Interesting. The platforms where I spend most on my time these days are 
macOS and Windows. This may be one of the reasons why I don't like the 
default mode-line that much.

On the screens I use wasting 6 to 10 pixels for the padding would not 
make a significant difference. However, the smallest screes I use are 
13" high DPI screens.

Does anyone know how to add some padding to the minibuffer?
