How do you change the margin, padding, and border size of GUILayout buttons?

Question

I want to use more precise measurements for where things go in my menus, but I can't find out how to manually manipulate the automatic space between each button. Am I supposed to use a GUIStyle, and if so, how on Earth am I supposed to go about doing it? I looked over the documentation, but it's something of a maze when it comes to this topic...

So what I'm most interested in specifically is how to set the space after a new GUILayout.BeginHorizontal() and a new GUILayout.Button? Elaboration and a clear description with some examples would be great.

Thanks so much for your time!

First you'll need to create your own GUIStyle:

 // create a style based on the default label style
 GUIStyle myStyle = new GUIStyle (GUI.skin.label); 
 // do whatever you want with this style, e.g.:
 myStyle.margin=new RectOffset(11,22,33,44);

and then pass this to Popup() or any other method taking a GUIStyle parameter.
