I tried using

except comboboxes.

It is almost always better to allow controls to have 
their default 
heights.  The different platforms usually have 
different native sizes 
for a reason and if you try to force it to be 
different then you start 
to lose the native LnF.

That said, the wxComboBox on wxMac is not a true 
native control but is a 
composite used to work around the native combo not 
fitting into the wx 
API (or something like that.)  So it's possible that 
it is not passing 
the WindowVariant setting on to the individual 
controls like it should 
be.  Please enter a bug report about this.
