How to set a text padding in a TextField?

Question

I need to set a left-padding of the text inside a TextField. There is a method setAlign(Align.TOP | BOTTOM | CENTER) but I need to hardcode a value so it looks nice.

Here's my current code:

  TextField loginField = new TextField("", skin);
  TextField passwordField = new TextField("", skin);

  loginField.setMessageText("LOGIN");
  passwordField.setMessageText("PASSWORD");

I've tried editing the TextFieldStyle, but still with no success. Thanks for any ideas!

You can use passwordField.getStyle().background.setLeftWidth method to add left padding.
