I tried other themes, and the separator is invisible in all of them.

Did this ever work? I've only ever seen it be empty space. Are you saying you saw it be a line at some point in the past? If so, when, and with what theme?

This is the *margins* separator. Its job is to separate the bigger applets from the smaller applets (or, the applets with less margin around them and the applets with more margin). It's not meant to be visible on the panel (and it has never been).

Thanks for clarifying!
