I highly recommend the patch in #30 and it's PPA #48! While spacing is not 100% the same as in the Notification Area, the difference between the two is MUCH less noticable. Very well done!

I do not understand how anyone can say this is a theme issue. Could that be explained a little more clearly please? Icon spacing is not a problem anywhere else but in the Indicator-Applet. There is a patch that improves the spacing. It seems obvious that it would be a problem with Indicator-Applet.

Why not just accept the patch, maybe improve on it by allowing user-defined icon spacing, and move on? It would be easier for everyone involved to distribute one patched version than to try to get multiple themes by multiple designers patched (and likely to produce other bad visual side effects) and distributed.
