Colour picker sreenshot showing insufficient spacing and alignment

The colour picker used for "Font Colour", "Highlighting" and "Background Colour" has insufficient spacing between certain elements resulting in an unpolished UI.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open Libreoffice Writer.
2. Click on "Font Colour", "Highlighting" or "Background Colour" buttons.

Current Behaviour:

The colour picker opens but:

1. The palette dropdown is too close to the colour selection/grid.
2. There is insufficient spacing on the right margin resulting in an uneven appearance.

Expected Behaviour/suggested design:

1. Move the palette dropdown up slightly to provide more space between it and the colours grid.
2. Increase the margin on the right side of the colour picker by a few pixels to match the left side margin.

I have attached a screenshot showing the colour picker where the inconsistent spacing is visible. I believe with these minor changes the colour picker would have a more polished look.

Tested on Ubuntu 14.04.1 wth Libreoffice:

Version: 4.4.0.0.alpha2+

My bug was put as a duplicate of this one, but in it i've stated that this issue effects not only the color picker, but also the redo and undo drop downs.
