Nope. If you want to do it just with CSS changes, without touching the markup, you need the big padding to shunt the first category down the page. Otherwise the absolute positioning on the recent posts block means it will just sit on top of the first category and hide several boards.
There are bigger paddings or margins in some areas of Elk's code already (like menu positioning with javascript disabled). It's just a padding. Don't worry about it.

But wouldn't it alter if you change resolution? After all, height changes as well, resolution-wise.

Well sure, if you go to a very narrow width, but you could deal with that by adding stuff to media queries. Same way you always do responsive. I just did this for my monitor so didn't worry about extra stuff.

Come to think of it, if doing this as part of a theme variant you could use media queries, but if doing this as an in-browser override for an existing site it doesn't matter, because the userContent.css file is device-specific (or browser-installation specific if you want to call it that) anyway. So res should be constant, unless you happen to be switching from landscape to portrait all the time.

Yeah just use a different ID. Shouldn't matter what you call it.
Does Elk have a recent topics function at all? I haven't been keeping up with everything.

Can't find any add-on on that link.
