1 Remove application defaults from config.h

3 The rules array is initialized, by default, to treat windows of class `G…
4 and `Firefox` in a special way. If, like me, you don't want any applicat…
5 be treated in a special way, you must be careful when editing the rules …
6 initialization code.

8 The original code describes what each value represents within the Rule
9 structure.

12 /* class instance title tags mask isfl…
13 { "Gimp", NULL, NULL, 0, True…
14 { "Firefox", NULL, NULL, 1 << 8, True…
15 };
16
17 For instance, Gimp and Firefox will be labeled as floating windows, even…
18 layout selected is Monocle or Tiled. In particular, the tag mask will at…
19 Firefox to tag '9'.

21 If we don't want any window class to be treated in a special way, we nee…
22 initialize rules with at least one element:

24 static Rule rules[] = {
25 /* class instance title tags mask isfl…
26 { NULL, NULL, NULL, 0, Fals…
27 };
28
29 The code in dwm.c will check that the `class` element is not NULL before…
30 matching is done.
31
32 /* rule matching */
33 XGetClassHint(dpy, c->win, &ch);
34 for(i = 0; i < LENGTH(rules); i++) {
35 r = &rules[i];
36 if((!r->title || strstr(c->name, r->title))
37 && (!r->class || (ch.res_class && strstr…
38 && (!r->instance || (ch.res_name && strs…
39 c->isfloating = r->isfloating;
40 c->tags |= r->tags & TAGMASK;
41 }
42 }

44 This code assumes the rules array has at least one element, and that the…
45 rule that does not match will apply to all window classes. Therefore, th…
46 we just made, is the default rule for all new windows and therefore it is
47 important you set the `tags mask` and `isfloating` elements correctly.
