If you're using the BTA Design Menu, you could look at the code that makes the menu area, and see how it creates the header, and how it determines the size of the "row" area, and reduce the overall height of it. I can't give you specific code to do so, since I haven't played around with that plugin much yet, but perhaps someone else (or the plugin developer) could lend a hand. Good luck!

Good idea to try asking the plug in author - I'll give it a go. Thanks again! Comments Thanks, Stobe. I'm using the Menu with Image plugin by Susan Metoxen.

The row items are added to a view that is defined by height in the plugin .m file. You should be able to modify the height to be something like "device height - header height - 50px" (but in code terms, not in english, lol). Comments Ok, same thought process.
