Very large tabs in Eclipse panes on Ubuntu

Problem Description
My question is very similar to Stack Overflow question *https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2743647*. I have tried the solutions presented, but they appear to be old. I have found [a solution][1] that nicely handles the toolbar and menus, but not a solution that reduces the size and padding of the disproportionately large tabs (and label) within the panes (see the tab "Package Explorer" in the screen below). I am happy with the way my OS-wide GTK theme is customized and don't want to change that. Is there a quick fix to reduce the tab sizes of the panes in Eclipse? I'm using Eclipse for Mobile Developers (Juno) on Ubuntu 12.04. I'll also mention that I really like the way Eclipse appears out of the box in Windows 7, so something similar to that would be ideal. Here are the eclipse specific GTK styles I'm using: style "eclin" { GtkButton::default_border={1,1,1,1} GtkButton::default_outside_border={1,1,1,1} GtkButtonBox::child_min_width=0 GtkButtonBox::child_min_heigth=0 GtkButtonBox::child_internal_pad_x=0 GtkButtonBox::child_internal_pad_y=0 GtkMenu::vertical-padding=1 GtkMenuBar::internal_padding=1 GtkMenuItem::horizontal_padding=4 GtkToolbar::internal-padding=1 GtkToolbar::space-size=1 GtkOptionMenu::indicator_size=0 GtkOptionMenu::indicator_spacing=0 GtkPaned::handle_size=4 GtkRange::trough_border=0 GtkRange::stepper_spacing=0 GtkScale::value_spacing=0 GtkScrolledWindow::scrollbar_spacing=0 GtkExpander::expander_size=10 GtkExpander::expander_spacing=0 GtkTreeView::vertical-separator=0 GtkTreeView::horizontal-separator=0 GtkTreeView::expander-size=12 GtkTreeView::fixed-height-mode=TRUE GtkWidget::focus_padding=0 font_name="Liberation Sans,Sans Regular 8" } class "GtkWidget" style "eclin" style "eclin2" { xthickness=1 ythickness=1 } class "GtkButton" style "eclin2" class "GtkToolbar" style "eclin2" class "GtkPaned" style "eclin2" Here is a screenshot of what my IDE looks like with the huge tabs: ![Eclipse Juno IDE with tabs too big][2] [1]: http://blog.sarathonline.com/2008/10/solved-eclipse-looks-good-in-ubuntu-now.html [2]: https://i.sstatic.net/coQXL.png
