Is there any chance to change (decrease) the space between the menu entries? The "line spacing" in the modern player is very generous and a lot of scrolling is necessary with the modern player where no scrolling is needed with the classic player. Don't get me wrong: the modern player ist most welcome! But this issue is one of the very few things I have problems with.
This question is over a year old, and still no good answer. I just switched to the Modern player, and agree that the spacing in the menu is much too generous. Is there any way to squeeze menu items closer together?
I'm putting together recommendations on whether to use the Classic or Modern Player - seems like a no brainer, right? But the line spacing in between Menu items in the Modern Player is much too big and makes the Modern Player a poor choice for many applications that have complex menus. Its nice you can reduce the font size, but that doesn't help.
I get that you are probably trying to allow for fat fingers on a tablet, but it would seem a valuable feature to at least have an option for single spacing and double spacing. Please tell me it's on the new feature list!
I understand what you're saying about the line spacing in the Modern Player! Changing the line spacing is not on our roadmap as we continue toward complying with WCAG standards.
The line spacing in the Modern Player is formatted to comply with one standard that focuses on target size.
The intent of this success criteria is to ensure that target sizes are large enough for users to easily activate them, even if the user is accessing content on a small handheld touch screen device, has limited dexterity, or has trouble activating small targets for other reasons.
If you have any questions, please let me know. I'm happy to help!
I vote for an option to decrease the spacing of the "Menu" items. We do not use this as a "menu". People do not pick and choose what slides they want to view. It is a table of contents to get an overview of where they are in the course. Even with removing slides that don't need to be in the Table of Contents and indenting sub-items, the wide spacing does not give the birdseye view of how they are progressing in the course.

Hi Hermann,
I haven't had a chance to play with the modern player yet, but looks great!
