How to change the distance between gui elements. I want to shorten the distance to 0.

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.

We have fixed it for 0.17

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

I have no idea where it was documented, but all this stuff you can find with viewtopic.php?f=135&t=45107
