Fluent theme feature to support spacing options

I would like the fluent theme to support spacing option like it does fonts. The Mail app added a new setting "Folder and message spacing" in which you can pick spacious , medium, or compact. I would like the fluent theme to support something similar.  The fluent theme was defined for "finger" access but we still have desktop apps that want dense information with mouse access.  I would normally just pick a different theme but because of Windows 10, I can't. Windows 10 no longer supports specifying a default font and WPF no longer defaults to the OS font. This means that all my Windows apps must support picking a font. So I'm stuck with the fluent theme. But I don't always want the "spacious" spacing that the theme uses.

Would it be possible to support picking "spacious", "medium" or "compact" spacing?

Hi David,

Please excuse us for the delay. 

The suggested feature seems as a quite interesting idea. However, I am missing some details on it. What controls should support this spacing? If this should be supported by all the controls from the suite, the effort to alter the current Fluent theme implementation to include this will be tremendous. However, if this should be supported only by some of the controls you can list them and then we can review and eventually log requests for them. Or alternatively, we can consider to include such implementation when designing our next theme.

In the meantime you can achieve your requirement per control, but setting the Width and Height of the corresponding control, manually.

Hello David,

We are currently working with limited resources and will need some additional time to process the inquiry. I am leaving the thread open and we will write back with more information on the case as soon as possible. Most probably after the holidays.

Thank you for understanding.
