Are you aware of the for_window directive?Fri, 14 Aug 2015 13:07:35 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/6446/kde-plasma-desktop-notifications/?comment=6447#comment-6447Answer by ssamot for <p>Hello, </p> <p>I mostly have kubuntu working fine with i3, the only thing I cannot get to work properly are certain widgets (including notifications) that I am not sure how to tell i3 to treat them as floating by default. Anyone know a way around this? </p> https://faq.i3wm.org/question/6446/kde-plasma-desktop-notifications/?answer=6487#post-id-6487 I am answering my own question based on airblader's comment (thanks), just in case someone is interested in the future. the correct i3config for KDE looks something like this: for_window [class="Plasma-desktop"] border none for_window [class="Plasma-desktop"] floating enable for_window [class="krunner"] border none for_window [class="Kmix"] floating enable for_window [class="Plasmoidviewer"] floating enable for_window [class="Klipper"] floating enable, border none You can also do this to start-stop plasma-desktop: bindsym $mod+o exec plasma-desktop bindsym $mod+p exec "killall plasma-desktop" When plasma-desktop starts, a small background window will also start which you have to quit manually.

Unless there is a new criterion after the `;` the command there will be applied to the currently focused window, which might not be the newly created window.Sun, 23 Aug 2015 20:21:27 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/6446/kde-plasma-desktop-notifications/?comment=6494#comment-6494
