[vB4] How to separate sidebar blocks with a white space/any space?

[vexxy]

I cannot understand how can I separate sidebar blocks from each other? They are all stuck together with no margin whatsoever by default. I've attached a screenie to a better understanding..so how can I separate the first online users block from the second Hot Topics? Nothing fancy..just some white space between them.

I appreciate all the advices/tips

This is from my CSS Cheatsheet.

Add this to additional.css:

/* Put spaces between blocks on forumhome page */
#sidebar_container .underblock {background: none; height: 10px;}
#sidebar_container > ul {
    -moz-border-radius:0px;
    -webkit-border-radius:: 0px;
    -moz-box-shadow: none;
    background-color:transparent;
    border:0px;
}
#sidebar_container .block {
    background-color:{vb:stylevar forum_sidebar_background.backgroundColor};
    border:{vb:stylevar forum_sidebar_border}; 
    -moz-border-radius:{vb:stylevar border_radius}; /* border_radius */
    -webkit-border-radius: {vb:stylevar border_radius}; /* border_radius */
    -moz-box-shadow:-2px 2px 2px {vb:stylevar shadow_color}; 
}

I'd need a link to the page to figure out what the CSS is that needs changing.

That comes from the 'sidebar_contentseparator_background' StyleVar which was introduced in 4.0.8.

There is also a 'sidebar_contentseparator_height' so this may negate the need for the additional.css code now - you can give that a shot...

in the stylevar, sidebar_contentseparator_background is transparent and there is no shadow...but still looks the same
