description: "Adds padding so that the content doesn't enter [insets] space.

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

For example, if an ancestor uses [statusBarsPadding] and this modifier uses
[WindowInsets.Companion.systemBars], the portion of the system bars that the status bars uses
will not be padded again by this modifier."

```kotlin
fun Modifier.windowInsetsPadding(insets: WindowInsets): Modifier
```


Adds padding so that the content doesn't enter `insets` space.

Any insets consumed by other insets padding modifiers or `consumeWindowInsets` on a parent layout
will be excluded from `insets`. `insets` will be `consumed` for child
layouts as well.

For example, if an ancestor uses `statusBarsPadding` and this modifier uses
`WindowInsets.Companion.systemBars`, the portion of the system bars that the status bars uses
will not be padded again by this modifier.



## Code Examples
### insetsPaddingSample
```kotlin
fun insetsPaddingSample() {
    class SampleActivity : ComponentActivity() {
        override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
            WindowCompat.setDecorFitsSystemWindows(window, false)
            super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
            setContent {
                val insets = WindowInsets.systemBars.union(WindowInsets.ime)
                Box(Modifier.background(Color.White).fillMaxSize().windowInsetsPadding(insets)) {
                    // app content
                }
            }
        }
    }
}
