Hi Kelly,
I have something similar in my rc.lua for gimp (from times without
one-window-mode). Credit goes to someone
on this list -- unfortunately I do not remember where I copied it from.
This should be adaptable to your situation:
,----
| { rule = { class = "Gimp", role = "gimp-dock" },
| properties = { tag = tags[1][6], floating = true, size_hints_honor =
false },
| callback = function( c )
| -- local s = c.screen
| local s = 1
| local workarea = screen[s].workarea
| local strutwidth = 212
|
| c:struts( { right = strutwidth })
|
| c:geometry( { x = workarea.width-strutwidth, width =
strutwidth,
| y = workarea.y, height = workarea.height } )
| end },
`----
Best,
Andreas
