Created attachment 3668 Tabs look different in terminal compared to other tabs such as midori and appearance settings dialog. Tabs in xfce terminal look different to other tabs in xfce. In my current theme, the inactive tabs are lower to the active tab, but in terminal, they are all the same size.
Created attachment 3669 Probable reason Cause for this behaviour is suspected to be large close buttons on tabs, which force the tabs to be larger than in other applications.
I really don't care unless you attach a working patch.
Created attachment 3670 This patch fixes the issue. Here is a patch to fix the issue. Terminal tabs should now look like all other gtk tabs.
The result is that the terminal window gets bigger.
Only by few pixel, and terminal's tab look is consistent with other applications now.

Created attachment 3703 Comparison with and without patch.
(In reply to comment #7) > Created attachment 3703 > Comparison with and without patch. I think that's how it's supposed to look. Check with almost every program that uses tabs (except for terminal of course).
Fix not convinced, I agree the tabs look nicer, but the border around the terminal window is ugly and makes the terminal resize.

Created attachment 4271 small tabs Can we at least make the tabs smaller? I understand we are trying to keep the theme consistent with the rest of xfce, but if all the tabs in xfce are the same size as terminal, I'd go crazy (I don't use xfce). Tabs should be the size of the current firefox tabs by defaut. If they are hard to see, that's what system DPI settings are for, right?

Made a bit smaller, but not as small as you proposed. Same size as thunar.
