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.
For layout-specific rules, see the specific layout page. For example: Master Layout->Workspace Rules
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.
workspace=name:myworkspace,gapsin:0,gapsout:0
workspace=3,rounding:false,bordersize:0
| 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 |
workspace = 3, rounding:false, decorate:false

workspace = name:Hello, monitor:DP-1, default:true
