To reduce spacing in rows in Webflow when specifying a specific pixel amount doesn't change the height, you can try the following steps:

  1. Inspect the elements: Use the browser's inspector tool or Webflow's built-in designer to identify the elements that are adding extra spacing to the rows.

  2. Check for padding or margin: Look for padding or margin settings on the row element itself, as well as on any parent or child elements. Adjust these settings to reduce the spacing.

  3. Use negative margin: If adjusting padding or margin isn't sufficient, you can try using negative margin to override the spacing. Apply a negative margin value to the element that is causing the extra space. Start with small negative values and adjust them as needed until you achieve the desired spacing.

  4. Combine elements: Sometimes, the extra spacing is due to the presence of other elements within the row. You can try combining elements into a single element or using a different layout structure to minimize the spacing.

  5. Adjust flexbox settings: If your row is using a flexbox layout, you can adjust the flexbox settings to control the spacing between elements. Specifically, you can modify the justify-content and align-items properties to align the elements more tightly.

  6. Consider custom code: If none of the above solutions work, you can consider using custom code to target and modify specific elements on your page. This can be done using CSS overrides or JavaScript to manipulate the spacing as desired.

Remember to preview and test your changes across different screen sizes to ensure that the reduced spacing does not adversely affect the layout or user experience.
