When restarting dk there is a padding/gaps at the top #14

I'm running Debian 12, with dk v2.3 I just updated dk and when I restart the window manager a gap appears at the top of the screen, and every time I restart the gap increases, this didn't happen previous to updating. I'm running polybar from the Debian repositories. It's my first time posting an issue, so please tell me what can I do to provide you with more information to test this.

Also, I made the update following the steps on the doc

Hi, I did some testing. I think is an issue with starting polybar within dkrc. I just commented out the line that launched polybar on my dkrc and put it on .xinitrc and that solved the problem. Hope it helps to do some testing

This is not a dk bug, this is standard behavior of polybar. To avoid this, run polybar using a script as specified in archwiki https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Polybar#Running_with_a_window_manager or add these two lines to dkrc:

killall polybar
