I'll add this as well.

I think there's a built in theme editor which you can use for Linux.

The problem isn't the game list, it's the analysis window - which is 
bigger, it's difficult to know what the biggest analysis it will display 
is, and I'm not sure setting it to the biggest value is the best 
solution (as the game window will be smaller).

One possible work around is to move the buttons to the right (after the 
game list drop down), it will then work most of the time (except when 
the board is the smallest it can be - so it can't shrink any more).
