How can I add padding between the right side of the fringe and the left side of my code?

I have tried using (set-window-margins nil 1) but the margin is on the left side of the fringe. I'd like to have it on the right side, for more reading clarity (see capture below)

EDIT : I forgot to mention that I'm using Emacs in GUI mode on Windows

    How about setting the following buffer-local variables with a default of your liking: `(setq-default left-fringe-width 30) (setq-default right-fringe-width 0)` To change the color of the fringe, use something like: `(set-face-attribute 'fringe nil :background "black")` To make the fringe invisible, match the color of the fringe to the `default` background face. – lawlist Dec 14 '18 at 16:24
  • @lawlist I actually use the fringe for some bitmaps such as hideshow symbols or git stuff... But you're right, I could make make the fringe "invisible" and still have the symbols in there. That will be my solution if the padding thing isn't possible. – Florent Dec 14 '18 at 17:41

    I have not seen any adjustment for padding using the built-in native line numbers, however, the old-style Lisp line numbering is easy to add padding and there are several old threads on stackoverflow (perhaps here too) describing how to do that. – lawlist Dec 14 '18 at 22:28
