Image showing padding

SUMMARY
There is little to no padding between the edge of the widget and its content (see attachment).
Comment 1 Nate Graham 2023-09-28 19:29:32 UTC
The padding here is determined by the Plasma style, and Breeze is a Plasma style that intentionally has fairly small margins.

We could add more padding in the widget code itself to supplement the built-in padding added by the style, but then there's a good chance that it will look too large in style that have a lot of padding. We would also need to make this same change in a lot of other widget code too. I don't think it's feasible.

This leaves us with the option of increasing the padding globally in Breeze. I think at the moment KDE's visual design team is satisfied the the balance of padding and density achieved with the Breeze Plasma style. But thanks for the suggestion anyway! We'll keep it in mind.
