I had the same problem  but i could not use the background option  and didn t want to use multiple backgrounds  so i thought of another solution  this is an example for a menu that has a square like indicator for the active current menu item  the default list style is set to none in another rule   nav ul li active gt a before      content            position  absolute      top  -22px      left  55px      font-size  33px       it creates a square by using a square character with the   before  pseudo class and it is freely positionable by using absolute positioning

I think what you really want to do is add the padding  you are currently adding to the  lt li gt   to the  lt ul gt  tag and then the bullet points will move with the text of the  lt li gt    There is also the list-style-position you could look into   It affects how the lines wrap around the bullet images

Another option you can do  is the following   li before      content         padding  0 0 0 25px      background url    includes images layouts featured-list-arrow png  no-repeat 0 3px      Use  0 3px  to position the list image    Works in IE8   Chrome  Firefox  and Opera    I use this option because you can swap out list-style easily and a good chance you may not even have to use an image at all   fiddle below    http   jsfiddle net flashminddesign cYAzV 1   UPDATE    This will account for text   content going into the second line    ul       list-style-type none     li      position relative     ul li before      content   gt        padding 0 10px 0 0      position absolute      top 0  left -10px      Add padding-left  to the li if you want more space between the bullet and content    http   jsfiddle net McLeodWebDev wfzwm0zy

A possible solution to this question that wasn t mentioned yet is the following       li           position  relative          list-style-type  none             li before           content              position  absolute          top  8px          left  -16px          width  8px          height  8px          background-image  url  your-bullet png            You can now use the top left of the li before to position the new bullet  Note that the width and height of the li before need to be the same dimensions as the background image you choose  This works in Internet Explorer 8 and up

I find the accepted answer a bit of a fudge  far too must jostling with extra padding and css commands     I never add padding to list items personally  normally controlling their line height and the occasional margin is enough       When I have an alignment issue with custom list style images I just add a pixel or two of extra space around whatever side is required to adjust its position relative to each list line

Another workaround is just to set the li item to flex or inline-flex  Depending on the circumstances that may suit you better  In case you have a real icon   image placed in the HTML the default flex position is on the central horizontal line

I m using something like this  seems pretty clean  amp  simple for me  ul         list-style   none          remove left padding  it s usually unwanted          padding   0     li before        content   url icon png        display   inline-block       vertical-align   middle           If you want some space between icon and text          margin-right    1em     The above code works as is in most of my cases  For exact adjustment you can modify vertical-align  e g   vertical-align   top      or    vertical-align   -10px      or whatever you need instead of  quot middle quot      You may set list-style  none on li instead of ul if you prefer

Not really  Your padding is  probably  being applied to the list item  so will only affect the actual content within the list item   Using a combination of background and padding styles can create something that looks similar e g   li     background  url images bullet gif  no-repeat left top      lt -- change  left   amp   top  too for extra control      padding  3px 0px 3px 10px       reset styles  optional        list-style  none    margin  0      You might be looking to add styling to the parent list container  ul  to position your bulleted list items  this A List Apart article has a good starting reference

The solution I settled for in the end was to modify the image itself to add some spacing   Using a background image on the li as some suggest works in a lot of cases but fails when the list is used alongside a floated image  for example to get the text to wrap around the image    Hope this helps

I normally hide the list-style-type and use a background image  which is moveable  li        background  url  Images arrow icon gif  no-repeat 7px 7px transparent      list-style-type  none      margin  0      padding  0px 0px 1px 24px      vertical-align  middle      The  7px 7px  is what aligns the background image inside the element and is also relative to the padding

Hide the default bullet image and use background-image as you have much more control like    x000D   x000D  li   x000D      background-image  url https   material io tools icons static icons baseline-add-24px svg   x000D      background-repeat  no-repeat  x000D      background-position  left 50   x000D      padding-left  2em  x000D    x000D   x000D  ul   x000D      list-style  none  x000D    x000D   lt ul gt  x000D   lt li gt foo lt  li gt  x000D   lt li gt bar lt  li gt  x000D   lt  ul gt  x000D   x000D   x000D
