KWin Rules: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 15:11, 23 November 2011

Overview

KWin allows the end-user to define rules to alter the behavior of applications. Even the applications which compose KDE.

For example, when an application is started, it can be forced to always run on Virtual Desktop #2. Or a defect in an application can be worked-around by using a rule to, say, always force the window on top of all others.

This page will define the different settings and the attributes. For the impatient folks, working examples will be listed. Whenever possible, screen shots will be used to show example settings.
