Git commit a2ade0610dacfcdd897bd004eef0cdc9a926c8fb by Niccolò Venerandi. Committed on 24/09/2025 at 12:06. Pushed by niccolove into branch 'master'. Fix position and size of activity widget on large panels Previously the widget icon would always left-align, even on large vertical panels, resulting in being off-center. It would also ask for infinite maximum height but no preferred height, which would make it taller than necessary on large panels.
