Created attachment 197
screenshot of windows taskbar

When showing two timers in the taskbar, they are drawn too close together. See the attached screenshot: There is no (or hardly any) padding between the micro-pause timer and the cup icon of the restbreak.

I've done some additional experimenting, and I'm not sure having two timers in the taskbar is a usable configuration (at least on windows)

The thing is, the number of icons in the system tray (and hence its size) changes over time. The wr toolbar detects these changes, and alternates between a "left-right" layout and a "top-bottom" layout. The top-bottom layout isn't useful for me, because my taskbar is only one row high, so in top-bottom I only see half of both timers.

It would be an improvement if the toolbar only changes to top-bottom layout if there is sufficient vertical space, and always remain in left-right layout if not (regardless of available space)

- Padding fixed.
- Vertical space only used when available (only tested on Window 7 which has a larger taskbar...)
