Consider how panel configuration is passed to applet about cosmic-panel HOT 2 CLOSED

We'll also want to start writing documentation for the environment applets run in, and how an applet needs to work. Both low level documentation and how to use abstractions like libcosmic_applet.

Ya, originally i had planned to watch the config file for changes in the panel and in the applets so that they could adjust dynamically, but I think that is probably not necessary. A couple of env vars would be fine,

I agree get_applet_icon_size() is not the best approach. I think if libcosmic_applet exposed a function for getting an applet icon button, and text button, that might be better, and lead to more uniform applets. Applets themselves could still have additional padding, but the panel could hide applets that don't match the size constraints which it defines.
