Some utility windows still get tiled

Hey there! New user on Krohnkite. While I do like tiling of any other window, I’d like my utility windows to be float.

Unfortunately, some of them are still getting tiled. Especially if they’re coming from wine. (In comparison, i3 managed to find out that they’re not meant to be tiled.)

Of course I set “Float utility windows” in the Krohnkite Rules settings.

Are there any other measures I can take?

(I’m quite new to Krohnkite and KDE in general.)

Regarding Windows/Wine applications…their X11 class names always have a ‘.exe’ suffix. For example, Steam’s (Wine) class name is ‘Steam.exe’. Krohnkite already matches sub-strings, but it is limited to Window Titles. If we can match sub-strings in X11 class names, I believe most, if not all Wine applications would be caught and set to float.

As for Linux-native Steam…yeah all Steam windows share the same class. You can try floating that Steam window with the Window Title instead. Place the ‘Steam - News’ string in the comma-separated list for Window Titles. Remove the quotes.

Just for future readers needing this workaround: I put steam (not uppercase Steam) in the “float by default” window class text box.

For now it seems like everythings is float by default, I just have to “un-float” the two main windows (library and chat).
