Issues with some programs

Open jcelsi opened this issue 2 years ago • 6 comments

GlazeWM doesn't seem to affect certain programs like VS Code, WhatsApp for windows and the new Windows Terminal. How can I fix that?

Do you have any window rules in your config? Personally using VSCode + Windows Terminal, and haven't experienced anything weird with them

Well, I don't know how you installed them, but there are two cases where the WM will likely not manage the window: when a program is run as Admin, and if you're using a UWP/Metro app (i.e. apps installed from the Microsoft Store, etc.). Otherwise, Code is managed correctly for me, so I would suggest making sure that it's not being run as Admin, same for WinTerm. Are you running GWM as Admin? That could screw up some things.

I have the same problem with WhatsApp. How can I make the WM detect apps like that? it's really annoying

so the problem with WhatsApp is that it's from the Microsoft Store? Is there a workaround to have tiling working for those apps?

UWP Apps (like WhatsApp for Windows) are managed by GlazeWM, now. image

And how would you filter this?

  - command: "move to workspace 2"
    match_process_name: "/WhatsApp/" # does not work

I tried window name as well.

EDIT: Actually it works when reloading after starting WhatsApp :/
