I've been setting up Qtile and everything has been going relatively well. I started using the Bsp layout which worked well with the default qtile bar and spacing. The first split was horizontal (when second window was opened) and gave me two side-by-side windows and everything was fine.
I decided to install polybar. In doing so, I edited the qtile config to remove the default bar and added a new screen section for a small gap:
screens = [ Screen(border_width=[5, 0, 5, 0])]While this adjusted the top gap as intended, I noticed the Bsp layout started splitting the screen the other way (instead of side-by-side for the first split, it is one above another). I tried the lower_right attribute as well as tried different ratio values but can't seem to get it to do the original horizontal split again.
FWIW, I chose the Bsp layout because it gives me the quadrant view when 4 windows are open but I'm open to using another layout if it splits horizontally first and eventually goes to quadrants when reaching 4 windows.
Any thoughts on how I can get Bsp to behave the way it does with the bigger gap on top while maintaining the small top gap?

I must have had an issue with the updated screens section. As per https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Qtile# … e_main_bar , I emptied the attributes from the screen section and it started working normally again.
