discussed in #554, user concerns about the distance between the indicators and I myself agree with it.

I need this functionality! Thank you! My icons are too far apart

Why not just a slider or spinbox for the icon spacing? There's already one for size.

hmm i think it is better if we implement the menu model of upstream gjs. we can reuse the [panelbutton].menu as the current menu opened just like in QuickSettings. this way it behaves like the quick settings, the only difference is that it uses app indicator buttons instead of the quick settings items.

I think a good approach is how the quick settings indicator push all the indicators inside a main panel menu button indicator. the icons are still clickable and will be same way as appindicators if implemented. this way we can really get a try compact mode.

like this

Or we could implement quick settings behavior
