A `HorizontalBox` is a [HorizontalLayout](/master/docs/slint/reference/layouts/horizontallayout.md) with default `padding` and `spacing` from [StyleMetrics](/master/docs/slint/reference/std-widgets/globals/stylemetrics.md),
providing theme-appropriate values. Use `HorizontalLayout` directly when you need full control over spacing and padding.
