Application launcher in Pypanel

Greetings,

Does anyone know how to get pixel separation between icons in the application launcher ? I found in the .pypanelrc where to set the separation between panel elements (i.e. desktop name, tasklist, clock, etc), but can't find anything where I can specify separation between icons. Basically, it bothers me that they are all "smashed up" next to each other.

Re: Application launcher in Pypanel

What app would you recommend for taking a screenshot ? I have both Gnome and XFCE installed.

Here is a screenshot. I guess I forgot to mention this is pypanel running under Openbox.

Re: Application launcher in Pypanel

cannot quite make out the icons, you need to point to full size screenshot

Sorry about that. Never had an occasion before to have to post a screenshot, so I am having to figure it out as I go along. This should be a full size screenshot now.

Re: Application launcher in Pypanel

Does not look too bad :-) maybe increase the size of panel a little see if that helps

Your doing fine welcome to Arch

Re: Application launcher in Pypanel

Figured out a workaround. Added empty application launchers between the actual entries and now I have a nice spacing between icons. Here is the code --

#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Application Launch List: Ordered list of icons and applications for the
#                          application launcher.
# 
# Add entries using the following format -
#     ("<executable>", "<full path to icon>")
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LAUNCH_LIST     = [
                   ("swiftfox", "/opt/swiftfox/icons/icon32.png"),
                   ("", ""),
                   ("sylpheed", "/usr/share/pixmaps/sylpheed.png"),
                   ("", ""),
                   ("gvim", "/usr/share/pixmaps/gvim.png"),
                   ("", ""),
                   ("xfterm4", "/usr/share/pixmaps/terminal.xpm")
                  ]

Thanks for all the help you have given me today.
