Hi all,
A window can have right and left margins, but is there something similar
for the top and bottom of a window?
I've been thinking of creating a small window at the top displaying an
empty buffer and making it dedicated, but I doubt that would be very
robust... Perhaps there's a better way?

It's not exactly a margin, and it applies to the frame not a window, but
I use the internalBorder X resource to add some space around the edges.

C-h v header-line-format RET
Try: (setq header-line-format "Hello World!")
Use:
M-x customize-face RET header-line RET
and set the Height to change the height of the header line.

Mmm, I see there's a frame parameter with that same name, which I can
use for my purpose. Thanks!
