Adjusting the spacing between two blocks

[Akshtsaklani7]

Hello,

I'm using smf 2.0.8 with simpleportal. There is no vertical spacing between the blocks that makes it look a bit ugly and this is probably due to my theme. Is there a way to adjust spacing between the blocks?


How it should look.

You should address this question to the author of that theme (he will know better than anybody else!), plus it's not really a 2.0.x support question... More a graphics and templates question
A tip: if you don't provide a link to that page it's impossible anyway to help you, even if I could have done that.

Well it's kinda easy if you aren't looking for something particularly crazy so you might don't even need the theme author for this...

In file:
/Themes/Reseller/css/index.css

Code (find) Select Expand


div.cat_bar
{
background: #34495e;
padding-left: 9px;
height: 35px;
overflow: hidden;
margin-bottom: 1px;

Code (add after) Select Expand



margin: 4px;

Same file:

Code (find) Select Expand


/* Alternating backgrounds for posts, and several other sections of the forum. */
.windowbg, #preview_body, .windowbg2, .windowbg3
{
color: #000;
background-color: #fff;
border-radius: 4px;
margin: 0.2em 0;

Code (replace) Select Expand


/* Alternating backgrounds for posts, and several other sections of the forum. */
.windowbg, #preview_body, .windowbg2, .windowbg3
{
color: #000;
background-color: #fff;
border-radius: 4px;
margin: 0.2em 4px;

If you check what I have edited you can easily figure out how to tweak the pixels if you want it larger or smaller. I just set 4 pixels since IMHO it looks good

Tell me if it works (it should, I am seeing it looking great here, just remember to clear both browser and forum cache )

Um, I think he just wants to fix the portal block spacing. not change the spacing everywhere those classes are used on every SMF page/action/whatever. This is a Simple Portal CSS problem, nothing to do with default theme as such.

Thank you for looking into it. The theme author helped. The issue is solved
