Window not set as floating

[macxcool]

The iwgtk window is not set as a floating window, so on a tiling window manager it expands to fill the container instead of floating above it. Since this would seem to be meant to be a utility window, I think it should be floating above other windows by default.

To the best of my knowledge, this needs to be done through your i3/sway configuration. I'm not aware of any way to provide a "floating" hint through GTK.

OK. Yeah. I know how to do that in the wm config. I just though it could be done in gtk, but I'm not a gtk programmer, so... ;-) Thanks for responding.

I switched to IWD a long time ago and never looked back. Iwgtk is a nice little GUI. I appreciate the work done on it. -- Mark Sent with Tutanota, enjoy secure & ad-free emails.

sway users can use this for_window [app_id="iwgtk"] floating enable, resize set 1000 1000

I think this issue can be safely closed now.
