thanks for the reply but I am not sure if I understood it. I am using the following css code and want to add more space as marked by the arrow in snapshot:
/* Sidebar */
.skin-blue .main-sidebar {
background-color: #d3bf96;
font-size: 15px;
}
/* Sidebar other items */
.skin-blue .main-sidebar .sidebar a{
color: #000000;
}
/* Sidebar when active/hover */
.skin-blue .main-sidebar .sidebar .sidebar-menu a:hover ,
.skin-blue .main-sidebar .sidebar .sidebar-menu .active a{
background-color: #000000;
color: #ffffff;
padding-top: 10px;
padding-left: 20px;
padding-bottom: 10px;
display: block;
border-color: transparent;
}
