  • Can I have a thinner menu line?

    From Luc@21:1/5 to All on Tue Oct 4 18:04:11 2022
    I am building this application that uses just Tcl, Tk and Tile.
    All fine and dandy, but I am a little bit annoyed by this thick menu line.

    It's not a matter of font size, it's about line height.

    I uploaded a screenshot here: https://a.pomf.cat/wmfuvf.png

    I've compared it to many other non-Tk applications and I do feel that
    Tk (or Tile?) has a slightly thicker menu line, with too much room above
    and below the text.

    Is there any way I can change that, short of hacking source code?

    TIA

    I am on Linux.

    Did you see something in my screenshot that caused you great surprise?

    You can gain a couple of pixels by setting -activeborderwidth 0 on the
    menu.
