Provide a description of the new feature / enhancement

I was hoping FancyZones had the ability to create overlapping zones. I see via the following request, this does exist to some degree, but it only allows to zones to become one. #6744

I'm wanting the ability to overlap multiple zones. Consider a 3x2 layout, with varying sized of small zones with one large one spanning portions of all of them in the center.

I like to keep certain apps in their specific small zones, but I'd like to make my web browser or other priority apps to take up considerable amount of screen realstate on my large 4k monitor.

See attached graphic for an example. The editor window would be the placement of my desired overlapped zone.

This already exist, you need to choose "Canvas" instead of Grid when creating a new layout.

@mcdonamw does canvas layout style not work for you?

I had the same issue as microsoft/PowerToys#11552 -- I ctrl+F for "overlap" and didn't think that FancyZones supported it.
Add a small breadcrumb so future readers know to use canvas model.
