There is no height control for horizontal scrolling tickers. The ticker will resize its height depending on the content that is shown.
There are some padding/margin adjustments that can be made with the ticker by selecting the Display tab and then clicking the Edit Display icon for the selected display. The default ticker has a transparent background and 10px padding within the Content Styles section. If you remove the padding it would decrease the height a bit. Also, within the Item Styles section you can remove the Max Width of the items and force items to not to text wrap for longer text.
If your issue is the space between the ticker and the menu, that is due to the margin that is applied to the widgets from your theme. If there are multiple widgets in a sidebar there is a top margin applied to all but the first:
.widget+.widget {
margin-top: 3em;
}
You can override this (for the menu widget) with custom css added to your Customizer panel (or anywhere else you can add custom css):
#black-studio-tinymce-35 {
margin-top: 20px;
}
Adjust the margin as needed.
Thanks for the reply! Very kind of you, since it’s not an issue with your code.
I get this error message:
`Don’t Panic
The code snippet you are trying to save produced a fatal error on line 2:
syntax error, unexpected ‘:’
The previous version of the snippet is unchanged, and the rest of this site should be functioning normally as before.
Please use the back button in your browser to return to the previous page and try to fix the code error. If you prefer, you can close this page and discard the changes you just made. No changes will be made to this site.`
I’ve searched around for possible syntax issues, but don’t see any solutions. Do you see anything that could be causing this message?
Thank you!

No problem, glad to help!
As for your other issue, I’m not clear on what you are attempting to do. If you are trying to add custom css, I suggest using the default WP customizer at Dashboard > Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS.
CSS can not be added directly as a code snippet without being surrounded by appropriate tags, if you’re trying to add it through a code snippets plugin.
Let me know if this resolves your issue.
Wow. That solved the problem right before my eyes in real time. Thank you! Sigh. I guess this is the sign that I need to learn about 200% more CSS than I know. Just enough NOT to be dangerous. ; )
Have a great week!
