10g - Gaps at top and side of applet. How can I remove?

Question

Hi
When running 10g webforms I have noticed that there are gaps at the top of and the side of the forms applet. This is causing our converted forms not to fit in the browser window without scrollbars (the presence of which further reduces the amount of the form visible :) )
Rather than resize all our forms I need to get rid of the gaps. Anybody know how?
thanks

I have a small image illustrating my point - anybody know how to upload images?

Vielen Dank Volker,
That sounds like a handy tip! We're getting our feet wet with 10g writing new apps, for the time being, so these conversion headaches haven't yet entered the picture, for us. We have, however, several 6i apps to migrate, so I'm trying to learn as much as possible, from others on the forum.
I would like to recommend that people take a look at JDAPI, which is the Java counterpart to the C-based Forms API. Using it, one can automate Forms manipulations that they would ordinarily carry out manually using Forms Builder. It looks quite possible to do some very neat stuff, like scaling the size of one's forms programmatically.
One thing that interests me most is that JDAPI is not a "blind" tool -- one can inspect each form's properties programmatically, and perform only those operations that appear necessary. Of course, there are no Artificial Intelligence routines provided -- Genuine Intelligence is required, and the developer must provide this!
Anyway, I just wanted to mention JDAPI, for the benefit of anyone who might not be familiar with it. I would like to add, as an intermediate Java programmer, that one need not be a Java expert to have success with JDAPI. As always, there is a learning curve, but I found it fairly straight-forward. I, and others, have posted a few simple JDAPI examples to the forum, so anyone interested can have a look at these, to get a sense of what JDAPI code looks like.
