[Solved] Fixed-width for window buttons panel plug-in???

Is it possible to set a fixed-width for the  window buttons panel plug-in? I have date, time and weather in the middle of my panel but can't get them to stay in the middle when using the window buttons plugin. Tried experimenting with expanding separators but no luck.

There doesn't seem to be a gtk hack available to force the size of the window buttons plugin (that I can see).

One option you could try is to create two panels, place them side by side with the window buttons plugin on the first panel and the clock, etc. on the second. Left align the clock and resize the panels such that the clock is in the middle. This way, the window buttons plugin will never go larger than the first panel and will never push the clock off-centre.

edit: works with 2 panels 40/60 %
