When reloading the config using the sxhkd binding, often bspwm seems to ignore the bottom padding assigned to windows of the second monitor, leading to a rather large gap below them.
Screenshot with red line roughly where my monitors are separated
I have my secondary monitor above my primary, and in the screenshot above I drew a red line to represent roughly where one ends and the other begins.
Here is my bspwmrc:
#! /bin/sh
# pgrep -x sxhkd > /dev/null || sxhkd -s &
# pgrep -io "sxhkd" || { killall sxhkd; sxhkd > /dev/null 2>&1 & }
pgrep -io "sxhkd" | xargs kill
sxhkd -s &
pgrep -x copyq > /dev/null || copyq &
pgrep -x xfce4-power-manager > /dev/null || xfce4-power-manager &
pgrep -x dunst > /dev/null || dunst &
pgrep -x nm-applet > /dev/null || nm-applet &
pgrep -x picom > /dev/null | xargs kill
picom -b

# On startup, bottom monitor's background is stretched and generally looks bad (its just a bunch of lines), until I restart my bspwm session. Placing the feh command a second time to test if this solves it.

Sometimes, if I reload it a couple times it fixes itself, but this time it refuses to do so, no matter how many times I relaod it.
