Hi, Thanks for this suggestion. As it turned out, the app I want to use has unfriendly behaviour even with XMonad.Layout.SimplestFloat and I think that I will need to use this solution. Best regards, Alain On 12/06/2023 09:34, Platon Pronko wrote:

Hello,
I have a program which doesn't work nicely with xmonad because of the apparition of popup windows, supposed to be small but who take suddenly half the size of the screen.
Is there a layout for xmonad which would (un)manages windows just like, say Openbox ?
I use myManageHook for floating or ignoring such popup windows. This way you can keep your usual layout and only add some special cases for misbehaving windows.
Something like this:
myManageHook :: ManageHook myManageHook = composeAll [ fmap (isInfixOf "Gnuplot") title --> doFloat , className =? "Xfce4-panel" --> doIgnore , className =? "Yad" --> doFloat , isInProperty "_NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE" "_NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_TOOLBAR" --> doIgnore -- fix for libreoffice dialogs , isInProperty "_NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE" "_NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_SPLASH" --> doIgnore -- splash screens , isFullscreen --> doFullFloat , isDialog --> doFloat , role =? "pop-up" --> doFloat ]
(you can check the window properties using xprop utility)
