+1. I actually kinda like the look with the spacing.

+1. However, there may be more than four icons present at some points.
Example:
- KMix
- Battery
- Wifi
- Device Notifier
- Notification icon

The Device Notifier and Notification icon will only be present temporarily, but 
if the rightmost icon would overlap with the clock in these situations, it would 
still be ugly. So I'd say it should look perfect with 3 to 4 icons, but still 
acceptable with five (or maybe even six).

Would it be possible to adjust the spacing with the screen resolution? E.g. on 
an ExoPC there is much more space available - and should be used - than on a 
Vivaldi.

Cheers,
Thomas
