The menu bar is a little too tall for my taste and I'd like to make it shorter, but cannot find an easy way to change it in the css. Does anyone know a decent way to change menu bar height without blowing anything else up?

Thanks!

I would recommend performing CSS adjustments as explained within the following article:

Thank you for replying. I understand the css needs adjustment and how to do so without modifying source code, but which interrelated elements of the menu css need adjustment? Thanks!

I understand this too but in which CSS file do you do the changes?
In my case I want to reduce the text style to a lower one. I guess you do this in the same CSS file.
I just want to make some adjustment.
First make a backup of the original CSS file and then rename the CSS file to custom.css.

I copied the file template.css and named it as the new file custom.css

Then I wanted to changed the size of the text in the main menu so I scrolled down the file to find the section beginning:

/* Main menu CSS */

This is about halfway through the file
I looked for the section on text size and changed the size from 24pt to 18pt


.navbar .nav > li > a {
color: #FFFFFF;
font-size: 24px;
font-weight: normal;
text-shadow: none;
padding: 23px 36px;
text-transform:uppercase;

I then wanted to change the font size in the dropdown menu from 22pt to 16pt so I scrolled down to find:


.dropdown-menu > li > a {
font-size: 22px;
font-family: 'OswaldLight', cursive;
color: #FFFFFF;
padding: 5px 10px;
text-transform:uppercase;


I will probably need to change quite a few other things so will need to search through.

I think it would be a good idea to have these basic text sizes adjustable in the main template configuration panel in future updates please.
