I have added a Common Issues and Fixes section to the theme ReadMe. These are theme-specific. I have a few indentation and layout issues with this section.

Notes:

  • Minimal variant without phone link panel.
  • Expanded folder size is still 3x3

Changes I could not make:

  • Working towards changing the expanded folder modal size to 2x2 for this variant.
    (Issue faced: Items hidden by scroll viewer, despite tweaks)

Will now mark this as Ready for review, and submit this theme. My other requirements will be completed much later in time, cause I have a few exams coming up..
Thanks!

@m417z Hi! Can you review and merge this when you get a chance?
I might be unavailable for a month or two, so I would like to wrap this up soon.

Hey, thanks for the contribution. We are currently prioritizing some taskbar theme updates to include in the next taskbar styler update. We may not get to this right away.
