Can you paste the code I need to do it? I don't mind trying again.

For the top menubar:
Enabling the nickel standard patch 'Custom menubar - reduce height by 50%' should be OK as-is.
For the original Aura6" it will reduce it from 91px to 45px and the Clara from 121px to 60px.
My Aura6" is no longer active but on a Clara this is about 4.5mm height. Just to give you an idea what a patched Clara kepub should look like...
If you have Reading Settings > Show title
- CHECKED - the top menubar is 4.5mm and the 1st line of text is immediately below it.
- UNCHECKED - the top menubar is still 4.5mm but it will overlap the 1st line of text which is now about 3.5mm from the top of the screen.
You can decrease these numbers as you wish (until the pips squeak) although, to be honest, if you have large fingers 4.5mm is already a bit small for hitting the icons in the top menu. For this reason some users prefer the patch 'Custom menubar - reduce height by 33%' which results in a top menubar of about 6mm on a Clara.
I'll need to come back to the footer. It's the nickel patch 'Custom reading footer style'. It has quite a lot of moving parts and it's such a long time since I chose my customised settings that I need to remind myself what I did.
If neither of these suit you there is also the newer nickel patch called 'Reduce top/bottom page spacer'. I don't use this one myself but I seem to remember it was created for those who used to like the old 'fullscreen option' before Kobo removed it in favour of the new Show title & Show footer options.
