For example, I have the following line in my `i3` configuration file: for_window [class="Xfce4-notifyd"] floating enable When I manually send notifications to the daemon via `notify-send`, they appear in the upper right corner of the active workspace. However, certain applications (in my case, Amarok and Guayadeque) send notifications to the center of the workspace. This is inconvenient as the messages persist for a while unless clicked. I would like to uniformly have all floating windows of this class be moved to the upper right corner of the current workspace. Can this be done in the `i3` configuration file or is the problem somehow application-specific?Sat, 07 Jun 2014 20:20:53 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/3926/configure-floating-window-location/https://faq.i3wm.org/question/3926/configure-floating-window-location/?answer=3930#post-id-3930i3 does not manage system or application notifications. It is a more low level configuration specific to the notification program e.g. dunst, or the application GUI e.g. Gnome and KDE.

However, setting position only seems to work for the notifications that were originally in the center of the screen.Tue, 10 Jun 2014 05:52:56 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/3926/configure-floating-window-location/?comment=3941#comment-3941https://faq.i3wm.org/question/3926/configure-floating-window-location/?comment=3935#comment-3935The question is not specific to notification managers, though. Do you mean to say that it's not possible to send a particular floating window to a specific location?Mon, 09 Jun 2014 21:27:53 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/3926/configure-floating-window-location/?comment=3935#comment-3935
