twentythirteen – where is the height of the navbar defined – want to decrease it

[jevans17]

I have a child theme for twenty thirteen and have made several alterations

I have a header of 230px (same as the default)
BUT I want to decrease the height of the navbar
it seems to be 75px in height but I cannot find where it is defined.
something must be defining it elsewhere in style.css
or am I wrong?

please help with what will seem to be a simple matter but i am stumped

regards

John

It is not defined anywhere but takes the size of the font and padding inside the link that is .nav-menu li a. Easiest would be to decrease the padding there.

Without providing a link or demo, you’re usually unlikely to get a reply by the way.

dear Shikkediel,
thanks for prompt reply. However alterations to the style.css where you suggested did not have any effect. :(
I now layout my problems for this navbar if you would be good enough to read it and find time to help me again please.

my website plan is on http://www.retrobrain.co.uk/wp-login

1. the grey navbar is about 75px in height. I want to make it about half that.

I have created menu buttons on the navbar by calling a class in style.css

I call it by putting (<button class=”navbtnhome”>home</button>) in the navigation label in menus
2. I cannot change the menu button colour in that class (inheriting it I suppose.)

child style.css here: https://codepen.io/jevans17/pen/WGkRVa

any further info needed then please ask.

PLEASE help – Thanks

John
