There are at least two issue requests here that should be reported
upstream.

https://github.com/budgie-desktop/budgie-desktop

 We cannot deal with enhancements to budgie-desktop here on launchpad.

I would suggest one issue for moving of the dock, and maybe a second
issue for the request for additional modes?

Title:
  Top Panel as a dock : precise alignment, spacers and display mode

Status in Ubuntu Budgie:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Hi,

  here is Ubuntu Budgie 17.10 64bits, on a core i7 haswell, 16Go ram.

  I try to avoid stacking too many horizontal bars on top of screen (
  panel + title bar or csd + menu )

  To achieve that I use top panel as a dock, with intelligent auto-hide.

  All my applets are in the center part of if. So they hide title bar or
  csd feature.

  I'm looking for a way to precisely move that dock, a little more on
  the right - but not in the right corner or they will hide some useful
  buttons again…

  For the moment only workaround I've found is using many many « spacers
  » on the left of my applets.

  Speaking about spacers : if their size is bigger than the actual
  height of panel/dock, it also moves down the base-line of panel/dock.
  Hence the use of many many spacers ( 39 spacers ×24px instead of
  9×100px + 1×36px )

  About auto-hide, maybe there are one or two missing modes :
  - always above windows ( yes I want title bar to fit in under my transparent dock/panel )
  - clickable through ? Or at least spacers should not block ability to click what's under the dock, only visible applets should.

  …well « clickable-through » mode would not be needed is there was a
  way to precisely place panel-as-a-dock without using spacers…
