We should probably just automatically scale the arrow too.

[applets/systemtray] Scale expander arrow with "scale with panel" setting This makes the expander arrow match the scale of all the other icons when using the "Scale with panel width" setting. Otherwise it looks too small and is hard to use in tablet mode, if you're using that setting for increased touch-friendliness.

[applets/systemtray] Use "scale with panel" setting when in tablet mode This setting is more appropriate when in tablet mode, as it makes the System Tray icons scale up to fill the panel's height/width. When tablet mode exits, it returns to the default icon size setting (unless the user already set to always be in "scale with panel" mode.

In the tray, the arrow that opens up the Status and Notifications area containing hidden tray icons is really tiny, even when tray icons are scaled to a panel 70px tall. It's rather annoying to open considering that at such a panel size (and additionally a scale of 125% which I use) the other icons are really easy to touch accurately. It would be nice if said arrow would have the same width as the other visible tray icons that belong to the tray (the ones usually to its left). In order not to sacrifice space/compactness for general desktop users, perhaps just having the option to set a wider icon (or make it scale together with the other icons) would be ideal for touchscreens IMO. Something like: Panel icon: [ ] Small [X] Scale with Panel height [X] Including hidden icons arrow
