If not specified, a scaled down [color icon](#color-icon) with rounded corners (and in some cases, opaque background) is used, which may not share the same look and feel of the host environment.

- Title: Tab margin changes-
-description: Learn how to remove margins around tabs in Microsoft Teams with UI kit. Know extra padding effect, margin size for left, right, top, and bottom.
-- Previously updated : 07/21/2022--
-# Tab margin changes
-
-This document describes how the removal of margins around all tabs in Microsoft Teams enhances your app building experience. It's an enhancement introduced in Teams in 2021.
-You can build apps that look more native to Teams by removing the margins around all tabs. Tabs with removed margins align with Microsoft Teams' [UI kit designs](~/tabs/design/tabs.md). Most apps experience enhanced look without margins.
--
-> [!NOTE]
-> This feature is not applicable to mobile clients, as the tabs viewed in the mobile clients don't have margins.
-
-## Guidelines
-
-Tab margins removal affects your Teams apps that use tabs. In such cases, you can add margins around your tab designs where it's required. App designs in production have an extra padding effect, that is, margins provided by Teams and margins provided by the tab. However, the extra padding is only temporary and goes away in a few weeks, leaving only the app's provided padding.
