tiling overlaps auto-hide panels

[joaovpimenta]

On Zorin16 presets got a floating top bar, when im try to activate this extensions it ignores the topbar of gnome and hide the titlebar of the windows under it. If i activate the gap i can manage to mitigate this problem but doesn't solve it. The way that i can see this thing solved is (and i suggest):

1: have an gap exclusive to the top on the extension settings
2: manage to recognize the modified top bar of Zorin16

Especially on the second sugestion its only an way to say it, i dont know nothing about how to do it or even if its possible. I could share any other info needed for resolve this problem. I really apreciatte the effort on this extension.

Some additional info:
Gnome version: 3.38 on Wayland

Thanks for the report! I'll see if I can include on the next release. Do you have a screenshot on how it looks with the top bar?

These without gapps:

Now with gapp(it may vary based on the topbar settings of each user):

Hey thanks for the additional screenshot. Are you currently using the top bar from Zorin? As a work around, I think you can disable it in Gnome Tweaks. If you are, then putting the gaps bigger on Forge is the best option right now. I would be able to look into this by end of the week

Yeah, i've deactivate the top bar for now, while i wait for an update.

Can you let me know how to get that top bar? I installed Zorin OS Core 16 and it looks like the same as Dash to Panel to me. The tiling extension seems to work well without overlapping the top bar.

On Zorin Appearance chose the last one available(Gnome like), and then on gnome tweaks or extensions activate de Zorin Taskbar and activate Panel Intellihide with rounded corners.

Thank you for the additional info - let me see if this can be fixed, since it does look like Zorin might have positioned the top bar via CSS which will ignore the work area parameters.

Hi @Kazvko - I see the same behavior in Dash to Panel and Dash to Dock - however - that option was meant to be for intellihide - which is to float above windows and ignore the workarea (the area on the workspace minus the panel's area). I would assume you have selected to use the setting: the panel hides from Maximized windows to achieve that effect with rounded corners in Zorin Topbar in the Intellihide options (this is from Dash to Panel).

Can probably add a new top/right/left/bottom gap option in prefs.js to manually handle this in addition to the natural gaps between windows. And the user has to set it everytime depending on how Zorin Top bar or Dash to Panel is positioned.
