7,328 PointsPadding: Why "%"?
Hello guys! Why on the padding value we´re using % and not px? What it would be the difference? Thanks in advance!!

31,772 Pointspixel is static so that means it will be the same pixel on different devices with different screen resolutions. But percent will vary from screen resolutions so that means if you set a padding to 10 %;
It could look like 100 pixels in your screen but on mine it would only be 30 pixels and that because you have higher resolution than I have - and the other way around of course :)
I hope this helped you understand :)
