Legend customization/consistent multi-chart alignment
We are trying to convert a websites 11 year old controls from a different vendor to telerik.  All of the controls have been replaced except for the RadHtmlChart, which has limited customization of the legend.  Specifically we have the following issues:

1) The legend color squares are too small.  You can see the difference in the attachment "competitor" vs "telerik".  REQUEST: Set the size of the color squares.
2) The legend spacing between items is not customizable and is too compressed for our liking.  See "competitor" vs "telerik" to see the difference.  REQUEST: Allow padding or margin between legend items.
3) The legend size cannot be set to a fixed width.  For a left aligned legend, this results in multiple charts having inconsistent alignment.  Setting a different margin for each chart individually does not fix the problem.  Depending on the data fed to the charts, their position changes.  See the "multiple-charts" attachment for an example. REQUEST: Allow a fixed legend size so multiple charts can be aligned.
4) For left-aligned charts, the legend cannot be set to the top.  REQUEST: Allow TopLeft, TopRight options for legend alignment.

Thank you,
David A.

Regarding positioning the legend without affecting the appearance of the plot area you can use "custom" position and offsetX/offsetY properties. You can set these properties through the kendo widget as illustrated in the http://feedback.telerik.com/Project/108/Feedback/Details/67001 feedback item.
