GTK scroll size in gvim
I managed to get the scrollbars to be slightly smaller than usual. However, I am unable to get the parent widget to scale to the correct size. The image below shows what I mean and shows the contents of my ~ / .gtkrc-2.0 ....
What am I missing?
And here is the copied snippet ~ / .gtkrc-2.0:
style "neverness" {
GtkScrollbar::activate-slider = 1
GtkScrollbar::trough-border = 0
GtkScrollbar::slider-width = 9
GtkScrollbar::min-slider-length = 36
GtkScrollbar::has-forward-stepper = 1
GtkScrollbar::has-backward-stepper = 1
}
class "GtkScrollbar" style "neverness"
class "GtkHScrollbar" style "neverness"
class "GtkVScrollbar" style "neverness"

This is not caused by GTK +; it is called by vim.
See vim73 / src / gui.c: gui_init_check ():
gui.scrollbar_width = gui.scrollbar_height = SB_DEFAULT_WIDTH;
This meaning comes from gui.h:
#define SB_DEFAULT_WIDTH 16
Later, gui_position_components () does the following:
gui.right_sbar_x = text_area_x + text_area_width;
And gui_update_scrollbars () does it:
gui_mch_set_scrollbar_pos(&wp->w_scrollbars[SBAR_RIGHT],
gui.right_sbar_x, y,
gui.scrollbar_width, h);
which runs as
gtk_form_move_resize(GTK_FORM(gui.formwin), sb->id, x, y, w, h);
That GtkForm is a custom widget implemented in vim itself; see gui_gtk_f.c:
void
gtk_form_move_resize(GtkForm *form, GtkWidget *widget,
gint x, gint y, gint w, gint h)
{
widget->requisition.width = w;
widget->requisition.height = h;
gtk_form_move(form, widget, x, y);
}
Later, the code in gtk_form_position_child () just grabs the widget-> claim and uses it to allocate the children.
The GtkVScrollbar sees that it is allocated more horizontal space than it needs (i.e. SB_DEFAULT_WIDTH = 16) and centers on its distribution. This is the extra space you see around the scroll bar.
Vim doesn't have to customize the internals - widget widgets. Instead, it should store the values it needs somewhere (perhaps in a GtkFormChild structure) and use them. Also, it should be able to use GTK + native size to get the desired scrollbar width.
