How do I reduce the spacing for pulldown menus in forefox?

[Negativeions]

I'm using Firefox 3.6.3 on windows 7. Is there a way I can reduce the horizontal spacing between items in the pulldown menus in Firefox, especially the bookmarks menu. I'm using the default theme. I couldn't find anything when searching... thanks.

See what this does for you in userChrome.css.

Code: Select all

.menu-accel, .menu-iconic-accel,
.menu-text, .menu-iconic-text {
margin-top: 1px !important;
margin-bottom: 0px !important;
padding-top: 0px !important;
padding-bottom: 0px !important;
min-height: 17px !important;
max-height: 17px !important;
}

Nothing happens.
Not a single thing changed. Everything looks exactly the same. How is that possible?

This is how my userCHrome.css file looks like:

@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only needed once */

.menu-accel, .menu-iconic-accel,
.menu-text, .menu-iconic-text {
margin-top: 1px !important;
margin-bottom: 0px !important;
padding-top: 0px !important;
padding-bottom: 0px !important;
min-height: 17px !important;
max-height: 17px !important;
}

it's in c:\users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\%profile%\chrome

is this correct?

Is the file name actually userCHrome.css? If so, it should be userChrome.css. Note the capital 'C' only.

I use those codes in mine so I know they work. You could also try removing the @namespace part also. I've never had it in mine.

You can also try code like this below the @namespace line

Code: Select all

menupopup menu, menupopup menuitem {
 height:14px!important;
 font-size:12px!important;
}
menuseparator {margin: -3px 3px -3px 0px !important;}

#contentAreaContextMenu menuitem {height:14px!important;font-size:13px!important}


Make sure the you spell userChrome.css correctly (typo? userCHrome.css) and that the file doesn't have a hidden .txt file extension, check that in the Properties.
