Yabai unable to manage Windows apps installed using whiskey

[JustinBacher]

I've began delving into MacOS gaming and saw that Whiskey would be a good avenue, the apps are working fine although for some reason Yabai doesn't seem to be able to manage the virtualized windows apps.

Issue replication steps:

1. Install Whisky
   • brew install --cask whisky
2. Install steam using Whisky
   • I used this tutorial: https://youtu.be/8KeES5llh9I?t=115&si=Bu2ItF2hZ0ulw_Xg
3. Run Steam

When steam is running, it is not auto tiled nor can I use my shortcuts to force it off floating or send it to another space, etc...

System setup (I hope this is enough to help):

• MacOS Sonoma on an M3 Chipset

• System integrity disabled and SIP loaded/installed

  • Output of csrutil status

    
    Kext Signing: enabled
    Filesystem Protections: disabled
    Debugging Restrictions: disabled
    DTrace Restrictions: enabled
    NVRAM Protections: disabled
    BaseSystem Verification: enabled
    Boot-arg Restrictions: disabled
    Kernel Integrity Protections: enabled
    Authenticated Root Requirement: enabled```

• yabai + skhd

• Mission Control:

  • Top 3 options disabled

Edit

After posting, I noticed I'm also having an issue where the window moves around when my mouse enters the steam window itself, I stopped yabai and it still is doing that, I couldn't event manually quit steam I actually needed to use:

pgrep -i wine | xargs kill

Once I did that the problem seems to have gone away.
