Resizing the Deskbar window like every other window via
CTRL+ALT+right-drag is consistent. Additionally, a width setting under
"Window" in the Deskbar preferences would be nice and also improves
discoverablity. Maybe not with a slider, but a text box (plus spinner
widget, once it's available. (also add a spinner to the Recent...
entries in the "Menu" settings there)).
WRT to a second knobbly widget to the left of the tray, it takes quite
some aiming. More so as there's no screen edge to guide the mouse as
with the moving-knobblies to the right (in standard mode). It'd be
easily overlooked and may even eat some space from the tray.
Nice you'll tackle that one, looncraz. The Deskbar is ripe for
evolution. (As is the Twitcher, btw... :) )
