Hi all,
I have some problems with lxpanel. I want to allign the icons of some lxpannel plugins somehow. The icons appear on some plugins are left aligned on other center aligned, and the same with margin. some plugins have margin, and other don't.

How can I get them alligned differently. In my case , I would like to do one of the following:
  • Align center "System Tray", and "Application lauch Bar" icons
  • Align left "Taskbar (Windows list)" , "Digital Clock", "Workspace switcher" icons
  • Remove the margin of the "Taskbar (Windows list)" icons, "Digital Clock", "Workspace switcher" plugins
I have recorded a video http://youtu.be/39dQ8I7cCAQ of where my panel is located on my desktop, and how it behaves when i change settings.

Thanks!

Thanks for reply,

I am trying to align the icons on same line, on the lxpanel. As you can see on the screenshot I have surrounded regions and the margins. Some have no left margin, some plugins have >0px margin. I was wondering if there is a solution to set the icons margin same for all.

It seems the problem solved by itself ;)

I have upgraded to latest version of lubuntu 12.04, and the icons in taskbar are smaller and aligned. Also I was able to change the font size of the lxpanel, thus clock font size was changed, I changed it to smaller font so the hour fits on lxpanel.
