Comment 25 for bug 1168281

I managed to get something acceptable by installing "Jeeeyul's Themes", as earlier suggested, and tweaking its colors, plus the following .gtkrc-2.0:

style "gtkcompact" {
font_name="Liberation Sans 9"
GtkMenuItem::horizontal-padding=2
}

class "GtkWidget" style "gtkcompact"
style "gtkcompactextra" {
xthickness=2
ythickness=1
}
class "GtkButton" style "gtkcompactextra"
class "GtkToolbar" style "gtkcompactextra"
class "GtkPaned" style "gtkcompactextra"

I would share Jeeeyul's Themes' settings, but don't know how to export them.

Screenshot of the resulting look is attached
