Sidebar spacing change?

[Lilly]

So after latest update, my sidebar margins and padding seem off now on my sites and I feel like I now have to custom re-adjust them because the spacing is cramped. what was the rationale for the recent changes? is there a topic discussing these changes somewhere?

UX: Spacing & padding adjustments to sidebar items, rows, and buttons (#37019)

Not sure, but I think this recent fix is in the queue to address at least a part of this:

FIX: Sidebar badge width

i think that fix is for the review queue pending indicator

@jordan.vidrine take a look and weigh in here when your week begins.

i’ve already made a fix for my sites by reverting some of the changed variables, so it’s fine. it is just nice to have a bit of a warning or information beforehand. i thought i had introduced some unwanted changes while working on something unrelated and couldn’t figure out how, then i realized there were some different variables in the sidebar classes.

Especially in large sections, I don’t like the reduced spacing that much. The doc sidebar now looks much more squished than before.

The lock symbol is now very close to the category badge, so for me, it’s more difficult to see it.

And I miss the larger avatars in the DM section
