Can I suggest something like [id^="sub-tree-item"] { margin-bottom: 0 !important; margin-top: 0 !important; } and maybe a little more work in the tree to tighten it up from there?

I've fixed some minor spacing issues in the tree, try it out now?
Unfortunately, their whole structure is not so easy to change, full of different positioning and box hacks.

@Aintaer: It's looking much better. Can you squeeze down the toolbars a bit? Move the search box back into some of the unused whitespace or (even better!) into a pop-up / pop-out?

I've been actually wanting to do that myself, but from a bit of cursory research, this seems to be a tad more difficult. Google's using that space as a context-dependent button bar (kinda like Microsoft's Ribbon but with huge spacing issues).

I'll see if I can't do some non-disruptive shuffling around.

@Aintaer: Yeah, I didn't think it would be easy to move the search bar around.

By the way, have you considered deflating the menus? I ended up settling on this for now. Keeps the checkbox(es) visible for me and leaves some left and right padding.

.goog-menu { padding-bottom: 0 !important; }
.goog-menuitem { border: none !important; padding: 0px 18px 0 24px !important; }

I poked around and found that in Fullscreen mode, Reader has a control-hiding panel. So I've simply "convinced" it to show normally as well.
