Hi Johannes,

the enumitem package provides convenient ways for customizing lists. The manual shows how to do it, also with a global setting. Especially if you would like to do further changes, I recommend to use this package.

Please provide us with a Infominimal working example (if you're not sure what that is please follow the link and read it) that shows where you're struggling
