Hi,

is there any option in a column container to have a few pixels space between the screen edge and the first element? For example to start with a gutter?

Thanks!

Create a Perspective style. Call it 'paddingL'.  
In the margins and styles tab set the padding-left to something like 5 or 8 pixels.  
Apply that style to each label in your view using the Classes component property.

Now you can modify everything in your application that uses that style with just one style adjustment.
