Hello Johnyblaze,

Welcome to TinyPortal.

The amount of spacing between blocks could probably be adjusted a little bit in the theme by adding some margin between the blocks in the css file, and there may even be something that could be done in the code but it's pretty much hard coded.  http://www.dzinerstudio.com/index.php could probably help you with that since it is their theme.

However, possibly an easier way to do it would be to just add a blank block between blocks.  For instance, you could setup a blank php block under each block (or between your other blocks) that has no content and is set to "use frame, but not title".  To see what this would look like take a look at my test site using the Overviewlight theme here ...

If you look below the user block on the left, below the skinz block on the right, and below the search block, also on the right, you'll see what looks like a light gray line and some white space below it.  That is just a blank php block in each instance.

It might be easier to see this in another theme.  Try this link for a better view ...

In this theme, the blank block is simply shown as a light blue spacer between blocks.

will this give you the effect you are looking for?

I done a few test on our tp test site for the same thing that ZP suggested.yes you could really use any type block to do the same thing

In the next beta you will be able change the distance there, this is something which have been neglected before.

Though empty blocks also look kind of cool.

ZarPrime's empty block idea is indeed very cool! :up:
It's an easy fix that looks great.
