title: How do I make items in an Ionic list smaller (less tall)?
body: <p>The items in a standard <code>ion-list</code> of <code>ion-items</code> are too big for my app. How do I make them vertically smaller/shorter?</p>
  
  <p>It seems that trying to modify the margin properties of the <code>.item</code> class yields results that are, well, complete nonsense. This is not the answer. Modifying the padding properties of the same seems not to do anything. Also not the answer.</p>
