Hello everyone, is there a way to set a height or padding to take up a size, unless there's not enough space? Like be `40.dp` high, unless that would cut off something underneath it, then take less

It depends what you are trying to achieve. `Modifier.size()` sort of does it by default - ive noticed that it squeezes the component if there is not enough space. `Modifier.requireSize()` is the one that is strict about the sizing, so it might be enough setting it to the more important component.

Otherwise you could use `weight()` inside a col/row

is there a way to tell compose to scale one composable over another? Like if a spacer above a button has a size and the button has a size too, can you tell compose to scale the spacer first? I guess that's where `requireSize` comes in

not that i am aware of.

tbh it would be simpler to help you achieve what you want if you explained the layout you are trying to build. i dont understand what scaling a spacer does or why you would need that
