Consider the vertical spacing between icons on the three dialogs whose screenshots will soon be attached. These are just examples, there are probably a lot of other examples. The spacing between the icons - between the tabs headers - is too small. Naturally, we want to avoid the tabs headers 'spilling' out of the overall space the dialog offers, but: * The default vspacing should be more generous. * Squeezed spacing should be considered when the overall v-space is limited - either a single squeezed/unsqueezed choice, or a separate choice depending on overall dialog v-space for tab headers.

VTs are drawn natively on gtk3, we have no control over the design. Or rather should not overwrite the system theme. => NOB
(In reply to Heiko Tietze from comment #4) > VTs are drawn natively on gtk3, we have no control over the design. Or > rather should not overwrite the system theme. => NOB You _may_ have been able made that claim about some opt-in VCL. But - _we_ choose to draw with GTK3, so _our_ responsibility. This is our bug. And sophistry aside - I'm certain there are a number of things we could do to circumvent this even if GTK itself cannot be told to add more vspace: We could reduce icon size, we could pad icons, we could perhaps even add "phantom" items to the tab headers which inflate their v-space.
