The bookmark code is fine. The problem is caused by a double trailing brace on the line above the red part. i.e. the existing code was faulty.

No problem.

The trick with syntax errors in long code is to remember that the code above the error will (very often) still work and will break immediately below it. Saves you having to read the dross line by line - you just check immediately below the last working section of code.

/* 11-28-2018 THIS makes less SPACING between ITEMS ON THE BOOKMARK TOOLBAR */

#PlacesToolbarItems toolbarbutton.bookmark-item {
padding-left: -4px !important; /* default is 4px */
padding-right: -4px !important; /* default is 4px */
}
#PlacesToolbarItems .toolbarbutton-icon {
margin-right: -4px !important; /* default is 4px */
}
That is most definitely not what I posted!!

LoveMyFoxy, you are I assume of the school of why do something simple when you can make it complicated. As noted above this

Code: Select all

/* THIS REDUCES SPACING  [-6px] TO THE ITEMS ON THE BOOKMARK TOOLBAR */
 
#personal-bookmarks .bookmark-item {
      margin-left: -6px !important;
}
You can of course do a different amount of px depending an the length of your bookmark/folder names.
These are the results for the folders on the bookmark toolbar, +6px top and -6px bottom.

It works. It is simple. Yet you resist?????????

I didn't resist, it just didn't move anything. Nor did Jscher's code. I took screenshots before and after. Thanks for your time.

That's a somewhat dishonest version of what actually happened, isn't it? You actually incorrectly altered both sets of code yourself and that is the real reason it didn't move anything.

It's no good thanking people for their time, when you have deliberately gone out of your way to waste it.

This time I copied it exactly as written. It doesn't work for me. I'm thanking him because I have no more time for it.

It happens. I have a rare FlashPlayer disease that no one on the Flash forum can cure, although it's been viewed 117 times.

You can copy it as much as you like, but until you change your existing faulty code, as mentioned above, it's not going to work.

Both sets of code work fine.

Do you think I came just to troll, after being here so many years?

2 partial screenshots of last 3 folders in 2nd row, one before applying code, one after.
