   I’ve developed a new approach in the ggalign package for plot alignment that can handle different strip placements, as demonstrated below:

   library(ggalign)
   p0 <- ggplot(mpg, aes(displ, hwy)) +
     geom_point() +
     facet_wrap(~"foo", strip.position = "bottom") +
     theme(strip.placement = "inside", strip.text = element_text(size = 20))
   p1 <- p0 + theme(strip.placement = "outside")
   alignpatches(p0, p1)

   

   I apologize that it is not feasible to integrate this directly into the patchwork package, as it would require significant refactoring of existing code—something that was previously declined in issue #379
