Hi there,

Wondering if anybody else has ran into this issue before and came up with a solution. Most of the time* when I click the expander in the system tray, the overflow window spawns on the top left corner of my window. Strangely, when I click on a system tray icon such as volume, its window spawns on the very top right corner.

*Sometimes, and I mean very rarely, it appears in the default/correct place, as if Glaze isn't running.

Click expander:

The overflow notifications window appears in the top left corner:

Here's the class hierarchy in Spy++:

I've tried setting these to be ignored in my config (with various attempts) but nothing changes.

I'm thinking this might not even be detected by Glaze since I don't see any messages when I run the app in the terminal when I open the overflow notifications window.

Environment

Windows 10 Pro 22H2 19045.3803
GlazeWM version 2.0.3

Here's my current config:


general:
# Whether to automatically focus windows underneath the cursor.
focus_follows_cursor: false

# Whether to jump the cursor between windows focused by the WM.
cursor_follow_focus: false

# Whether to switch back and forth between the previously focused workspace
# when focusing the current workspace.
toggle_workspace_on_refocus: true

# Whether to show floating windows as always on top.
show_floating_on_top: false

# Amount to move floating windows by (eg. when using `alt+<hjkl>` on a floating window)
floating_window_move_amount: "5%"

# Whether to center new floating windows.
center_new_floating_windows: false

# *Strongly* recommended to set to 'false'. Whether to globally enable/disable
# window transition animations (on minimize, close, etc). Set to 'unchanged'
# to make no setting changes.
window_animations: "unchanged"

gaps:

Gap between adjacent windows.

Gap between windows and the screen edge.

Should match padding of bar components.

outer_gap: "0 10px 0 10px"

Highlight active/inactive windows with a colored border.
