Thank you. https://faq.i3wm.org/question/6218/application-texts-and-toolbars-are-big/?answer=6220#post-id-6220Lxappearance works very well to set gtk-theming and fonts and it has no dependencies which is really cool I think. The described way to simply edit .gtkrc-2.0 works too and if you don't change your theming all the time, it's a simple and clean solution. gnome-settings-daemon will pull in a lot of gnome-dependencies. So if you're not actually using gnome shell anymore I would not recommend that.Mon, 29 Jun 2015 13:51:19 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/6218/application-texts-and-toolbars-are-big/?answer=6220#post-id-6220Comment by Adarsh for Lxappearance works very well to set gtk-theming and fonts and it has no dependencies which is really cool I think.

Its no more lxde or lxqt than any other app, its just the name you don't like obviously ;) Native i3 would be to edit .gtkrc-2.0 manually or write a little script with some of your preferred settings t! :)Tue, 30 Jun 2015 08:21:17 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/6218/application-texts-and-toolbars-are-big/?comment=6225#comment-6225Comment by Adarsh for Lxappearance works very well to set gtk-theming and fonts and it has no dependencies which is really cool I think.
