Store/shop - product page layout has padding that makes a real mess of alignment, can it be corrected with CSS?

Hello. I'm not sure how others find the 20 pixel padding on the store page acceptable, why it's not adjustable I have no idea!

The copy that appears to the left or right of the main slideshow/image galley has a 20 pixel value. It should only be 6 pixels to align it with the top of the graphics. My site is not live yet, but any store page will have this problem. I've put screen grabs below.

Also, there is a secondary problem in that the entire store (product page) is padded 6 pixels down from the top. I would love to correct this too.... meaning the text body would not need to be set to a padding of 6 pixels, but could be just 0, if the padding for the galley section was also zero. You can see the gap above the slideshow.

Is there a way with custom CSS to fix both of these issues or at a minimum, align the text copy with the top of the graphics as a compromise? I would be so grateful for any help. SS support has not been helpful in this matter.

Thank you!

You can adjust the spacing by adding some CSS to Design > Custom CSS

The area on your screenshot labelled 6px is the padding below the Product Item Nav area, and can be adjusted with this:

@media screen and (min-width: 768px) {
  .ProductItem-nav {
    padding-bottom: 6px;
  }
}

The area you labelled 14 pixels is the padding above the Product Item Details area, and can be adjusted with this:

@media screen and (min-width: 768px) {
  .tweak-product-basic-item-content-alignment-top .ProductItem-details {
    padding-top: 6px;
  }
}

Hi! I'm also having a lot of trouble with my product page alignments. It seems to me that something might be off in the text & image padding. Whichever product design view option I select, the text either appears only in a skinny strip with a tiny image, or like this half page image (it's huge!) and half page text. How can I adjust the css text & image padding to be legible? Thank you!!image.thumb.png.7f29272c79595f8414dbf1dd8fc8d426.pngimage.thumb.png.65ef73885ccca85c14b7569efa0eb84e.png
