+Set plugin padding
+Whilst the padding is one space per default, can be whatever you want it to be, whether that's whitespace or other characters.
+**If you want to remove any padding, you need to use a zero width space!**
+
+```bash
+set -g @dracula-left-pad ' ° '
+set -g @dracula-right-pad ' ° '
+# no padding with zero width space
+set -g @dracula-left-pad '​'
