Description Antti Savolainen 2022-03-05 15:41:28 UTC

SUMMARY
For my eye, the Margins Separator widget wastes way too much space. There used to be a Plasma 4 extention named QuickLauncher which created an area of quicklaunch icons. This functionality can we be emulated with Margins Separators but it creates unnecessary spacing. I would like to be able to adjust that.

applets/margins-separator: make smaller normally, and more visible in Edit mode

Margin separator by default has a large width which may not be desirable always
and it is also not directly related to its core functionality. Now it takes up
only 1px of space (the minimum amount) outside of Edit Mode, but expands and
becomes more visually obvious in Edit Mode.
