Position app windows above zone title and description text #29

Description

Summary

Currently app windows can overlap the zone's title and description text on the wallpaper, making it hard to identify which zone you're looking at.

If windows were positioned above the title/description area, the zone label would always be visible — even with windows open. This makes navigation between spaces much more intuitive since you can always see where you are at a glance.

This requires coordination between:

  • Wallpaper rendering: where each style places the name/description text (varies by style)
  • App positioning: window placement needs to respect a "reserved" area for the text

Possible approaches:

  • Standardize text position across styles (e.g. always bottom-left)
  • Expose text bounds from the generator so the app manifest can avoid them
  • Add a textArea field to zone config that both rendering and positioning respect

Verified manually — having the label visible below windows is a significant UX improvement for spatial navigation.
