Screenshot with red marks

With e4, the workbench window contains too much white space around views that doesn't serve a purpose (see red marks in the attached screenshot).

In 3.x, the white area around the part contents was only 2px wide, and it was painted with a different color when the part was active. This "active part" indication is missing in e4, and there's too much wasted space that only creates visual noise. I cannot even use that area to resize parts.

I modified the padding values in my CSS to get around this loss of screen real estate. Didn't occur to me how much was gone until I saw Markus's screenshot.

This is still a super-easy target for 4.2 bashing. It should be fixed before the release.

I have a proposal Gerrit review with reduces the whitespace usage including the padding in Bug 420238 (see attached screenshot) Maybe this bug can be marked as duplicate?
