Recently we had a requirement in which our client wanted us to remove the standard padding across the visualforce page. The visualforce page has an inbuilt CSS that applies padding of about 10px across the page.

A visualforce page with the default padding is as shown below:

As you can see in above screenshot, the page has white-space around the text “Congratulations This is your new page Test”.

In order to remove these white padding spaces, we have overridden the inbuilt CSS provided by Salesforce using the following code:

—————————————————–<snip>—————————————————–
<style>
.noSidebarCell,.outerNoSidebar
{
padding-top: 0px !important;
padding-right: 0px !important;
padding-bottom: 0px !important;
padding-left: 0px !important;
}
</style>
—————————————————–</snip>—————————————————–

After using the above code, the page will now appear as shown below:
You can see the difference in the Message “Congratulations This is your new page Test”. Now you don’t have white space of 10 pixels before text as we have in Fig1.

In similar way, Salesforce provides rich feature of customizations.  If we have some knowledge of CSS then we can override the inbuilt CSS of visualforce pages and further enhance the UI.
