to alter it, if you're not using the standard theme):
sudo sed -i "/title_vertical_pad/s/value=\"[0-9]\{1,2\}\"/value=\"0\"/g" /usr/share/themes/Adwaita/metacity-1/metacity-theme-3.xml
Then either reboot or press ALT+F2, type r and press enter.
Voila, much nicer top bar size (in my opinion).
Thank you! That title bar was killing me. Much nicer now.
ReplyDeleteOn Debian 7 the file to edit is metacity-theme-2.xml
ReplyDeleteUseful tricks ;)
