Added "condensed tab" display option #84

Closed rwpenney closed 3 years ago

This patch adds a "preferences" setting for reducing the size of window labels in the multi-tab display.

In the normal lxterminal setup, these window tabs can occupy a significant amount of space, which can be wasteful when used on a small screen. With this patch, the size of the tabs can be reduced to only about 20 pixels in height, which is big enough to read, but saves more space for the window content.

While I am all for compact interfaces myself, I do not think this sort of visual tweak makes sense as an application setting. This really should be achieved with a GTK style/theme, especially since they can be application-specific now.
