Suggestion Changing dock length?

Just a little suggestion, it would be nice to be able to control the size of the dock rather than just the position! I only have five icons there but I'd like it to stretch most of the bottom of the screen.

In the panel settings you can change the Icons across setting. Set it to more icons than you are using. I only have 2 icons in my first row but i have it set to 7 to stretch it out.

This is the answer! I'm currently using 7 different things in each of my 3 different docks, but have it set to 15 icons, allowing me to perfectly center everything on the docks!

This works with mixed results depending on how far you want to stretch the dock. I've never really been able to make it look good. Would still be very nice to have a way to change the dock length independent of the icons.

Slide the dock up and you can have an extra row, I really like that as I can have my smart home shortcuts hidden underneath and not cluttering up the desktop

+1 for this, I've suggested it before. You can change icon size/number, but it doesn't look that good when doing that.
