Container Margins

Trying to build a DNN 5.x skin. No matter what settings I use in Artisteer (i.e. Block Spacing, Left Margin Setting, Text Padding), I always end up with no margins at all.

My text is on the very left edge of the container (which looks too unprofessional)

How can I get the margins to export to a DNN skin properly?

Artisteer helped me out (and over a holiday/sunday as well)

Didn't realize that I had to use only the containers that were included with the Artisteer skin. Once I did that everything looked perfect.

this doesn't make sense. I have hundreds of containers, why would I belimiited to 2 if I use an artisteer template? Can someone direct me to a workaround for this 0px margin issue?

Have the same problem. No matter what settings I use, I end up with no margins.

I don't understand solution, to use only containers that were included with the Artisteer skin. Please, any solution will spare me a lot of time when I'm trying to solve this

Hi John and Matjaz

Artisteer have chosen to combine skin and container CSS into 1 file which is placed in the skin. The margins and paddings added in artisteer are controlled with specific classes which is only added inside the artisteer containers.

That means, if you want the defined margins to apply to your other containers, they must either have their own css file with that defined, or they must have the art- style classes included in the code.

So in short.. it's because artisteer have placed all container css in the skin css file.
