1042APPLICATIONS
1043------------
1044It is possible to force an application to always have the same dimensions,
1045position, and other settings when it is first launched. The easiest way to do
1046this is to use the `Remember...' submenu of the window menu, which can usually
1047be opened with a right click on the titlebar. More advanced features require
1048manually editing the ~/.fluxbox/apps file, where these settings are saved.
1049
1050The format of a section in the `apps' file is:
1051
1052....................................
1053[app] (Property='value') ... {count - optional}
1054 [Setting1] {value1}
1055 [Setting2] {value2}
1056 ...
1057[end]
1058....................................
1059
1060Property can be one of the following tags:
1061
1062o name - the name of the window (the first field of WM_CLASS)
1063o class - class of the window (the second field of WM_CLASS)
1064o title - title of the window (the WM_NAME property)
1065o role - role of the window (the WM_WINDOW_ROLE property)
1066
1067You can find out the value for these fields for a particular window by running
1068xprop(1). The window title should be used only as a last resort, since it often changes after the window opens. Each 'value' can be a string or a regular
1069expression. All values are case sensitive.
1070
1071You can specify multiple properties, which must ALL match for the settings to be
1072applied. If a count is supplied in curly brackets at the end of the app line,
1073then the entry will only match at most that many at any time (default is to
1074match all matching windows). Settings associated with an [app] line will not be
1075applied to transient windows. [transient] may be used instead to match them.
1076
1077...................................................................
1078# match a standard xterm
1079[app] (name=xterm)
1080# match an xterm started like: xterm -name myshell
1081[app] (name=myshell)
1082# match the gaim buddy list window
1083[app] (role=buddy_list)
1084# match an rdesktop window to a particular host
1085[app] (title=rdesktop - hostname.*)
1086# match pidgin IRC windows
1087[app] (pidgin) (title=#.*)
1088...................................................................
1089
1090The following are the settings that can be defined in each [app] entry. Each
1091name must be enclosed in square brackets, and the value is generally in curly
1092brackets:
1093
1094- [Workspace] \{0-N\}:
1095 Forces the application to open on the workspace specified. Workspaces are
1096 set by number, beginning with 0.
1097
1098- [Dimensions] \{Width Height\}:
1099 Open the application with the specified width and height, in pixels.
1100
1101- [Position] (*refspot*) {X Y}:
1102 Position the application at a particular spot:
1103 +
1104 * TOPLEFT
1105 * TOP
1106 * TOPRIGHT
1107 * LEFT
1108 * CENTER
1109 * RIGHT
1110 * BOTTOMLEFT
1111 * BOTTOM
1112 * BOTTOMRIGHT
1113 +
1114
1115 You can optionally specify what X and Y are relative to. By default the
1116 upper left corner is placed at screen coordinates (X, Y). If you specify a
1117 reference point, say LOWERRIGHT, then the lower right corner of the window
1118 is positioned (X,Y) pixels from the lower right of the screen.
1119
1120- [Layer] {Layernum}:
1121 Specify the layer to open the window on (by number). Each layer has a
1122 number. The named ones are: 2-AboveDock, 4-Dock, 6-Top, 8-Normal,
1123 10-Bottom, 12-Desktop.
1124
1125- [Shaded] {yes|no}:
1126 The window is started shaded, or not.
1127
1128- [Tab] {yes|no}:
1129 Whether this window can be tabbed with others.
1130
1131- [IconHidden] {yes|no}:
1132 Hides the app from the icon bar
1133
1134- [FocusHidden] {yes|no}:
1135 Hides the app from the window cycling list used by Next/PrevWindow key
1136 bindings.
1137
1138- [Hidden] {yes|no}:
1139 is both [IconHidden] plus [FocusHidden]
1140
1141- [Deco] {NONE|NORMAL|TOOL|TINY|BORDER}:
1142 Specify the decoration state. There are several predefined dec-
1143 oration sets:
1144
1145 o NORMAL - standard decorations
1146 o NONE - no decorations
1147 o BORDER - like NONE except keep the X window border
1148 o TINY - titlebar with an iconify button
1149 o TOOL - titlebar only
1150
1151 A bitmask can also be used for fine-grained control. The bits are (from
1152 "1" to 1<<10): titlebar, handle/grips, border, iconify button, maximize
1153 button, close button, menu enabled, sticky button, shade button, tabbing
1154 enabled, focus enabled.
1155
1156- [Sticky] {yes|no}:
1157 Whether the window is initially stuck or not.
1158
1159- [Jump] {yes|no}:
1160 Jump to workspace. This one is only useful if `Workspace' is set too. The
1161 workspace is changed to the workspace containing the application being
1162 launched.
1163
1164- [Close] {yes|no}:
1165 Save settings on close. By default, application settings are not saved
1166 when a window is closed. Set this option if you want previous settings to
1167 be saved when the window is closed.
1168
1169- [Alpha] {int [int]}
1170 Where numbers represent focused and unfocused transparency,
1171 respectively. One number only will be used for both.
1172
1173The apps file also allows you to specify applications that should be started
1174on fluxbox startup using [startup] (options) {command} lines. Currently, the
1175only valid option is (screen=NN), where NN is the screen number on which the
1176command should be run.
1177
1178Finally, you can set windows to group together by using the `apps' file. Just
1179place a [group] tag around several [app] tags, with an [end] tag to indicate the
1180end of the group. If you place (workspace) after the [group] tag, a new window
1181will only get grouped with other windows on the current workspace. You can also
1182specify dimensions, positions, etc. for the group as for normal app entries.
1183Here is a short example of an `apps' file:
1184
1185.........................................................
1186 [startup] {xterm}
1187 # match anything ending with term, up to 2 instances
1188 [app] (name=.*[tT]erm) {2}
1189 [Workspace] {1}
1190 [end]
1191 [app] (name=kate)
1192 [Dimensions] {1022 747}
1193 [Position] (WINCENTER) {0 0}
1194 [Close] {yes}
1195 [end]
1196 [app] (name=konqueror)
1197 [Workspace] {1}
1198 [Dimensions] {1006 749}
1199 [Position] {16 0}
1200 [Jump] {yes}
1201 [end]
1202 # start all aterms without decorations
1203 [app] (name=aterm)
1204 [Deco] {NONE}
1205 [end]
1206 # a group with the gimp dock and toolbox
1207 # appears on layer 4 (bottom)
1208 [group]
1209 [app] (name=gimp) (role=gimp-dock)
1210 [app] (name=gimp) (role=gimp-toolbox)
1211 [Layer] {4}
1212 [end]
