These aren’t valid rules. Specify the class, title, or instance to be matched then the rule setting.

Sounds great. I’m gonna test out all the crash fixes as well as the new status stuff more in depth now.

I’ve still had the compile errors on gentoo but have got it fixed now. Please see the diff in my dk/gentoo branch I created earlier on Bitbucket to be able to triag it. I can send you a PR but it would probably be easier for you to just change the one line on your end.

Ok. Thanks.
I will figure it out…, eventually!

No crashes so far after using it pretty heavy!
All the new status types are running perfect except for layout.
dkcmd status type=layout num=1 works as expected
dkcmd status type=layout works as expected when changing layout of current workspace, but doesn’t when changing to a workspace that has a different layout
This rule will cause all instances of xfce4-terminal, including the drop-down, to float:
dkcmd rule class="^xfce4-terminal" stick=true float=true
The issue you have is that “xfce4-terminal” and “xfce4-terminal --drop-down” have the same name and class string. No way around that.
But that will give you xfce4-terminal --drop-down as floating for your scratchpad terminal, and you can use urxvt (or whatever your terminal of choice is) as your regular terminal.

I have tried so many combinations now that I am dizzy!
So many dkrc errors!!
But your suggestion worked!! (without class= title= instance= type= role= !?)
Thank you very very much!!
I will work on size and placement tomorrow!

Yeah this is the one WM that takes him a couple of weeks to configure, rather than configuring 14 WM’s in two weeks.

No, you did good. At least you found a memory bug in the code. None of us did the same although we have used dk longer than you do.

Pure newbie-luck.

Done and done, thanks for that. In truth ld flags are supposed to go after everything and I rearranged cause it was nicer compiler output, stupid.

This is very helpful and I can fix it easily.

Good deal man. I’m just trying to be the painter doing touch up at this point. Painting houses is my trade. Really like your spec house of a window manager.
Edit: I just do title work for oil and gas lawyers as the current day job because it pays the bills. Miss working with my hands.

I introduced this just last weekend with a supposed “fix”, turns out it just made things worse lol.
Hi again!
I am testing out dk in my way and with what I need and I have only come across one (1) thing.
Itś with Wine. (I am not saying it is a dk problem but with i3, qtile, bspwm, dwm, awesome I do not have this problem)
- I have a wine window open on ws=x and switch to ws=y and then switch back the wine window will be gone but my composing/arranging software still runs somewhere but I can not get it back.
Just a minor problem.

Hi again!
On bitbucket I have found “The script-folder”. Various scripts for dk-wm!
I am trying to set up the scratc.sh. It worked right away but I can´t get it to float!
I have tried:
dkcmd rule title="^st -c 'stfloat' -g 85x25+550+300" class="^st -c '$title'" stick=true float=true
dkcmd rule title="^st -T 'stfloat' -g 85x25+550+300" class="^st -c '$title'" stick=true float=true
dkcmd rule title="^st -c 'float-term' -g 85x25+550+300" class="^st -c '$title'" stick=true float=true
But I obviously don´t know what I am doing!
St does not seem to need a patch to make floating though!
womp
You made it complicated.
dkcmd rule class="^St$" float=true

That will make every instance of st float, I believe.
In the script, the scratchpad terminal is spawned with:
title="scratchpad"
st -c "$title"
@womp - the “-c” sets the class for the terminal, so try:
dkcmd rule class=scratchpad float=true
I used that command on my system and it worked.
If you want use a terminal other than st, read the terminal man page to see how the set the class (or instance, or title) for the terminal and substitute for the “st -c”
