<rich:spacer> is a simple layout component which represents a transparent spacer. Thus, the main attributes that define its style are "style" and "styleClass".

In addition, the attributes are responsible for the component size: "width" and "height".

Moreover, to add e.g. some JavaScript effects, events defined on it are used.

On the component generation, the framework presents a default rich-spacer class in "styleClass" of a generated component, i.e. in order to redefine appearance of all spacers at once, it's necessary to redefine this class in your own CSS (replacing in the result properties defined in a skin with your own).

To define appearance of the particular spacer, it's possible to write your own CSS classes and properties in the component style attributes ( "style", "styleClass" ) modifying component property.

Here you can see the example of <rich:spacer> usage and sources for the given example.
