Bug Description

Dragging an icon on to the dock should generate a space that is the width of the zoomed launcher + normal buffer.

Currently, a 48px dock generates a very small space to drag into. However, a 16px dock generates this ridiculously huge space to drag into.

This doesn't make sense.

Also, spacing should not be uniform, it should scale just as the icons scale.

And with zoom disabled I see no space at all.

I really didn't see the issue you raised but I have confirmed (for me) that it shows a good spacing.

Now with no zoom enabled (like on panel mode) it also gives spacing.

I think this is not totally fixed. When moving launchers within th dock, the spacing is correct. However, when dragging new launchers into, there's no spacing.

Running rev 1345 at size 32 and 200% zoom; screenshot will be attached.

I can see spacing in your screenshot. Why can't you see it? It's right there. Look at all the space between each item!

The spacing is *different* from an internal drag, that is intentional!

Hey Robert, still not quite fixed. We might want to double check what the spacing is being generated based on. It looks like its been generated based on the size set in the prefs and not what the actual icon size is. Here are two screenshots of the same dock. One is set to have 128px icons, the other is to have 24px icons. Because of the large amount of launchers, it is neither 128px or 24px in reality. So the zoom level is being calculated weird.

Also, I feel like the spacing should degrade more quickly. It should be like half as big as it gets farther away from center.
