Hi Kevin, On the bottom of manage.c you also need to increase the number of atoms that i3 lists as supported. Also make sure you added the new atom not at the very end of atoms.xmacro as not all of them are copied into the supported list and GLFW seems to actually check for support.
If all of this is correct, it could only be that GLFW only sets the atom after the window is created. In this case you'd have to modify the handler.
