Description Allan Day 2013-08-26 12:31:02 UTC 
The icons are quite closely packed, which makes it a bit difficult to "read" them, and looks a bit cramped. Increasing the padding would also make the click target bigger.

It's just a minor padding change, but we're past UI freeze.

Before and after screenshots

Before is on top, bottom is below. This looks good when the a11y and input sources menus are not displayed. When they are, the padding on the left of the triangles becomes a bit of an issue. It might be OK though.

I'm not sure it's big enough a change to bother doc/release team with it, but feel free to ask if you disagree :-)
Comment 4 Frederic Peters 2013-08-26 13:18:37 UTC 
Speaking with my release team hat on, I think it's fine not to ask for such pixel changes at this moment.

Oops, I already asked...
Comment 6 Matthias Clasen 2013-08-26 14:40:36 UTC

patch

Updated patch that keeps the disclosure triangle a bit closer to the icons.
Comment 8 Allan Day 2013-08-28 13:41:07 UTC 
I got two or three +1s and no objections, so pushed.
