negative borders

📝 Provide a description of the new feature

What is the expected behavior of the proposed feature? What is the scenario this would be used?

i want the tiles in my grid to overlap by a considerable and configurable amount. a negative border value will make the window bigger than the tile.

Currently i use a grid of 4x3 cells on a 4k 65" tv and I would like to increase the number of cells in my grid whilst at the same time increasing the size of each cell. With this feature i will move to 5x4 with borders of ~-384. this could make edge and corner cells smaller depending on implementation, per cell configuration could be desirable, maybe x/y/-x/-y values configured independently.

edit: i actually currently have 'borders' turned off because even at 0 it feels weird. this is what i was thinking about but its not even called borders. instead of gaps i want it to overlap.

Are you sure your current settings are right for your desired result? I'm starting to think you might be better off using floating zones.

i am sure. the grid sets itself up :)

floating zones looked pretty jank.

a setting to overlap to complement contrast the gap setting would be ideal.

@mirddes why don't you set a negative value for spaces around zones?

[mirddes]

i've just tried it. seems to max out at -20 and whilst set to a negative value seems to break fancyzones entirely. it does show up correctly for a value of -20 whilst configuring zones.
