It would be really nice if the Tiling Shell Gnome extension allowed users to customize the margins for Inner Gaps & Outer Gaps individually for each side (left, right, top, and bottom). Currently, the extension only supports setting a uniform value for all sides.

What I'd like is the ability to set specific values for each side individually, like this:

Inner Gaps

  • Inner gaps left: 12
  • Inner gaps right: 12
  • Inner gaps bottom: 2
  • Inner gaps top: 2

Outer Gaps

  • Outer gaps left: 10
  • Outer gaps right: 10
  • Outer gaps bottom: 4
  • Outer gaps top: 4

This would provide much more flexibility in configuring the layout to suit different screen setups and personal preferences. Because without this feature, it feels a bit restrictive to make the placement design of the windows.

Hey everyone, thank you for sharing your interest on this! I am very interested to know more about the solutions this functionality can solve, mostly because having separate left/right/top/bottom configuration will confuse some people. Would you like to share why you were looking into customizable left/top/bottom/right gaps? 🌠

Hi, thank you for reacting. I mainly want to not lose window space height-wise. Currently the margin is applied on all 4 sides.
I realise this is a highly personal preference. For Illustration purposes, see these two screenshots, one with the current outer-gap option set to 20 and one where I positioned the windows manually the way i'd like them to be positioned.
