How can I improve Eclipse's user Interface to get rid of the excessive padding and spacing?
- by csilk
Eclipse Juno (historical versions too) has too much padding applied to the tabs and borders. This makes it hard to work with multiple project folders, especially ones containing multiple packages and nested directories, due to an overall lack of space.
This only appears to be an issue on Linux. Windows and OSX both have less padding which vastly improves the user experience.
This issue affects my 15.4 inch laptop with a resolution of 1366 x 768. I'm not sure if this issue affects larger resolutions.
Is there a way to change the padding and make the whole application look a little more compact / smaller?
I've attached a screenshot of an empty Eclipse project in Eclipse. I'll add an OSX screenshot tomorrow for comparison.
