Related question, albeit more general. Please excuse my GTK / theme ignorance, but can anything built on GTK+3 be themed to look (more) like GTK+2? For example, make the title bar narrow, with only caption and window buttons on it? Can tabs be made to look more like GTK+2? I don't know how much of (what I think of as) the default GTK+3 "look" is hardwired and immutable, vs. themed. As an example of what I'm thinking of, compare MenuLibre (GTK+3) and xfce4-terminal 0.63 (GTK+2). Purely personal preference, but I really dislike the whole GTK3+ look and feel. IMO, clunky and ugly, but once again my preference. Thanks.
