Answer 1

I found the solution. But I had to change source code. I added new option "padding" into $.fn.owlCarousel.options{}. Then I changed formula in calculateWidth : function () {}

calculateWidth : function () {
    var base = this;
    base.itemWidth = Math.round( (base.$elem.width() + base.options.padding) / base.options.items);
    console.log(base.$owlItems.width());
},

And last thing, I added this padding (padding-right) for items:

appendItemsSizes : function () {
        var base = this,
            roundPages = 0,
            lastItem = base.itemsAmount - base.options.items;

        base.$owlItems.each(function (index) {
            var $this = $(this);
            $this
                .css({
                    "width": base.itemWidth,
                    "padding-right": base.options.padding
                })
                .data("owl-item", Number(index));

            if (index % base.options.items === 0 || index === lastItem) {
                if (!(index > lastItem)) {
                    roundPages += 1;
                }
            }
            $this.data("owl-roundPages", roundPages);
        });
    },

So now I can just initialize carousel with option "padding" like this:

$(".carousel").owlCarousel({
    items : 3,
    padding : 23
});

And get this result:

You can use pure CSS using box-shadow as follow:

.item::after{
  content: '';
  position: absolute;
  top: 0;
  right: 0;
  height: 100%;
  width: 100%;
  -webkit-box-shadow: inset -5px 0px 0px 0px rgba(255,255,255,1);
  -moz-box-shadow: inset -5px 0px 0px 0px rgba(255,255,255,1);
  box-shadow: inset -5px 0px 0px 0px rgba(255,255,255,1);
}

You must know that at this time there isn't any way to add a margin directly in the owl carousel may they can make an apdate in the future, so the solution is to make the spaces with Css properties

you can add the padding in css and also the margin and the best way to get the specific space you can use the mathematic to calcul the space that you need and applied it to the padding and the margin

I hope that this will help you to find the solution of your problem

you can follow this steps in this Tuto published by the official site of owl carousel plugin : http://www.istedod.uz/lib/owl-carousel/demos/custom.html

Maybe you are using OWL Carousel version 1, I suggest you use version 2.

You will get it here.

Go to Docs menu you will find everything.

$('.owl-carousel').owlCarousel({
    loop:true,
    margin:10,
    nav:true,
})

Answer 5

Based on this demo I would say, just increase the margin in the .item class in custom.css.

#owl-example .item{
    ...
    margin-left: 20px;
    margin-right: 20px;
}

Be careful with modifying CSS for responsive sites and plugins. If this needed to be adjusted for different resolutions, you could add to your custom.css some media queries and extend the styles accordingly

Answer 6

.item{
    margin: 5px;
} 
.owl-item:nth-child(3n+1) > .item {
    margin-left: 0;
}
.owl-item:nth-child(3n+3) > .item {
    margin-right: 0;
}

Config OwlCarousel:

$("#owl-highlight").owlCarousel({
            autoPlay: 3000,
            items : 3,
            scrollPerPage: true,
            itemsDesktop : [1199,3],
            itemsDesktopSmall : [979,3]
        });
