GTK+ MenuItem Size Small
<p>On a machine running Windows, the MenuItems are too small for my use case.<br></p>

<p>Therefore, my question is, "<em>how I may increase the font size of the text "Save", "Load" and "Exit?"</em> "<br></p>

<p>If not, then <em>how can I increase the padding between the MenuItems?</em><br>
(without adding more of those line separators as seen between "Load" and "Exit")</p>

<p>Additionally, how may I remove the intermediate variable <em>SubMenu1</em>, if possible?</p>

<p><br></p>

<pre><code>#include &lt;gtk/gtk.h&gt;

    GtkWidget* SubMenu1 = gtk_menu_new();

    GtkWidget* Item_Save = gtk_menu_item_new_with_mnemonic("_Save");
    GtkWidget* Item_Load = gtk_menu_item_new_with_mnemonic("_Load");

    gtk_menu_shell_append(GTK_MENU_SHELL(SubMenu1), Item_Save);

    GtkWidget* VerticalBox;

    VerticalBox = gtk_box_new(GTK_ORIENTATION_VERTICAL, 0);
