Adjusting Padding in Footer Social Links Section

Is there a way to edit the padding in the social links section of the footer? It is massive!

    On this, I've been attempting to fix my own today. I've discovered that for normal email posts I can mask it with the same colour for now. Yet with any emails that are part of an automation, the footer config options don't work at all. I tried changing colour and of the background on icons and the icon colour themselves, and nothing happens. All my emails have this ugly look below.

    πŸ”’[private user] that is footer section padding. That will remove the gap on the outside of the social section. The social section needs more controls. Ross S. I can get you my css later tonight

    Yeah but the socials section used to be about 50px high and now is ~100px high. It is the interior padding of the socials section.

    Maybe both. I was commenting about this. The padding option you showed was the easy fix. For this i had to edit the custom css block but would love controls here and even for icon sizes

    As a note, for proper control, i would make social links separate of the footer. You may want padding control of the footer that doesnt impact those social links.
