Web client wastes tons of vertical space with two-line format

While changing PCs I've come to realize that Zimbra Desktop has been EOL for a while. Though it occasionally (rarely) burped and had to be restarted, I very much liked it.
I've opened the Web Client, and I HATE its gratuitous waste of screen real estate. Does anyone know how to change the display format to one-line per e-mail thread like Zimbra Desktop did? I've looked around but don't see anything obvious. I guess I'll walk through the multitude of themes. The two-line format is NOT awesome.

I may not be understanding what you are saying but the theme I use (hotrod) didn't work for my linux workstation with firefox because there was too much spacing. I did this:
Code: Select all
mail:~/Zimbra/patch-scripts:46> cat fix-skins.sh
#!/bin/sh
PATH=/usr/bin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:$PATH export PATH
#
# Note: needs to be run as root
#
theme="/opt/zimbra/jetty/webapps/zimbra/skins/hotrod/skin.properties"
# Only add if not present
grep "JAD" $theme > /dev/null 2>&1
if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
su zimbra -c 'echo "
#JAD
# Actual line-to-line spacing is 2px more than this
ListItemHeight = height:16px;
TreeItemHeight = height:16px;" ' >> $theme
fi
su - zimbra -c "/opt/zimbra/bin/zmprov flushCache skin"
exit 0
I have to do this sometimes after updates and upgrades of course. We didn't see this spacing problem with other platforms but perhaps this gives you an idea of a workaround if this is the spacing problem you are talking about.
HTH,
Jim

If you really want to go very deep indeed down the Themes rabbit hole in the Classic web UI, this link is for you:
