Description

## Problem

![Screenshot from 2021-08-19 09-44-15@2x](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/41798/130040216-abcd32c0-ef18-4cbd-a421-77cf6537fd62.png)

This is a “nice to have”, aesthetic/emotional, and in no way essential.

Windows + wingpanel entirely covers up the wallpaper when a window is maximized or snapped left/right. Thereby feeling like a different mode and breaking some of the physicality of the desktop metaphor.

## Proposal

It would be nice to have snapping behaviour (and the maximize) feature have gaps. So, instead of taking up the full real-estate, your wall paper shows through and there are margins around the windows.

## Prior Art

Some tiling managers implement this.
