How to change gnome-classic panel size?

**turkel.christopher** · May 23rd, 2014

I am trying to change the size of the panels from the default 30 pixels to 24 and all the info I can find is about gnome flashback and the tips don't work.

Classic in 13.10 and 14.04 is variation of the Gnome Shell and if changing the panel size is possible it would require an extension or editing the shell css file.

I found it though I don't understand the measurement used:

Code:

#panel {
    background-color: black;
    font-weight: bold;
    height: 1.86em;
}

What is 1.86em? em?

Yes, it looks like some kind of standard css measurement I'll have to study.

No I'm not trying to theme, I'm just trying to change the size of a panel.
