[solved]All My Toolbars Are Too Spaced Out

Doing that did not solve the problem. It merely removed my customized widths (which I then had to restore manually) but did not change the vertical spacing between items in the toolbar.

Please can you post here the screenshot of your toolbal?

Why did you remove Metrics from the settings menu? How now can I set the vertical spacing between items in the toolbar?

I don't remove any option. The settings from the Metrics page were moved to Toolbar->Sizes and to the Menu->Sizes
