# Line spacing
Zulip lets you adjust line spacing in the web and desktop apps, to make the UI
feel comfortable for you. Most importantly, this setting modifies how much space
there is between lines of text in multi-line messages. You can experiment to see
what configuration makes reading most pleasant for you.
Reducing line spacing and [font size](/help/font-size) may be helpful on small
screens, so that you can see more content at a time.
## Change line spacing
{start_tabs}
{tab|desktop-web}
{!personal-menu.md!}
1. Click <i class="zulip-icon zulip-icon-plus"></i> to increase the line
spacing, <i class="zulip-icon zulip-icon-minus"></i> to decrease it, and <i
class="zulip-icon zulip-icon-line-height-big"></i> to reset to the default.
{end_tabs}
