Margin / spacing / gaps between notifications?
Is it possible to add some spacing between notifications?
I tried producing the desired effect with separator_color = "#00000000", but that doesn't quite achieve what I want.
wired-notify supports this via a gap config setting if I recall correctly. It is also a popular feature among different tiling window managers such as AwesomeWM (beautiful.useless_gap = 5) or QTile (layout property margin=5).
I have implemented this feature for myself quickly, you can view the commit/diff here: https://github.com/paddyw2/dunst/commit/436613f0975a5686bdc028f6b46bb61247af036b
It allows me to set these values in the config file:
[global]
gaps = true
gap_size = 10
Happy to clean it up and submit a PR, but it sounds like there's some code base refactoring planned first. So in the meantime you might want to try out the edits above and just build and install locally.

Cool. I'd be happy to accept it as a PR. It's a pretty small patch and when we implement multiple windows, it can be replaced in a backward compatible way. So I see no issues with adding it to master :)
What's good to think about for the PR is mouse clicking to close notifications. I suspect that clicks in between the notifications are getting picked up by dunst. On top of that, the notification height calculation might be off, leading to the wrong notification being closed on click. This calculation should be fixed and it's probably best to ignore clicks that are in between notifications, since that can only really be fixed by multiple windows AFAIK.
