How do you indent the bullets. In artisteer there doesn't seems to be any way to edit the margins or padding or whatever is needed to make the bullets look indented. I tried some html codes and it indented the text but not the bullets. Does anyone know how to edit the css file to indent bullets or have experience with this tweek?

In Artisteer, set your "bullet" color to something *really* obscure color, like "aabbcc" for the Articles bullets and "ccbbaa" for the block bullets.

Generate your theme.

Search the CSS for those "colors". Edit the padding values until you get a desired result.

Padding values are "A B C D" where a=top b=right c=bottom and d=left

So something like

padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px

So there is no way to do this in Artisteer?? Is it on the list for the next version?

I thought about this a lot and finally came up with a relatively clean solution.

1. Install the Custom User CSS plugin in your WP blog

2. Add the following CSS code on the plugin's configuration page:

.BlockContent-body ul li
{
margin: 0 0 0 15px;
}

.Post ul li
{
margin: 0 0 0 15px;
}


That's it. And you don't have to re-edit the CSS file if you update the theme.

I stumbled into a partial solution in Artisteer.

Go to Articles | Styling dropdown | Margin | More margins... (very bottom, a window pops up) | Bullets (left side of window).

That gives you an option to set the offset for the bullet text, which will move the text further away or closer to your bullets.

Nothing in Artisteer yet to change position of actual bullets, as far as I can see...
