I'm not a maintainer of this theme, this is a fix I did just for myself. Perhaps the theme's owners wouldn't even agree with it being a "fix".

GTK3's clearlooks had significantly more wasted space than its GTK2 predecessor. I guess it's due to the fad of "mobile first" design.

Copy-and-pasted "tweaks" to a GTK3 port of the "Mist" theme

The copy and pasted things were bits from the Albatross theme
