Hi, I’d like to add some padding around the app drawer but haven’t been able to find a way to do it.
I don’t mean padding around each individual item in the drawer, I mean the drawer itself.
It seems the home position of the item grid is 0, 0. I’d like to add 20px padding so the grid would start at 20, 20 (and also add the same padding to the bottom and right).
Thanks in advance 🙂

alternative way
1. create new desktop
2. create panel on new desktop
3. set panel position, border etc. as you want and put app icons from app drawer
4. create action icon on default desktop and set to work ‘go to specific desktop’
5. name that icon as app drawer

Thanks Hangsu, the problem with that is if have to add every icon manually, and keep it up to date as I add and remove apps.
Incidentally, I did something similarly on my desktop: changed it to a grid of 20 columns and 30 rows. I size the icons at 2×2 and leave a column on the left and right empty as padding

long press icon enables muti-selection. it may help you.
but adding and removing new icons… actually no way I think.

Glenn Thomson​ there’s a script to create the app grid within a panel but you’d have to look for the script. It’s a little laggy though. EDIT:the script is now integrated into multitool but isn’t free.

getEvent().getContainer().addPanel(0,0,0,0).setContainerId(99);
Run this script from any container to create a panel with the app draw contents. Then you can change its margin and set it as you want.
WARNING!
The script creates a panel and changes the container it is showing with the app drawer one. This is a only-script feature that can give unexpected results. You will be able to edit the app drawer as any other container, you will be able to remove icons and add anything for example, but maybe when opening the real app drawer if you did something that isn’t normally allowed it crashes.
I mean, it is ok to use this script and nothing bad should happen under normal conditions (if you don’t edit the duplicated app drawer, editing the panel container is ok)…but I can’t promise it so better make a backup first.

Thanks for everyone’s replies. I was Keen to keep using the app drawer itself to make use of all its features.
I came up with a solution that allows me to give around a 40px margin on the left and right. Here what I did:
1. Switch to use fixed column width. Subtract 40 from your screen width. (Eg. 1080 – 40 = 1040). For 4 columns, divide by 4 (=260). Set this as your column width. This will give you a 40px strip down the right.
2. Edit the items to put 40px left margin.
That’s it. It has severe drawbacks. The 40px left margin applies to every column. You can see there’s a lot of text wrapping because of the extra margin. (I did manage to put the page indicator down the right margin)
