Thanks it helps a lot!

I put 0 for title_vertical_pad and there is no waste of space on this bar:
- the height had been adapted to the font size or the button size (i don't
know)
- the button is smaller (same height as the bar)

If I could find where I can change font-size that would be last step. (I
tried /usr/share/themes/Adwaita/gtk-3.0/gtk.css but nothing seems to be
suitable for my need)

Thanks.
