Description Antti Savolainen 2024-03-07 15:49:34 UTC

SUMMARY
I was confused where I could find a spacer for my taskbar because it didn't show up with the rest of the widgets until someone pointed out that it's part of the panel settings. In my opinion it should also be searchable along with all of the other widgets on top of existing in that easy to access place.
