systemBarsPadding

Modifier in Compose Foundation Layout

Adds padding to accommodate the [system bars][WindowInsets.Companion.systemBars] insets.

Any insets consumed by other insets padding modifiers or [consumeWindowInsets] on a parent layout will be excluded from the padding. [WindowInsets.Companion.systemBars] will be [consumed][consumeWindowInsets] for child layouts as well.

For example, if a parent layout uses [statusBarsPadding], the area that the parent layout pads for the status bars will not be padded again by this [systemBarsPadding] modifier.

When used, the [WindowInsets] will be consumed.
