How to increase distance of the tabpanel buttons from top?

Classic Servoy

Hello Servoy Developers

I am trying to increase the distance of the tabpanel buttons from the top (or right or …) without success. The distance to the tabpanel border seems always to be something like 5px whereas I would like to have 12 … 14 px.
Did someone accomplish this? I also tried with styles and thought may be borderr-width could do it, but no success (I did not even see an effect of border-width).

tabpanel
{
color: black ;
border-style: none; // border-style: none, inset, ?
//border-width: 0px 0px 0px 0px;
}

The only thing I see at the moment is adding an intermediate form with a header part, but obviously I am trying to avoid that.

Thanks for help, Robert

Hi Robert,

I haven’t tried this with a css style but you should be able to use an empty border for that. I tested it on the mac and it works.

However, when you really want a border there is no way to do that. At least that is my conclusion. Maybe it is an idea to file a request for compoundBorder. That will add the option to combine two borders…

Hope this helps a little,

That solves the problem in a very easy way and very handy, thanks a lot!

It helped a lot as mentioned above :-) No, I do not want a border (colour).
I do not exactly understand what’s your idea behind the compoundBorder. But for me, it would fulfill all my (current .-) requirements, if one could use Special Matte (instead of Empty) and apply additonally an empty border. Now, as far as I found out, one can only apply either empty borders or coloured borders, but not mixed. And with Special Matte and having the posibility to also specifiy an empty border, one could mix.
What do you think?
