Do I need to specify a width and height for the block, or just padding?

Question

css

In the picture screenshot.ru/5cc7044b3f9feb4f2c3954ef0ed28827 there are elements where you can explicitly specify the width and height or just give padding to the inner element and thereby visually form the width and height. When should this be done and when should it not?

Answer 1

Use padding on the outer element.

Answer 2

Imagine if you wanted to increase the font size in one of these blocks. Or the icons on the left will become larger (or smaller). With a fixed size, you will have to set it again with each change.

Answer 3

In these cases it is better to use paddings, as the contents of the Block can change and in the case of paddings, the styles do not have to be edited.

the rest is fixed width, and in some cases height.
