I did something like this to change the margins depending on the process.

APPNAME=$(wmctrl -lx | grep $(xprop -root | grep _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW | head -1 | \
    awk '{print $5}' | sed 's/,//' | sed 's/^0x/0x0/') | cut -d " " -f 4)

echo $APPNAME

MARGIN_TOP=0
MARGIN_RIGHT=0
MARGIN_BOTTOM=0
MARGIN_LEFT=0

if [[ $APPNAME == io.elementary* ]] || [[ $APPNAME == gedit* ]] ;
then
    echo $APPNAME
    # Margins around windows (elementary OS native apps) (HiDPI)
    MARGIN_TOP=130
    MARGIN_RIGHT=158
    MARGIN_BOTTOM=185
    MARGIN_LEFT=158
fi

# In case window is tiled, disable tile
wmctrl -r :ACTIVE: -b remove,maximized_vert,maximized_horz

Add remove maximized_horz would be better.
