shortened height of nav bar

I can't figure out how to reduce nav bar height. The nav bar is part of a paid nav bar generator so some of the code is not familiar to me. When I lowered the height in the below code, it goofed up the nav bar. Any help would be appreciated.

#cssmenu {
width: auto;
height: 58px;
padding-bottom: 4px;
}

This would require a lot of changes to the CSS - can you not do this in the program itself?

Could not find any way to modify this in the program. I know - weird huh. Attempts to contact company have not been successful. : (

I guess it will be "good enough".

Thanks.

There was no height under bg-four. Did you wnat me to add it? Or, did you want me to modify bg-one?

#cssmenu #bg-four {
bottom: 4px;
z-index: 4;
background: url('bg.png');
}

The work you suggested did shortend the height. Yippee! Only problems I see now is that the nav bar is cutting into logo and you can't see nav button names. Getting there!

Hot dang you are good! Only problem now is that I need the last button to be first. The order got messed up. It should begin with PreMedia and end with Home. (this is what I ran into when trying to fix on my own).

That did it!

I was taught over 10 years ago, to put the home on the right or bottom of the nav bar. The rationale was that when people visit your site, they normally enter it via the home page. So right from the get-go they have to skip the first button on your nav bar.

Maybe that isn't good logic but it makes sense to me....

A++++!

Most people just use the logo as a link to the home page and remove it from any nav menu completely.

You'd be surprised how many people I run into don't know that!

It's a commonly accepted action to click the logo to go to the home page for visitors - at least it is for most websites.
