[solved] openbox layers

skale · 2007-02-27 23:14:46

Always when I open ROX-Filer, it gets automatically put on the background layer, so I cannot access it without minimizing all the other windows, or changing the layer manually. This becomes especially annoying with error messages, where I might not even notice that they are there. How do you make it so that ROX will always keep its stuff in the 'normal' layer?

You can put something along the lines of

  <application class="rox">
    <layer>normal</layer>
  </application>

in the applications-section of your rc.xml. You need to find the actual classname out on your own since I don't have rox installed to check it. IIRC you can also match by window name.

To discover the class of a window, run xprop in a terminal and click on any window. The class will be in the gobs of output you get.
