Need some help with CSS for joomla template

Hi,

I made a template in Artisteer and you can see the results in the screenshot below.

what I'm trying to achieve is that the left menu (and only that menu) has some more spacing vertical between the words. Whatever I try i fail to do this. Could somebody help me out please ?

works liek a charm, i also added one for ul.menu lu.
But one more question i see now that the spacing between HotSpot Spa and Tempo is not correct

I also see that the bullets i use are still in their old position so I guess there's something else that needs to be done ?

Add this as well:

ul.menu li ul {padding-top:0px; padding-bottom:0px}

nope does not change anything

I notice this:

body, p {
font-family: Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,Sans-Serif;
font-size: 16px;
line-height: 125%;
text-align: justify;
}

The line height here is cascading into you lists, try removing 'body' and adding any elements you use i.e. h1 h2 etc

i removed that line from body but nothing changed in the menu

could it be this:

.art-blockcontent-body ul li
{

line-height: 1.25em;
padding: 0 0 0 14px;
background-image: url('../images/blockcontentbullets.png');
background-repeat: no-repeat;
}

as soon as i change something from padding there, then the bullet is put at the exterme left and the text on top if it.

i think i know what the problem is...

Its the image you are using, it is fixed Xpx from top, and not centering. I bet if you removed

background-image: url('../images/blockcontentbullets.png');
background-repeat: no-repeat;

the default ones would appear, and they would be spaced correctly.
