    So what do you guys recommend me to do? i don’t really understand sorry.

    I wrote a Twitter Widget, that might be instructive. Have a look at the code, and see if it helps. It is written using the Widgets API, which is the proper framework to use when developing custom Widgets.

    I checked in functions.php in the themes folder and i didn’t really find anything usefulL.
    i forgot to precise that before getting this problem i changed the themes size.
    i added size to the left area ( content ) and removed some from the sidebar to make it smaller.
    Maybe i should of have changed something while doing this?

    Nevermind thanks, luckily i could change the padding of the general widgets style under style.css and it doesn’t look so bad.
    although i would like to ask a question, how can i apply a independent style to a specific widget.

    That’s actually why I directed you toward my Plugin. 🙂

    If you look at this bit:

    function widget_cbnet_twitter_widget() {
        $widget_ops = array('classname' => 'widget-cbnet-twitter-widget', 'description' => 'Widget to display Twitter widgets' );
        $this->WP_Widget('plugin_cbnet_twitter_widget', 'cbnet Twitter Widget', $widget_ops);
    }

    You can see that WordPress will output a .widget-cbnet-twitter-widget class that you can target for CSS styles specific to this Widget.
