+### Description
+This patch adds gaps around windows regardless of a layout.
+This means you can apply any layout patches and the gaps will be displayed there as well.
+
+This works by allowing a layout to place windows its way,
+but then correcting windows positions and dimensions afterwards to add gaps around them.
+To make it work, `resize()` function was modified.
+As a side effect, it also fixed some flickering I experienced when using [snail][snail] layout.
