GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 770878
less button padding than other apps
Last modified: 2016-09-06 16:24:56 UTC
Created attachment 334777 [details] screenshot Compared to other gnome apps, there is not a lot of padding in the header bar buttons of GNOME Software.
Are there any guidelines in the HIG? I agree we should fix this, but it would be good to have a spec so all apps are the same, even if it's a bit fluffy and wordy.
Only thing I could find was a wireframe. https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gnome-design-team/gnome-mockups-software/master/wireframes/search-results.png
I think it might be a thing with "box" vs "stackswitcher", because when I switched to that, the buttons got a lot more padding all of a sudden. https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/GtkStackSwitcher.html
Created attachment 334885 [details] screenshot with stackswitcher applied Making the box into a stackswitcher with the inspector made things extra wide though, so not sure if something more is needed.
commit 9b51b6396883ddac189e07a3f997324c78f0da10 Author: Richard Hughes <richard@hughsie.com> Date: Tue Sep 6 14:58:30 2016 +0100 Use the same padding as a GtkStackSwitcher We can't actually use GtkStackSwitcher as we use custom content in buttons (for instance, the updates counter label) and because we have other hidden pages in the GtkStack that can't be hidden.

Looks much better now. Thanks for the quick fix!
