Hi Bas,

Problem is that "Static" position in xmobar doesn't handle struts. Use 
Top/Bottom/TopW/BottomW instead of Static to get gaps working. If you 
use xinerama and want to have xmobar on different screen than the first 
one, take testing patch from
https://www.hck.sk/free/xmobar-testing-patches/xmobar_on_screen_position.dpatch
and use OnScreen X {SPEC}, where X is the screen number and {SPEC} is 
one of Top/Bottom/TopW/BottomW/Static. Example taken from my .xmobarrc:
...
       , position = OnScreen 1 Top
...


HTH,
