After Gnome 3.20, .header-bar.default-decoration doesn't work.

You can put follow content into ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css:

/* shrink headerbars (don't forget semicolons after each property) */

headerbar {

    min-height: 0px;

    padding-left: 2px; /* same as childrens vertical margins for nicer proportions */

    padding-right: 2px;

    background-color: #2d2d2d;

}



headerbar entry,

headerbar spinbutton,

headerbar button,

headerbar separator {

    margin-top: 0px; /* same as headerbar side padding for nicer proportions */

    margin-bottom: 0px;

}



/* shrink ssd titlebars */

.default-decoration {

    min-height: 0; /* let the entry and button drive the titlebar size */

    padding: 0px;

    background-color: #2d2d2d;

}



.default-decoration .titlebutton {

    min-height: 0px; /* tweak these two props to reduce button size */

    min-width: 0px;

}



window.ssd headerbar.titlebar {

    padding-top: 3px;

    padding-bottom: 3px;

    min-height: 0;

}



window.ssd headerbar.titlebar button.titlebutton {

    padding-top: 3px;

    padding-bottom:3px;

    min-height: 0;

}

To reduce the titlebar size just create a css file in this location: ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css and copy paste the code below; this will resize the titlebar:

.header-bar.default-decoration {

        padding-top: 0px;

        padding-bottom: 0px;

    }



.header-bar.default-decoration .button.titlebutton {

    padding-top: 0px;

    padding-bottom: 0px;

}

you can add this code (on the same file) to remove the line under the titlebar to reduce a little bit more the size:

/* No line below the title bar */

.ssd .titlebar {

    border-width: 0;

    box-shadow: none;

}

press ALT + F2, type r in the box that appears and hit Enter to reload the gnome shell.

And you're good to go :)

For maximized windows, I can recommend this Gnome Shell Extension called Pixel Saver by a guy deadalnix. The title bar will disappear (more space for notebook users), but you can still see the window title in the black activity bar.

Depending on your Linux distribution and the package manager and/or package, install Gnome Tweak Tool.

Select the "Fonts" tab in the side-menu.

Then, set the Text Height for Window Titles to as low a number as you like.

NOTE: this is only applicable for older versions of GNOME

  This applies to older versions of GNOME only. It is irrelevant for versions after 3.20, as @RobertLu mentioned in that answer.

    padding-bottom: 0px;

you can add this code (on the same file) to remove the line under the titlebar to reduce a little bit more the size:

/* No line below the title bar */

.ssd .titlebar {

    border-width: 0;

    box-shadow: none;

  This seems to no longer work on gnome-application in Gnome 3.20, see my questions here. Any ideas of how to modify the css to apply to gnome-programs, such as Nautilus in 3.20?

To reduce the titlebar size just create a css file in this location: ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css and copy paste the code below; this will resize the titlebar:

.header-bar.default-decoration {

        padding-top: 0px;

        padding-bottom: 0px;

    }



.header-bar.default-decoration .button.titlebutton {

    padding-top: 0px;

    padding-bottom: 0px;

}

you can add this code (on the same file) to remove the line under the titlebar to reduce a little bit more the size:

/* No line below the title bar */

.ssd .titlebar {

    border-width: 0;

    box-shadow: none;

}

press ALT + F2, type r in the box that appears and hit Enter to reload the gnome shell.

And you're good to go :)

For maximized windows, I can recommend this Gnome Shell Extension called Pixel Saver by a guy deadalnix. The title bar will disappear (more space for notebook users), but you can still see the window title in the black activity bar.

Depending on your Linux distribution and the package manager and/or package, install Gnome Tweak Tool.

Select the "Fonts" tab in the side-menu.

Then, set the Text Height for Window Titles to as low a number as you like.

NOTE: this is only applicable for older versions of GNOME

  Doesn't change the titlebar size, just the font size in the titlebar so no good.

  This applies to older versions of GNOME only. It is irrelevant for versions after 3.20, as @RobertLu mentioned in that answer.
