- Where to find it
- Labelled Padding in the Widget Settings drawer (gear in the widget header).
- Per device
- Yes — you can set one value for every screen, or separate values for phone, tablet, and desktop.
- Underlying CSS
padding
In plain English
Padding cushions the content of the widget away from its own edges. Background colour and border sit outside that cushion; the rows sit inside it.
When you would use it
- A coloured or bordered widget needs inset so the first row is not flush with the edge.
How to change it
- Open Widget Settings from the gear in the widget header, then "Padding".
One value, or one per device? Every input in this setting sits under a “Same value for all resolutions” checkbox. Leave it checked for a single value everywhere, or uncheck it to give phones, tablets, and desktops their own. How per-device values work.
Watch out for
- This setting is left out on the editing canvas so the drag-and-drop surface stays full size. Open Preview to see it applied.
- Padding does not separate rows from each other — use Gap for the vertical rhythm between rows.
