    I would like to make left side icons smaller. Also is it possible to make distance between canvas and end of the program window smaller(from the top as well)?

    Go into Edit / Preferences, then click on Interface at the left, then select Theme.

    You can make some changes there in the 'Display Icons' section, including selecting smaller icons. I hope that helps with what you want.

    Inkscape needs to be restarted to see the icons re-sized.

    @TylerDurdenΒ thanks xD. Is it possible to make distance between canvas and edge of the program window narrower?

    The canvas is infinite... you might be referring to the Page.Β http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL/html/Anatomy.html

    It's actually area between tool box and canvas.

    In preferences: No

    Using some gtk CSS: yes, but it's rather involved (see style.css in "share/inkscape/ui" folder; you might want to use GTK Inspector to know which properties to play with)

    Btw: You could also try the upcoming version of Inkscape (see development builds in download section) which already ships with a theme that tries to reduce unnecessary whitespace as much as possible.
