>space-wasting default theme GNOME 3's default theme has the slimmest window chrome any GNOME has ever had. People think it's space-wasting because the fonts are larger, but they got larger-looking buttons in fewer pixels by compressing everything into one place. It's only space-wasting if you're using applications that don't support menus in the title bars, and even then it's about the same as GNOME 2. You can check it by running GNOME 2 and 3 side-by-side.

> GNOME 3's default theme has the slimmest window chrome any GNOME has ever had Even if that was true, what your parent said is that it's space wasting (in absolute terms). Which is actually an understatement. > It's only space-wasting if you're using applications that don't support menus in the title bars That's really two pairs of shoes. And assuming support for the gimmick of the day (which also presumably only works for GTK3 apps) is totally insane. And btw the default theme also sucks in that you can't easily see which window has keyboard focus. And if you change the theme, it gets messier as your parent described.
