xubuntu 8.04
sensors version 0.10.99.4~svn-r377
xfce4-panel version 4.4.2-3ubuntu1

See attached image xfpanel sensors.png. Spacing between sensor items is quite large, it would be nice if this was adjustable without having to add multiple single-sensor plugins to the panel. Each sensors plugin added to the panel uses ~15mb RAM (resident), so the fewer the better. Adjusting text size of the sensor plugin does not reduce the space between the displayed sensors.

See image sensors multiple.png. This image shows 3 sensor plugins, seperated by color (sensors plugin 1 = green, 2 = black, 3= blue). The third sensor plugin (blue) includes two temperature sensors. This kind of setup would work; the space between items is small enough, but in this case your running multiple sensor plugins = more RAM usage.

Note the large space difference between the two images; they are both displaying 4 sensor items on the panel. Note the Orage clock plugin pushed almost completely off the panel edge in xfpanel sensors.png.

Reproducible: Always

Thanks for the suggestion, it has been implemented with a fixed spacing of two spaces. Please do not ask for several font sizes now as can be seen in your screenshot ;). Oh, and please close as resolved.
