11/16/2023, 11:12 AMHello, is there a way to make the default padding smaller on desktop?
For example: FloatingActionButton has the correct padding for mobile, but I want the button to be smaller on desktop, is there a local I can override?

11/16/2023, 11:33 AMA pretty terrible hack that is sometimes usable to work around this is to scale the widget down by setting LocalDensity to e.g. 0.8, and then scaling back the content of the widget by 1.25

11/18/2023, 2:49 PMFAB is a material design thing and it specifies the amount of padding in the spec. The material library is sometimes very opinionated. Having a FAB on desktop can look out of place. Google recommends putting them in a navigation rail for large screens: https://m3.material.io/components/floating-action-button/guidelines#34a9762a-b855-465d-9263-650b81a05f42
