[CF 1242] Add ability to control dimensions of bars

I started using progress bars and vertical bars, but one thing that makes them less ideal for me is that I can't customize their sizes at all, other than scale.

Specifically - bars are wider than I'd like. I currently hack around it a little by using large transparent bar borders but clearly that's not how it's supposed to be used, and also not very robust.

Thanks for an awesome addon!

Wait... You're saying they're too close together? That's what your transparent border seems to suggest. Why not use the Icon Spacing settings on the group?

I thought I'd clarify that the specific bars I'm talking about are vertical bars. It might be that the option only exists for horizontal bars?

See attachment. Are those settings not sufficient for you?

These settings do nothing when I try and use them (eg - created a vertical group with 1 healthbar. Playing with both settings did nothing to affect the size of the bar).

By the name, it would suggest these settings are meant to affect the position of bars within the group not the dimensions of the bars themselves

I still really have no idea what you're asking me. If the bars are too wide, then adjust their size using the resize handle on the group.

That answer is actually not trivial - I was not aware I could use it to resize (and not just scale). Resizing this way does provide me with what I was looking for.

However - it would be cool to be able to control the size of a single bar. With this method, I would need to have a different group for each bar with a different size.

Is changing the scale and the length not functionally equivalent to changing the length and width?
