The spacing is way too wide, especially on small screens. I have to fret with 800x600 because there are no drivers for Intel GMA 3600 yet. And even when there is, I'll be constrained to 1024 px.

Thanks m0sia! There is indeed still a fair bit of wasted space around each icon, but it's much better than before. (I'm using the Ambiance theme with Human controls and Humanity icons.) I suppose that's the best that can be done with a menu widget in gtk. Perhaps a custom widget really should be written up for this kind of a use case.

@cablop, yes, it looks like m0sia only has the patched indicator-applet compiled for lucid, but not maverick, which I'd love to see. By the way, even as more stuff seems to be migrating to indicator- applet, both this spacing bug and the inability to customize its contents is, and always has been, enough to make me give it the axe. I have no need for the volume icon. I only lament that now libnotify- mozilla won't leave a visible indicator in the system tray when I have new mail in Thunderbird.

[Bug 527267] Re: Application Indicators too wide
As a workaround you can remove this applet indicator and almost all icons from it are able to stand up by themselves in the old tray, except for the envelope one and the volume indicator. But you can grab the pulseaudio-mixer-applet to replace the volume icon. http://www.webupd8.org/2010/04/pulseaudio-mixer-applet-lets-you-change.html So you can get all your space back and still see batery, network, and so on... It is ironic that they stated the new design is to save more space, but once removed and went back to the old behavior i have MORE space than with the new applet... meaning the purpose failed to be accomplished at least for some users like me, using Ubuntu on a netbook. -- Application Indicators too wide https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/527267 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

It is not a Theme Issue, for the sake of heaven! Themes had it's own standards BEFORE you started to use this applet, now you are telling they that they have to rewrite the whole themes with all the side effects of that, that is spacing between menus and other theme sections, just cause you are to lazy to fix your own code and adapt to an ALREADY EXISTING design pattern? At least give us a place to select by ourselves how to space those things, people, we users of netbooks can't just survive seeing how when you add icons your menus or clock or other elements dissapear just cause one applet is to wide... you can't also expect for us to tweak the whole interface with too many effects aside, like misplacing menu entries and other items just to fix an issue in one AND JUST ONE item in our screens... sorry for being mad, but i think if you do something new you will be mature enough to accept the responsibility of doing things well for everyone... and this is not mac... so i think it is not a high priority to look like mac if the community users are not pleasan with it also it is a usability issue... i can't access the help icon or the clock due to this error, so priority is higher than low... -- Application Indicators too wide https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/527267 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I highly recommend the patch in #30 and it's PPA #48! While spacing is not 100% the same as in the Notification Area, the difference between the two is MUCH less noticable. Very well done! I do not understand how anyone can say this is a theme issue. Could that be explained a little more clearly please? Icon spacing is not a problem anywhere else but in the Indicator-Applet. There is a patch that improves the spacing. It seems obvious that it would be a problem with Indicator-Applet. Why not just accept the patch, maybe improve on it by allowing user- defined icon spacing, and move on? It would be easier for everyone involved to distribute one patched version than to try to get multiple themes by multiple designers patched (and likely to produce other bad visual side effects) and distributed. -- Application Indicators too wide https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/527267 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 527267] Re: Application Indicators too wide
It would seem that the only way to solve this issue is to basically write a completely new widget for the indicator applet instead of re- using the menu widget. I realize this is less than ideal and is no quick fix, but in light of how big an issue this has become, I think it would be worth it. An icon menu really is quite a different than than a textual menu, and so it makes sense to have a different amount of spacing between the two.

I played around a bit with some theme settings. Ted is actually right as the indicator-application uses a theme setting to generate the spacing around the icons. If you put or change the following line in the default style in your theme's gtkrc the gap between the icons in the panel should disappear (make sure that it is nor overwritten by another style later): GtkMenuItem::horizontal-padding = 0 However, this setting also affects the menu which looks quite ugly afterwards (no spacing between menu items). To avoid this you can put the following line in the style which is assigned to GtkMenuItem: xthickness = 5 I think this value should be increased by the same amount as horizontal- padding was reduced. -- Application Indicators too wide https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/527267 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Ok, this is fine, but why not setting the default value for the indicator horizontal padding to a more reasonable value directly in its sources instead of waiting that every available theme would adapt to it (and we all know that we can't wai that)...

Also, the systray should keep the same distance. -- Application Indicators too wide https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/527267 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 527267] Re: Application Indicators too wide
It affects me using 'Clearlooks' theme. I really don't care that the icons with more spacing are 'more organized', all I see is inconsistency with Notification Area. Either decrease spacing in indicator-applet or increase spacing in Notification Area. Or better yet, give users the option to choose the spacing they want. ** Attachment added: notification.png http://launchpadlibrarian.net/48080922/notification.png -- Application Indicators too wide https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/527267 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 527267] Re: Application Indicators too wide
I'll agree this needs to be fixed. See attached screengrab. I don't know the pixel count, but it looks to me like it's using 7 icons of panel space to display 4 icons. W-a-a-a-y too much padding, particularly on this 1024x768-max resolution laptop. ** Attachment added: AppletIndicator.png http://launchpadlibrarian.net/47961652/AppletIndicator.png -- Application Indicators too wide https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/527267 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 527267] Re: Application Indicators too wide
I hate to not be on the this is a theme bug, fix it bandwagon that everyone else is, but this isn't a theme bug, it's a bug in indicator- applet for overloading the gtkrc panel definitions. I've mangled my human theme to turn off all panel padding, which brings the indicator icons closer to each other, but it doesn't actually fix the bug (there's still more padding in indicator-applet than anywhere else on the panel) and has the nasty side-effect of, duh, removing all padding on the rest of the panel. So, my clock is now shoved against the right of my screen, other panel applets and icons have zero padding between them, but the indicator- applet icons are still slightly excessively padded (though less so than before the change). This really needs fixing in the code itself. indicator-applet, like the old skool notification area, shouldn't be using gtkrc panel padding and overloading its meaning while, seemingly, adding even more padding of its own. If we want our icons nearly touching (mobile devices, tiny screens?), we should be allowed that. Notification Area may have offended some people due to the hideously non-standard ways in which it was used and abused, but the way it rendered icons (shove 'em in, side-by-side, let icon pack designers worry about making sure they don't space stupidly) seemed. Well.

I am using elementary theme and same problem. Actually I checked all themes and the problem remains. If anyone has a solution how to fix this with settings in gtkrc-2.0 would be great if he could post it.
