# Decrease Footer Padding/Height

 * The space between the widgets and footer is pretty excessive. I set all the padding
   to 0px, but the blank space is still there. Can anyone suggest what I should 
   do? Thank you!

 * use FireBug to check that.

 * I’m using the F12 developer tools in IE. All the padding and margins are set 
   to zero, and I can’t make any number negative. Any other suggestions? This is
   making me crazy!

 * > All the padding and margins are set to zero
 * no
 * for instance:
    `.widget-wrapper` has a bottom margin of `20px;` and `.grid` has
   a bottom margin of `2.083%;`
 * possibly the [Firefox web developer add-on](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/web-developer/)(
   similar to Firebug) is more accurate in showing these styles than the ‘F12 developer
   tools in IE’ 😉

 * Sure you can:
 *     ```
       #footer {
           margin-top:-10px;
       }
       ```
   
 * Also can we please decide where the support will be here or at [http://themeid.com/forum/search/topics/user/917/](http://themeid.com/forum/search/topics/user/917/)
   I don’t mind but having posts on both sites is pretty big job for me and I hope
   that you will understand. You already started and have 10 topics on ThemeID 🙂
 * Posting here will come to me anyways.
 * Thanks,
    Emil

 * Hi,
 * Interspace on homepage and other pages is different from each other: homepage
   has widgets on bottom, other pages don’t > css is a little bit different. So 
   I added some extra lines in file style.css to reduce space of social icons on
   both homepage and other pages equally.
 * I added this code underneath /* =Social Icons to reduce the space on homepage:
 * ———————————–
    .home #footer .social-icons { list-style:none; line-height:normal;
   margin:-30px 0 0 0; text-align:right; } ———————————–
