Offset around a tray in EP5.0. The tray offset was only delivered by the grid layout control and thus is only 5 pixels and not 10 as assumed.

This part of the HTMLB guidelines has been updated. The former specifications for the tray offset are not valid any longer. The old specifications are now canceled and replaced by new ones.

The reason for this is that due to technical reasons in EP5.0 the tray did not deliver the 5 pixel offset it was supposed to, though the grid layout control did so. Thus an offset of only five pixels was possible.
With EP6.0 the offset for the tray content will be delivered by the tray itself. See the further specifications.

Offset around a tray in EP60

By EP6.0 the whole content offset of a tray will be delivered by the tray itself. With the new design for EP6.0 new design specifications have been made. The new tray offset is specified in the picture on the left.

Example of an offset around a tray

Although you do not always need an offset on the right side, you must always give one to the tray. Whether the offset is needed, depends to the tray's current size which is dependent to the current layout of the portal.

Example of a wrong offset around a tray

Avoid this. No offset at all gives the impression of elements falling out of the tray.
