Avoid status bar #2

Open langston-barrett opened 8 years ago

langston-barrett commented 8 years ago

I have a dzen status bar running as part of my WM config, and I'd love to use your library, but it causes windows to shadow that status bar! There are two ways around this:

  1. Do whatever the default layouthook does to detect these bars and automatically avoid them
  2. Enable some arbitrary margin from any side of the screen to be configured

What do you think?

I'd also like to note that this behavior is constant no matter what software is used as a statusbar, I've tested with dzen2 and lemonbar.
