<p>The Clipboard plasmoid stood out to me because as another unibody plasmoid, it \

<p>Now as for adding differentation in Kickoff, my observations were:</p>

<ul class="remarkup-list">
<li class="remarkup-list-item">Kickoff isn&#039;t actually unibody -&gt; if we look \
closely, Breeze Dark reveals that it actually places tabs into squares + other tabs \

class="remarkup-list-item">Other plasmoids do make use of separators, adding them \
would not create a design inconsistency on the whole</li> <li \
class="remarkup-list-item">Although not as common, some plasmoids do also shade \
certain sections differently (e.g. plasma-pa), so at least what can be concluded is \
that shading a part of Kickoff differently also wouldn&#039;t be unprecedented</li> \
