How to resize font size on window title bar on gnome?

By default window title bar on Gnome has bigger font size. How can I resize that font size on window title bar? I want it to be smaller like on KDE or MS Windows.

In Gnome 3, you can adjust titlebar fonts with gnome-tweak-tool:

Fonts > Window title font

or dconf-editor:

org > gnome > desktop > wm > preferences :: titlebar-font

or gsettings (in terminal):

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences titlebar-font 'Droid Bold 10'

where Droid Bold is the name/type of your font and 10 is the size. This works as long as your titlebar doesn't use system fonts:

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences titlebar-uses-system-font false

Does this work on 14.04? – Mr. P – 2014-06-27T09:33:30.257

is there any gui application to do this configuration? – Habibillah – 2012-11-08T01:54:57.340

dconf-editor is unreliable in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/d-conf/+bug/1024168

You could just open

dconf-editor by typing that in terminal
go to: org > gnome > desktop > interface
change the titlebar font.

dconf-editor can reset a property to default value (if you forgot it like me) – aliopi – 2016-12-22T15:16:24.310
