How to remove extra padding around AppBar leading icon in Flutter

Question

In my Flutter app, I have this AppBar

Widget setAppBar(){
  return new AppBar(
    title: addAppBarTextWidget(\'Explore\'),
    elevation: 0.0,
    leading:

You can't do this because it is a predefined widget. You can, however, do this:

appBar: AppBar(
  automaticallyImplyLeading: false, // Don't show the leading button
  title: Row(
    mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.start,
    crossAxisAlignment: CrossAxisAlignment.center,
    children: [
      IconButton(
        onPressed: () => Navigator.pop(context),
        icon: Icon(Icons.arrow_back, color: Colors.white),
      ),
      // Your widgets here
    ],
  ),
),

Where automaticallyImplyLeading: true hides the leading IconButton so you can add your own widgets.
