Some more information that might be helpful: I'm looking to mimic the "Display Density" setting in GMail, which you can set to Comfortable, Cozy, or Compact.
In my message list, is there a way to increase the line height (and/or increase the padding in the y-direction) so that each item has more space between it and its neighbors? I'm not looking to increase the font size--that does not accomplish my goal.
Thanks in advance.
