"Margin" has no effect, at all. I even commented it out just to see if it made a difference... none.

What I ended up doing was using padding to get it to where I wanted it, then created a custom background image using transparency for all the space I didn't use.

It worked, but even though you can't see it, I still think its "messy" and will bug me for a long time, but meh.

Heres what I did:
