Hi, Anyone can help identify why I have these margins when running the sessions/ ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/d/0/d072d230f2b09158638739ad68a73452c25a789e.png) ---

Could you elaborate on the version you are running? How you are running your session (Browser or workstation?) ---

Please edit your question to tag it as `ignition 8.x` and `perspective`. ---

It's the same on both I added a top dock and it took away the top white margin but the left one doesn't wanna go away. And I noticed there's one in the bottom too. Does somehow Perspective forces having docks on all sides? Forgot to mention, the gateway runs on Linux. ---

You would need to look at the browser dev tools to identify what's adding the padding or margins to that container Use a similar approach as this to find the issue > [@Perspective Alarm Journal Table - Date Range picker cut off in Popup](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/perspective-alarm-journal-table-date-range-picker-cut-off-in-popup/116323/2): > > It looks like you have custom styles set on your popup, given it looks different from the defaults. I'd suggest these are the culprits here, as the default styles are fine: Simplest way to check is to look in the browser's dev tools at that popup, and see what styles are on various levels relating to it in the DOM I'd be looking to see if overflow: hidden is set on this classed DOM element: Note: the overflow for yours will not be set on the "element.style", it will be par… ---

This is running in Perspective Workstation and the white margiuns are still there. Has anybody seen this? What am I doing wrong? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/9/d/9dd1b0e3357c0647a9ff1d3d9daafca2bd579bd5.png) ---

Open your session in a browser. Use the browser dev tools. Find where the margins are defined (e.g. a style class, your custom stylesheet, a theme). Remove them. ---

so I found teh culprits in dev tools but I'm not sure where they are in Ignition. There are not properties like this on my view or root. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/1/7/17fb748934affb1f24097e18761004c2278cc7ba.jpeg) ---

found it...much appreciated the help but it makes me wonder how that style got there. I didn't add it. Is it a default style? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/4/3/434302d88df1160c6cda75e78ae775e4c939dfd8.jpeg) ---

The entire `stylesheet.css` resource is controlled by you. There's no 'default' styles. Someone added it manually.
