I've been trying to have small sliders, too. Finally figured out what the Help on Manipulate meant: you put the "ImageSize -> Tiny" (or whatever size) _after_ ControlType -> Slider (or whatever the type). Unfortunately, you need to do this redundant specification if you want to change the size of any controls in Manipulate. Or at least you do for sliders.
