Buttons outside

This pushes the buttons to the outside edge when using the bottom panel.

I believe that this addresses issue #16. It also makes it more intuitive when using centered tasks.

This actually does not address issues #16. It does put the buttons and the edge of the screen for the bottom panel. This prevents the buttons from moving around as the number of open windows changes.

Any thoughts?

I noticed while looking into issue #16 that if I turn off the Tasks while using the bottom bar that all the buttons end up on the far left. The only reason I can think of for having a bottom panel without tasks is to show the favorites. I can think of several ways to fix that:

  • Use where the Tasks would go as a placeholder for what buttons go to the far right.
  • Put everything in boxMain when Tasks is off.
  • Put the Favorites in boxMain when Tasks is off. Do one of the two previous things if both Tasks and Favorites are off.
  • Add additional configuration options to control pushing buttons to the outer edges. There are already a lot of options. I'm not sure what option setting(s) would be the most intuitive. I can think of several ideas for possible options.
