How can I get Notepad to show white margins on the top and sides, like in Windows Vista/7?
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}

I recently got a Windows 10 computer that I've been customizing to visually resemble my previously-owned Windows Vista & 7 computers. I'm making great progress towards finalizing my customization, but I've hit a bit of a roadblock.
I want Notepad to show those little white margins at the top & sides of the program window, like it used to do on Windows Vista & Windows 7. See here:
No margin
With margin
The problem is, I've tried numerous searches on Google about dealing with this issue, only to hardly get any results!
Can anyone please help me out?

If you really want to customize your computer, just use open source. You can change it to change backcolor to yellow if you type banana.

@davidbaumann Yes...but do you know of any such software--or registry tweaks, or anything else--that can add those Vista-style white margins in Notepad? :-( Having no margins is driving me crazy!

On the Margins section, set your margins of the right side as well as the top as required!
