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:

If you just need to move the icon a bit to the left like I did, you can still use the leading property and just set the alignment on the IconButton:

    leading: Builder(
      builder: (BuildContext context) {
        return IconButton(
          onPressed: () => Navigator.pop(context),
          icon: MyIcon(),
          alignment: Alignment(-0.5, 0.0), // move icon a bit to the left
        );
      },
    ),
