The issue suddenly occurred to me. It's one we all know and love :) Right now a regular menu item is used as a title in one place (Rhythmbox), and an action in another (Mute). The font and spacing is identical in both cases. Where it's used as a title, there is an extra icon to give the illusion of having less margin on the left, but that is semantically broken and rather unconvincing in practice. *Insert here: grumbling about needing text classes in Gtk and how hard-coding styles in Pango is like writing a website, with tables, fifteen years ago* Dylan _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ayatana Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ayatana More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
