You have to change the padding via directly editing the style at runtime (
https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/LuaStyle.html) or defining a custom style in data stage.

Tried to set guielement.style.xxx_padding = 0 but didn't help, I'm still having distance between elements:

But earlier the same code worked just fine:

EDIT: I add buttons to a flow. Tried to set paddings of both a flow and buttons, but it didn't work.
EDIT: Where can I find ALL properties for EVERY SINGLE style? Looks like I miss some... Didn't find on Wiki and in APIdocs.

I solved the problem by adding buttons to the table. And changing the vertical_spacing and horizontal_spacing to 0

But I still hope that in 0.17 it can be made easier.

Yep, I wanted to do the same, but right now found another solution making me able to use flows and frames instead of tables:
styles.lua:
Code: Select all
data.raw["gui-style"].default["teleportation_thin_flow_hor"] = {
type = "horizontal_flow_style",
horizontal_spacing = 0,
resize_row_to_width = true
}
data.raw["gui-style"].default["teleportation_thin_flow_ver"] = {
type = "vertical_flow_style",
vertical_spacing = 0,
resize_row_to_height = true
}
It makes flows remove any gap in a row/column. It's strange I can't use the same in runtime:
Code: Select all
flowElement.style.horizontal_spacing = 0
...this code leads to a crash because the game lets use horizontal_spacing in runtime only for a table, not for a flow. I'm sure it's a dev's mistake, but it is and I have to work with it.

Klonan, hello! Where can I find ALL properties for EVERY SINGLE style? Didn't find on Wiki and in APIdocs.
