If I remember correctly, there used to be options for margin in previous version. Padding is still available but not Margin. Also, it would be nice if we can edit the raw values of these styles similarly to how we can edit the json content of the views by holding shift and right click on the the view and copy/paste json.

Margins were causing problems with some elements in Perspective so they were removed. Official response can be found here: > [@\[Bug-16011\]8.0.8 Perspective - Margins missing in styles](http://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/8-0-8-perspective-margins-missing-in-styles/32192/2): > > You can still manually add margin as a style property, but my understanding is that the margin property caused issues in some containers which resulted in confusion. Coordinate containers for example display coordinates for a component in one location, but large margins actually render it somewhere else. We haven’t stopped supporting margins, nor have we prevented users from using margins, but due to the problems margins caused some users the decision was made to hide the option. ---

Just to be clear, the margins attributes have not been removed. They just won’t show up as an editable option in the style editor. If you need margins, you can add them in manually through the JSON editor. EDIT: Noticed that this an issue for style classes, where you wouldn’t be able to edit existing margins. ---

The issue I have right now is that the compiled css file would ignore all the margin in the style classes. I have to add margins in the theme css file manually since it would take a lot of effort to go to each component that uses style class with margin and add them in manually. E.g. here’s what the style.json file for the Card style ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/2X/b/bc7429d3a96eac874531851017d324586a29597e.png) and this is what shows up in the compiled style.css file ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/2X/8/8d49b9d9d4c3a568bb39539d1d1e8e2717dc6c33.png) ---

We found a notable bug in 8.0.8 after release. As a result, we’re in the process of building 8.0.9 installers, which contains a fix for the bug. Ignition 8.0.9 should be available later today, or soon after. The Issue 8.0.8 introduces a new style editor for Perspective. Currently, the style editor, which is also used to edit style classes, does not have options for margins. Meaning there isn’t a way to add margins to style classes, nor can you edit margin settings on them… Unfortunat… ---

Hi @nader.chinichian, Yes, it should be included for animated style classes.
