[GNC] Chaning left sidebar spacing

[William Marshall]

Um, I not a Gtk person, but I did get then inspector.  I can’t make heads or tails of what it’s making.  I do see now that what I’m focused on are “horizontal” GtkBox’s in a notebook, but I still can’t seem to be able to change anything.

I guess I’m giving up; but I appreciate everyone’s help.

Bill

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.
