This is also another neat feature of i3 which is easy to implement:
dialogs (which are floated) get a titlebar by default.
I usually never used titlebars, but it's true that when working with
floated windows they provide a nice overlapping indicator.
I have the following in my awesomerc (from 3.4/debian sid):
-- {{{ Rules
function add_titlebar(c)
awful.titlebar.add(c, { modkey = modkey, height =
awesome.font_height })
end
awful.rules.rules = {
...
{ rule = { ... }, callback = add_titlebar },
...
}
-- }}}
-- {{{ Signals
-- Signal function to execute when a new client appears.
client.add_signal("manage", function (c, startup)
-- Add a titlebar to floating windows
if awful.client.floating.get(c) and (c.type == "normal" or c.type
== "dialog") then
add_titlebar(c)
end
...
Floating windows and windows with the specified rules get a titlebar.
It would be even nicer though if floating/unfloating a window in a tile
would also handle (hide/show) the titlebar properly: if I don't have an
explicit rule, and I'm forcing a window to tile, then hide the titlebar.
Shouldn't be too hard to implement, but I didn't have the time so far.
I'm posting this because it seems that titlebar are getting some
revamping in git, so it may interest somebody.
