06:38 <Zish1805> hello there, I really love riverwm, thanks so much

11:01 <novakane> new wlroots release \o/

11:47 <Anderson-D> novakane: re: floating windows, I see. Is it something not implemented yet? It makes it tedious to always toggle floating state for some windows on every startup

11:48 <Anderson-D> I'm still getting familiar with the way wayland works, so I'm just wondering if this will be considered at some point in river or if some external tools should handle this

11:49 <Anderson-D> From my point of view as a user, it would make a lot of sense to allow layout generators to push dimensions or floating states for floating windows

11:50 <Anderson-D> Use cases include moving floating windows around on creation (e. g. Google Meet sharing indicator in Firefox, XWayland windows, various popups etc)

11:50 <Anderson-D> Or some way for a layout generator to tell river "hey, this window must not float"

11:51 <Anderson-D> Or even adding something like `unfloat-filter-add`/`unfloat-filter-remove`

11:51 <Anderson-D> I'm mostly thinking aloud here

11:53 <Anderson-D> I think the last option would be most unobtrusive

11:58 <novakane> Anderson-D: maybe this is something that could be done in the future river window management protocol, but for now I don't think this is something planned

11:59 <novakane> IMO this is more a problem of client not making windows tiled at start, for whatever reason

12:27 <ifreund> Anderson-D, novakane: river uses some simple heuristics to guess which windows are "popup" style windows and should float by default. These aren't perfect but work pretty well in general

12:28 <ifreund> the way firefox creates the sharing indicator makes no sense, it should use layer shell or something instead of an xdg toplevel, not much we can do there

12:28 <ifreund> the heuristics for xwayland could probably be improved though if someone was interested

12:28 <ifreund> https://github.com/riverwm/river/blob/c3370afa3d3b8d7756217e1d4df882a172f73c35/river/XwaylandView.zig#L187-L202

12:29 <emersion> the sharing indicator should set a fixed size

12:29 <emersion> mark itself as unresizable

12:30 <emersion> (or just be completely removed tbh)

12:32 <ifreund> yeah, setting a fixed size would be the simplest improvement

12:32 <ifreund> I'd certainly +1 removal though

12:34 <novakane> well for me the only thing messed up is spotify, so not really too annoying to toggle the floating state

12:36 <novakane> but yeah this is not a river problem imo

16:44 <leon-p> the sharing indicator really annoys me. The widget really should be drawn by the desktop (or an external program) in a way that integrates better, while also supporting other programs which record things...

16:45 <emersion> agreed

19:02 <chipps_> hello there

19:03 <leon-p> o7

19:05 <ifreund> got the zig-wlroots 0.15.0 update mostly finished but I'm out of time for the day. Flying home for the holidays tomorrow so I'll be offline for a bit o7

19:27 <leon-p> have a nice time!

19:33 <novakane> Have a nice trip and holiday o7

19:36 <novakane> 2022 for river with full damage tracking then :P

20:25 <ifreund> thanks!
