By default, the panel distributes the plugins from left to right (or from top to bottom, if the panel is in Vertical or Deskbar mode). However, it is possible to align plugins to the center or to the right (or bottom) of the panel by inserting [[separator|separators]] to the left (or above) these plugins. By inserting at least two expandable separators it is also possible to position plugins at the center of the panel. | By default, the panel distributes the plugins from left to right (or from top to bottom, if the panel is in Vertical or Deskbar mode).
