Description

### Problem

Screenshot of the dock as it is today, with a red circle over the separator bar

The app launchers are currently very close to the workspaces; the separator has very little padding and is barely visible.

### Proposal

Because app launchers and workspaces work in very distinct ways, adding some space between them would make it easier to visualize what's what in a glance.

As an alternative to adding more padding, I can imagine the dock surface breaking up in two parts: the apps and the workspaces.
