Instead create a new theme that is a sub theme of the theme you
are using and create a new CSS file in there, with the new rules
you need. <br>

<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.drupal.org/node/225125">https://www.drupal.org/node/225125</a><br>
<br>
The other option is a custom module adding the new CSS file on
hook_init, but going the subtheme is generally the best route.<br>
<br>
From your home page, right click on the panel that is spaced wrong
and select "inspect element" (Chrome and Firefox). That will show
you the DOM tree and the style rules applied to it. You may have
to work up the tree, but find the one giving the padding and/or
margins that is causing the problem. Copy that style rule to your
new CSS sheet and adjust the padding and/or margin to what you
want. <br>
<br>
This is a pure CSS fix that is one of the basic fundamentals of
building any site (Drupal or not). It won't affect the staff's
ability to create announcements, as the fixes would be universal
throughout the site. <br>

Not sure ... we've pretty much used themes and modules "out of
the box" in creating the D6 site and they've worked remarkably
well. Our staff is trained to use the Panels UI and creates
announcement 'snippets' on a regular basis to update the main
page. If I could keep this functionality that would be fine --
what kind of css modification were you thinking of, and to what
files?<br>

We just upgraded a copy of our Drupal 6 site using the Zen /
CTI-Flex<br>
theme to Drupal 7 using an AtaptiveTheme base with the Mix
and Match<br>
theme. Everything went smoothly, except for how Panels
behaves in the<br>
new D7 theme. We have a simple two-column center panel
between two side<br>
columns (see <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.hampton.lib.nh.us" target="_blank">http://www.hampton.lib.nh.us</a>
for the current D6 production<br>
site), and the D7 version of Panels creates an unacceptably
huge amount<br>
of vertical white space between the panels. If I change
each individual<br>
panel to "no markup", the vertical panel space shrinks, but
I also lose<br>
the side and center margins of the two columns, which I
would like to keep.<br>
<br>
Before I start trying to change the Panels module code, does
anyone have<br>
a simple suggesting for reducing the vertical space between
panels in a<br>
column?<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance ...<br>
