To add padding to objects I suggest to use a Frame widget with the various pad_* styles provided by elm. This method do not allow you to perfectly define the pixel size, but usually expressing a size in the app code is the wrong approach, unless you take care yourself of scaling those fixed pixel sizes to the actual dpi of the device your app ir running onto. > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > _______________________________________________ > enlightenment-devel mailing list > enlightenment-devel@lists.sourceforge.net > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-devel > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ enlightenment-devel mailing list enlightenment-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-devel
