How to change the distance between the icons #117

Docklike is what I have missed under Xfce 14. I like it.

Here is how it looks like on my system:
ksnip_20211030-083159

Question: Is there a way to reduce the space between the icons without reducing the size of the icons? Unfotunately I have not found in settings the possibility to change the distance between the icons in Docklike. (v0.3.0)

This is not a subject about design and looks. It's a subject about usability. I use a vertical panel and want to be able to have the place for as much icons in Docklike as possible. And on the other hand the icons should be as big as possible, so that I can see them good.

I would prefer something like this:
ksnip_20211030-083201

As you can see:
In the second picture I have place for about 6.5 icons, whereas in picture one, I only have place for 5 icons.

How can I get this in Docklike?

Thank you.

Same issue, the spacing is very wide compared to the "standard" dock spacing.

Suspect I could mess with gtk_box_set_spacing in the source code but haven't tried it yet.

How it looks currently for me, I cannot fit as many icons as I would like:

For Devs: Would be great, if we could change this settings directly via Docklike Gui.

Thanks, for whatever reason changing padding and margin values had no effect for me (Debian 12 ARM). It's ok for now, just doesn't look as nice with the larger spacing.
