[feature request] fullscreen window at back of desktop z-index? #240

Closed arilotter closed 8 years ago

arilotter commented 9 years ago

Could support for gluing a window to the desktop background be added? I find myself wanting a terminal rather than an image. Allowing fullscreen windows to go under floating windows ( or a new type?? ) would work too, though.

Maybe this could be done with wmctrl if bspwm can be told to orphan a window?

baskerville commented 9 years ago

@EvanPurkhiser windows can already be unmanaged with the manage=off rule consequence.

@aerobit do you want the window to be focusable?

arilotter commented 9 years ago

Yeah, I'm looking for focusability without bringing it to the front. I tried using xdo lower but it won't put it permanently at the bottom.

arilotter commented 9 years ago

After some thought, this could be solved by implementing _NET_WM_STATE_{ABOVE,BELOW}, as requested in https://github.com/baskerville/bspwm/issues/233

The implementation would have to let ABOVE and BELOW apply to fullscreen windows too.

baskerville commented 8 years ago

It is now possible: just send the window in the below layer.
