 * At this moment I have this:
 *     ```
       .main-navigation .main-nav ul li a,
       .menu-toggle {
             line-height: 30px;
       }
   
       .main-navigation ul ul {
           top: 30px;
       }
   
       .navigation-search input {
           height: 30px;
           line-height: 0;
       }
       ```
   
 * The sub-menu is also 30px heigh, but I want that sub-menu is shorter e.g. 20px.
   How can I change this?
 * I’ve tried this:
 *     ```
       .sub-menu,
       .sub-menu a {
       line-height: 20px !important;
       }
       ```
   
 * But unfortunately the height of the sub-menu is still 30px.
 * Thanks in advance!

 * The sub-menu items use top/bottom padding to make the height.
 * This is default:
 *     ```
       .main-navigation .main-nav ul ul li a {
           padding-top: 10px;
           padding-bottom: 10px;
       }
       ```
