Right align items

All:
I have installed a new panel, and added items to it.
Q:
Is there a way to right align and item?

I have looked on the web and other than adding separators, which makes the panel look ugly, I have not found anything else.

Thanks for any pointers.

Re: Right align items

When you say "right-align". are you talking about moving some items to the right of the panel, or are you talking about right-aligning the content of the item in its container?

To right-align items on the panel, you would use a separator with its "expand" property set.

which makes the panel look ugly

You'll need to explain this more. Maybe a screenshot?

I think, even with my vagueness, you have answered my question.

Thank you very much.

Re: Right align items

If you look here: https://docs.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-panel/separator there's a way to make the separator be transparent instead of having a line in the middle.  Makes it a bit less ugly to me.
