How can I add padding between two image banners?

Topic summary

Goal: Add space between two images in a Shopify image banner without affecting the right edge and without showing a grey background.

What was tried:

  • CSS added in base.css: img.banner__media-image-half { padding-right: 10–15px; } This created a gap but also added space on the right side and revealed a grey container background.
  • Another CSS tweak: img.banner__media-image-half { background: white; } This did not fix the grey container and affected the corner of the second image.
  • A suggestion to paste code in theme.liquid before was given, but no concrete code snippet was provided.

Current issues:

  • Need spacing only between the two images (center gap), not on the outer right side.
  • Grey container background appears behind the banner; user wants it transparent or matching the page’s white background.

Status:

  • No working final solution posted yet. Likely requires targeting only the inner edge (e.g., margin on the left image or using a gap between columns) and adjusting the banner/container background color.

Notes:

  • Screenshots are important to visualize the grey background and spacing effect.

Hi @Moeed

It works but it leaves a grey container background instead of white background and the right side of the image has padding as well. Is it possible to put the padding only in the middle and doesn’t affect the right side?

Thanks for the help!

img.banner__media-image-half {
background: white;
}
