Workspace Rules

You can set workspace rules to achieve workspace-specific behaviors. For instance, you can define a workspace where all windows are drawn without borders or gaps.

Syntax

workspace=WORKSPACE,RULES
  • WORKSPACE is a valid workspace identifier (see Dispatchers->Workspaces). This field is mandatory;
  • RULES is one (or more) rule(s) as described here in rules.

Examples

workspace=name:myworkspace,gapsin:0,gapsout:0
workspace=DP-1,3,rounding:false,bordersize:0

Rules

Rule Description type
monitor:[m] Binds a workspace to a monitor See syntax and Monitors. string
default:[b] Whether this workspace should be the default workspace for the given monitor bool
gapsin:[x] Set the gaps between windows (equivalent to General->gaps_in) int
gapsout:[x] Set the gaps between windows and monitor edges (equivalent to General->gaps_out) int
bordersize:[x] Set the border size around windows (equivalent to General->border_size) int
border:[b] Whether to draw borders or not bool
shadow:[b] Whether to draw shadows or not bool
rounding:[b] Whether to draw rounded windows or not bool
decorate:[b] Whether to draw window decorations or not bool
persistent:[b] Keep this workspace alive even if empty and inactive bool
on-created-empty:[c] A command to be executed once a workspace is created empty (i.e. not created by moving a window to it). See the command syntax string

Example Rules

workspace = 3, rounding:false, decorate:false
workspace = name:coding, rounding:false, decorate:false, gapsin:0, gapsout:0, border:false, decorate:false, monitor:DP-1
workspace = 8,bordersize:8
workspace = name:Hello, monitor:DP-1, default:true
workspace = 5, on-created-empty:[float] firefox
workspace = special:scratchpad, on-created-empty:foot
