From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

title bar on linux mint cinammon windows - how to resize? (lemmy.world)

I recently installed Linux Mint Cinammon on an old laptop to try it out. The Title bar on windows is too tall for me preferences. I poked around in settings but couldn't find a way to make the title bar shorter. Is this not possible or is there some CLI-fu config to force it?

I'm guessing you mean that it is too thick in which case only 2 things will change this, the theme and the font size, I have for now only found 2 themes with a reasonably sized title bar that aren't too ugly, adwaita-slim and dracula-slim. If you look for "compact" or "slim" in sites like cinnamon looks you might find ones you like better

Font size did not affect change.

the font you had before you changed it may have already been hitting the minimum size of your gtk theme

I don't understand what that means.
