[Solved] Please help: system tray - increase tray icon spacing / padding???

Hello everyone :)

I need your help. I've already searched the web but found nothing on this topic:

How to increase the spacing/padding of the tray icons in the system tray area of the xfce panel?

As a previous gnome 3 user I think the system tray icons are too condensed - I would prefer more free space between the individual tray icons. If you compare the system tray of gnome 3 and xfce you will see the difference. I know there are seperators which can be used as spacers for the panel itself but not within the system tray.

Can anyone help? I will probably have to look in the source code and compile xfce by hand :( Hope someone has some good hints! Thx

Maybe you can just build Xfce-panel.
I see that http://git.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-panel/tr … tray-box.c has
#define SPACING    (2)
Maybe that's what you're looking for.

Thanks that helped smile I defined a new variable for horizontal spacing - the systray looks much better now!

That's in the source code.
You would need to download the source, edit it and then build and install it.

I'm not sure if it would work with the sources from your distribution's repository (which would be preferable as then you could rebuild them as a package).
