Elemental Theme Tweaking / Spacing between rows/columns

Permalink
Hi, I am building a website and thought using the Elemental them would be a perfect start point and have got stuck on spacing / margins when setting up a template page / layout. I have put 5 rows into a template then in each row 2-3 columns, and when I put content in there is a 30pix gap between each collum. I have tried going through all the css, template,theme files and cannot find out how to control the gap and assuming its hidden somewhere in bootstrap files.

Also is there a way to restrict the row heights so when I put a picture in it scales upto the height and do this all in the template file as I can sort of do both of these by setting up a container layout and resizing photos BEFORE I put them in the page but I want to restrict anybody when they edit the page from making a row taller...

here is a sample of the code i used on the template file for the main body
<div class="container">
            <div class="row">
                <div class="col-sm-4">
                    <?php
                    $a = new Area('main3 A');
                    $a->display();
                    ?>
                </div>
                <div class="col-sm-8">
                    <?php
                    $a = new Area('main3 B');
                    $a->display();
                    ?>
                </div>     
               </div>

Hi dreamstudio,
If i m not mistaken you have to edit variables.less in yourtheme/css/build/bootstrap-3.xx, look for @grid-gutter-width.

Try Info Box Grid plugin to achieve the layout you're going for.
