To clear up confusions, let's do this with screen shots lol. The top is the Default Classic Blue WM 6.5.1 Build 23052 Theme. The bottom is my DragonWorld Classic Blue Theme from Build 23052. you'll notice mine has a bit more showing on the menus & lists.

Each Theme should have a .TSK file either in \Windows\ or \My Documents\Themes\ThemeName\. A .TSK is a special CAB especially used for applying Color & Image Path/Margin/Padding/Size/Etc Registries as well has the stwater images associated with the Theme. Upon selecting a theme, Today/Home settings installs said theme's .TSK. So it overwrites certain registries in the device & replaces the stwater images. In the CAB or even your device registry list, there's be a bunch of registries for these new 6.5 Themes including what image is use by said theme & what the margin/paddings are. Some even have a max image size reg. For this we are talking specifically about the selector Images for the Menu & ListView directories. Their Margin/Padding values are what determine the overall size of the Selector Image. This is the same as a Webpages Margin/Padding values.

This all means that those values are added to the Content's size for an overall size. So top Margin say = 8, top Padding say = 5, buttom Margin say = 12, & buttom Padding say = 8. So we add all values, 8+5+12+8+(Contents)say 15= 48 Pixels (Total Item Height).

Margin/Padding is important btw. They controll how an images is stretched. Most images have a few pixels around the outside that are Transparent & a couple more pixels in the form of a border like the SoftKey Bar Butto Images. You don't want the Border or Transparency being stretch. Not sure which (Margin/Padding) is for this border non stretching aspect though. So don't reduce them too much. If you notice the image border getting distorted, than increase the value some. It takes some playing around with these values to get it how you want it.

The easy way is to edit the device reg & soft reset, but this isn't optimal as an accidental change of the theme will overwrite any changes there. the better way is to edit the .TSK of the Theme you are using.
