Use a different plasma desktop theme. Settings for this are available from the 
appearance settings in the desktop context menu. Also, it is not "kicker" any 
more. Its the "plasma panel".

Do you mean that you want to reduce the height of the panel? First, make sure 
that widgets are unlocked. If the context menu for the panel offers you an 
option to "Unlock Widgets", do that.

Then right click on the panel -> panel options -> panel settings. That should 
rise a settings bar that shows above the panel. It has a button called 
"height". Click and drag on it to adjust the height to your taste.
