[SOLVED] Is there a way to add padding inside Mousepad?

RaySurf · 2024-12-14 19:36:38

in a Mousepad document the text is hard up against the left edge

Is there a way to add some padding?

Which version of mousepad?

Try:

.mousepad .sourceview {padding-left: 10px;}

...in ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css.

great thanks... that did someting,

it put some padding inside the row number side bar, but it still helps, thanks

Mousepad 0.5.10 (on debian bookworm)

oh, just realised the latest release is 0.6.3 released (2024/10/21 12:18)

edit: actually the padding is between the row numbers and the text, it just looked like it was part of the numbers bar because of my colour theme

You can also specify a background colour if you want to change it to be the same colour as the sourceview window:

.mousepad .sourceview {padding-left: 10px; background-color: red}

...change "red" to whatever colour name or #rrggbb matches.

I am also interested in a small adjustment in mousepad. Is it possible to insert a space between the line numbers and the actual text?
3-4 px would be enough, then it would be easier to place the cursor in front of the beginning of a line.
Thanks in advance and regards

Does the above work for this use case? It puts padding between the line numbers and the text.

it looks like any file that is longer (number of lines) than what will fit inside the open window, will show the margin padding with just black background color

if the file number of lines is less than what fits in the window height, then the padding background color works fine

Any way to remove the black color for files with large number of rows (lines)?

ToZ · 2024-12-24 18:20:19

Are you referring to the background colour of the line numbers column? If so,

.sourceview border {background-color: red;}

daniewicz · 2024-12-24 19:33:35

The black strip is just to the right of the line numbers column.

ToZ · 2024-12-24 19:35:53

If you've used the tweak above, then I don't see a way to do that. If something else, can you post a screenshot?

That's odd.
What version of mousepad are you running and can you post back the contents of your ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css? I can't replicate this on the latest version.

daniewicz · 2024-12-25 02:44:57

~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css

@import 'colors.css';
.mousepad .sourceview {padding-left: 10px;}
.mousepad .sourceview {padding-left: 10px; background-color: #FFFFFF}

also, mousepad 0.6.1

ToZ · 2024-12-25 11:38:35

What "Color Scheme" are you using and if you change color schemes does the problem persist?

Can you try with the first line of that snippet removed?

And if still nothing, try the following:

.mousepad .sourceview {padding-left: 10px;}
.mousepad .sourceview {padding-left: 10px; background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0.0);}

...or:

.mousepad .sourceview {padding-left: 10px;}
.mousepad .sourceview {padding-left: 10px; background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0.0);}

daniewicz · 2024-12-25 19:46:02

Not using any color scheme. Changed scheme to classic but problem persists.

Tried your suggestions for changes to ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css but problem persists.

ToZ · 2024-12-26 02:40:45

Hmmm. I rebuilt 0.6.1 from source and can replicate the issue. I'm not sure what commit fixed it, but it no longer exists in 0.6.3.

Edit: Now that I've rebuilt 0,6,3, I can see the problem. This is odd.

Try this:

.mousepad .sourceview {padding: 10px}
.mousepad .sourceview text {background-color: rgba(255,255,255,.99)}
