WM_NAME property should be the title is that window have any title? (check the status bar) yes, GREG is also the title in the status bar. I thought that: { NULL, NULL, GREG, 0,True }, would be the proper way to make it float, but this does not work.

My only thought is that the XGetClassHint in applyrules is failing and so the rules are never applied try this (untested) patch... Jeremy On Mon 16 Feb 2009 - 12:58PM, Adam wrote: hello. I have a program which opens a graphics display window which I would like to always be floating.

[dwm] dmenu - how to autoconfirm selection in case of exact match?

2009-02-16 Thread michael_der gulliUser
Hi everybody, I've already read the manpage and the archives of this mailing list. However, unfortunately I could not find a patch / a way to tell dmenu to automatically confirm a selection and execute the command, if a menu item and the text I've entered match exactly. But it seems to me as if

Another option, if you don't want to patch, is to add those letters to dmenu input (with simples echoes in dmenu_path, or even processing an aliases file). Personally, I don't use dmenu_path, I just have a list with no more than 10 items so I can launch everything with only one or two letters.
