[GNC] Chaning left sidebar spacing

[John Ralls]

MacOS version shouldn't matter for this.

Have you tried using the Gtk Inspector (see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/GTK3#Using_the_GTK_Inspector) to find the right control? Note that it isn't a sidebar, it's the notebook tabs that you happen to have put on the side instead of across the top.

Regards,
John Ralls

I did find in the discussion and in other places how to set the padding around the menubar icons and text, and I see discussion in various places about changing the sidebar, but none of the changes I attempt have any impact.
