Once you're at the point where you have to further decrease your margin in order to make some purely cosmetical feature configurable, maybe it's time that you re-think whether you really need that feature in the first place or not. Or in this case specifically, maybe it's time to rethink whether you really need a power LED on your monitor as it will be undoubtedly obvious whether a monitor is in-fact powered or not by just looking at it.

> as it will be undoubtedly obvious whether a monitor is in-fact powered or not by just looking at it. Will it? Is the screen dark because it's off (janitor bumped it at night), because my laptop didn't wake up when I docked it, or because I forgot to plug the cable back in after fooling with an SBC on that monitor yesterday? The power light makes the state of the monitor obvious, and so does an image displaying on it. The light's useful for the edge cases when there isn't an image being displayed.
