Version 0.5.0 of package Spacious-Padding has just been released in GNU ELPA.
You can now find it in M-x list-packages RET.
Spacious-Padding describes itself as:
==================================================
Increase the padding/spacing of frames and windows
==================================================

## Summary:
# spacious-padding for GNU Emacs

- <https://protesilaos.com/codelog/2023-11-15-spacious-padding-extra-ui-dev/>
This package provides a global minor mode to increase the
spacing/padding of Emacs windows and frames. The idea is to make
editing and reading feel more comfortable. Enable the mode with `M-x
spacious-padding-mode`. Adjust the exact spacing values by modifying
the user option `spacious-padding-widths`.
Inspiration for this package comes from [Nicolas Rougier's impressive
designs](https://github.com/rougier) and [Daniel Mendler's
`org-modern` package](https://github.com/minad/org-modern).

═════════════════════════════
This is a bug fix release.
1.1 Starting a frame from the daemon/server works as well
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Before, if Emacs would start as a new server process via a client, it
would not set the faces and the frame parameters correctly.
I have made sure this no longer happens, so the padding/spacing should
look as expected at startup no matter what.
Thanks to tusharhero and Julian Flake for reporting this and testing
the updated code. It was done in issue 13:
<https://github.com/protesilaos/spacious-padding/issues/13>.
1.2 The padding of relevant elements can be set to 0
────────────────────────────────────────────────────
This concerns anything that has a box with padding around it. From the
user option `spacious-padding-widths', we have the following
attributes:
• `:tab-width'
• `:tab-bar-width'
• `:tab-line-width'
• `:header-line-width'
• `:mode-line-width'
Thanks to Ruby Iris Juric for the contribution. It was done in pull
request 7: <https://github.com/protesilaos/spacious-padding/pull/7>.
The change is less than the 15-line limit, so Ruby does not need to
assign copyright to the Free Software foundation.
1.3 The right-divider-width has a fallback value at all times
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
This means that even if the `:right-divider-width' is not included in
the value of `spacious-padding-widths', there will still be a padding
in place. We were already doing this for other scenaria, but not for
this specific case. Thanks to Stefano Rodighiero for bringing this
matter to my attention in issue 11:
<https://github.com/protesilaos/spacious-padding/issues/11>.
1.4 Reasonable defaults even if `spacious-padding-widths' is set to nil
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
All the attributes of the `spacious-padding-widths' should be optional
and the value could even be nil. We take care internally to use a
reasonable fallback value. We do this on the assumption that the user
who enables `spacious-padding-mode' does actually want “spacious
padding” and not something that does nothing.
2 Version 0.4.0 on 2024-03-04
═════════════════════════════
This version add some quality-of-life improvements to an already solid
package.
2.1 The vertical border can now remain visible
──────────────────────────────────────────────
The user option `spacious-padding-widths' is the single point of entry
for all types of padding supported by the package. The property
`:right-divider-width' applies to the vertical border between windows.
When it is set to 1 pixel in width, it is no longer made invisible.
Higher values do make it invisible, to produce the padding effect.
Spacing between windows can still be increased by modifying the
now-supported fringes (more below, including a code sample).
Thanks to Aronne Raimondi for suggesting the possibility of a visible
divider. This was done via a private channel and the information is
shared with permission.
2.2 Add padding to the window fringes
─────────────────────────────────────
The fringe area is the space to the left and right side of every
window where indicators such as for line continuation/truncation are
displayed. The user option `spacious-padding-widths' can now be … …
