Area(s) with issue?

FancyZones

Steps to reproduce

• Update to the latest PowerToys
• Launch it as an administrator
• Notice that FancyZones has defaulted to priority grid with padding (even though the previously set zone was a custom zone).
• Change layout through editor (two times for FancyZones to actually reflect this update)
• Notice that FancyZones adds a padding even when removed through Zone Editor settings.
• Repeated by setting different presets through Zone Editor, both pre-defined as well as custom.
• Repeated by editing custom zone to adjust padding (as that shows a Save button).
• Notice that Zones still have padding, regardless of what is done through settings.
• Despair. Am I missing a setting that always adds padding? Space around zones is turned off. And interestingly enough, the preview through Zone Editor shows the expected behavior (read: no padding), but FancyZones itself does not respect this.

✔️ Expected Behavior

• Respect the settings set through Zone Editor.

❌ Actual Behavior

• Any selected zone always has padding (space around zone).

Other Software

• N/A

Yup came here to say this.

Also experiencing this. I have to enable space around zones, but set it to zero for it to work properly.

Confirming that this worked for me. The slider actually lets you go to -10 ! Was a little tricky to get it right just to 0, but once set, it worked to get the expected behavior, thank you @shayded-exe .

You can adjust the pixel values using your arrow keys once you clicked on the slider.
