Description
Please add option Preferences > Margins/Border/Edge > Padding > "Top"
- the "Left" padding is amazing addition which helped readibility 100%
- but could we also get "Top" padding option to shift the text away from the Top edge of window to nail the readability even more
Expected Behavior
- by adjusting the value of "Top" padding the first line of text is shifted further down from TOP edge of window

Research direction
Start by locating the implementation of Preferences > Margins/Border/Edge > Padding and trace how the existing Left padding setting affects rendering. Add the corresponding Top setting so changing it moves the first line down from the window's top edge, then verify the behavior in the application.
