I am using T3V3 straight out of the box in Joomla 3.1 – I have added a page background to the body element, and I want to make the content area white. So I have added a white background color to the container class in my custom css, BUT the page content is tight up against the edge of the container. My question is, either how can I add padding to the page content, or how can I make the container a little wider than the content? Oh and the page needs to be responsive too….

A little Firebug will show you the answer. It’s different for each “element”. If you have a module vs the featured-items on the home page, vs some component, each will be different.

For the site I’m working on right now, I use added padding-left:15px to the section.article-intro selector to get some space to the left of the text within the first article on my home page.

In some cases, you should look for module-inner as the div class – such as for module positions.

If you try to add to the section itself or to the row, you will find that things don’t really work like you want them to – you have to look to containers inside the main ones to get to the inner parts.

Thanks for your help, in fact I have been using Firebug over the last few days and have managed to work out what is needed in this instance.
