Looking at the user guide, I can only find ways to resize in an incremental fashion. Is it possible to directly set the size of a floating window?Thu, 21 Feb 2013 02:34:33 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/1240/set-fixed-size-to-floating-window/https://faq.i3wm.org/question/1240/set-fixed-size-to-floating-window/?answer=1249#post-id-1249How about assigning it to a dedicated [ VM ] workspace possible example: <pre>assign [class="VMWare"] [ VM ]</pre> where [ VM ] is a possible workspace name. Replace with 1-10 or however your workspaces are configuredThu, 21 Feb 2013 21:54:21 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/1240/set-fixed-size-to-floating-window/?answer=1249#post-id-1249https://faq.i3wm.org/question/1240/set-fixed-size-to-floating-window/?answer=1247#post-id-1247No, not without a third-party script. Usual disclaimer: If you are using floating windows for anything that is not a password pop-up dialog or similar, you are not using i3 as intended.Thu, 21 Feb 2013 19:09:57 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/1240/set-fixed-size-to-floating-window/?answer=1247#post-id-1247https://faq.i3wm.org/question/1240/set-fixed-size-to-floating-window/?comment=1250#comment-1250Yes I agree. And after I thought it for a while, I decided that I should not try hard and adapt to the VM guest but adapt the VM guest to my windows and workspaces.Fri, 22 Feb 2013 05:06:49 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/1240/set-fixed-size-to-floating-window/?comment=1250#comment-1250
