It's automatically shortened under GTK3 too, but apparently not by enough to compensate for the somewhat narrower "main window" portion when the console is embedded. I think this should now be fixed in today's snapshot. I've played around with that a bit and can't provoke a problem -- except when switching between the gtk2 and gtk3 versions, which is to be expected. I don't think so. I too find the Windows 10 theme too angular (and too unrelievedly white), but Adwaita looks quite nice IMO. In a subsequent post, Sven raised the business of the gtk3 build not respecting the "Don't start another gretl instance" choice (e.g. when gretl is already running and you double-click on a gretl script file on the Desktop). That should now be fixed. It's not easy on Windows to find the top-level window to which we should say, "Hey, prior gretl instance, you take care of opening this file". That was failing under GTK3, I guess because it sets a somewhat different set of flags on a top-level window relative to what we were expecting with GTK2. Allin
