Excessive Font Awesome Icons causing navigation bar to appear oversized

My Font Awesome icons are causing my navbar to expand in height. Despite resetting all margin and padding to 0, adjusting the margins and paddings of the icons has not helped. I even tried setting negative top and bottom margins/paddings.

I want the icons to fit snugly in the navbar with minimal space between them and the top/bottom edges.

Answer №1

After some experimentation, I found that implementing a max-height for my navigation bar effectively resolved the problem at hand.

Answer №2

To adjust the height of the navigation bar, use the following CSS code:

   nav{
    height:60px;
   }


nav{
height:60px;}
