Okay, thanks very muchio for the helping (attempts?) ;)
my menu font size was already zero and setting padding.width: 0 does in  
fact help a little, but the two pixles that are left are not only there,  
disturbing my poor eyes :), they also are transparent or translucent or  
whatever, I can see through them as if there was a hole in my menu.
As to the window title: changing the font size does increase it, but it  
never goes down to 14px, which I want to have (actually it does go down to  
14px but i want to keep my border, which is two times one additional pixel)

That sounds neat, but I even don't know how recompiling is being done =D.  
Don't worry about me, Abitur comes first anyway, then I'll have a look in  
the web what recompiling means and will definitely dig arround in the  
source (which I too have never done before..)
I guess there also will be the number '14', which I will just change to  
twelve.. Thanx!
