When you have more than one expanding separators (like I have) and you use a plugin that changes horizontal size often (in my case, a genmon script for my music) All the expanding separators change size moving stuff left and right all over the panel. It would be nice if you can have a separator in "fixed size" mode and can set its size in its preferences. That way you have only one expanding separator to fill up your panel and the rest of the panel items you want separated are kept at a steady distance at all times.
Created attachment 9316 Patch for adding custom size option Hi everyone, I thought I'd take a shot at this feature request. I'm new to Xfce development so hopefully I did everything right. In the separator preferences dialog, I replaced the "Expand" checkbox with a "Size" combo box that has 3 options, "Default", "Expand", and "Custom". Selecting "Custom" enables the user to enter a custom size in the spinner that pops up. Screenshots: https://i.imgur.com/h20IbZa.png https://i.imgur.com/EGqnXnC.png I kept the "expand" boolean prop in the separator code to avoid messing up people's panels, but it can no longer be modified in the preferences dialog. Separators with the "expand" prop set to true will have their "size-type" set to expand on initialisation. Cheers.
