- alcover 4y agoLet me stay upright. 15M seems a lot. What's in there ? High-def country flags for Retina ? edit: ok, size is ~4.5M on my Debian, of which transmission-gtk accounts for 3.6. Maybe graph libs are bigger on mac ?

The Cocoa 'nibs' that define the application UI tend to be bigger than comparable GTK XML files.
