[GNC] Chaning left sidebar spacing

[Adrien Monteleone]

Bill,

There was a long thread last fall (2018) about css. I think the title makes it appear to be dealing with fonts, but it also covered lots of the UI, and in particular we covered the padding in tabs. Unfortunately, I don’t recall off hand the exact declarations to use. (are they not in the wiki gtk page?)

If you find that list thread but are still stumped, report back here and I’ll see what I can dig up. (and then put it in the wiki if it in fact isn’t there)

Regards,
Adrien

p.s. - Colin, the browser shouldn’t make a difference as it is a separate app entirely and GnuCash doesn’t use it for the UI. Really, the OS shouldn’t either. The padding is spec’d specifically, but font size might make a difference if the padding is set in ems.
