I'm looking for some way to get this (I have no idea how it's called) effect thingy.

the lines under the text is what I'm looking for.

True, I considered that, but examination of the image led me to believe there was some padding involved -- and as yet I can't figure out how to pad an underline -- any clues?

Re: text effect

I'm not sure what image you are referring to which means you have me at a disadvantage here :P

 

However, I could be technical and say text-decoration is for use as a text effect and thus padding wouldn't be part of it's intended use, but instead, padding would be applied to the container element of the text.

border-bottom is interesting because it allows you to have a different underline color from the text color, which text-decoration doesn't give you (not to mention it doesn't give you those fancy grooves either)

lol and border bottom can allow the border to extend past the text as well, which can be useful at times.
