cinnamon keep window below


I'm running Mint 17 with cinnamon, I know you can "Always Top" a window, but I can't find a way to "Always Bottom" a window.

In fact, I'm running a fullscreen app (remote-viewer), but I wish all other applications never go behind.


Solution

  • I'm finally using devilspie and gdevilspie with a config like this:

    ( if 
    ( begin 
    ( contains ( window_name ) "something_in_windows_name" )
    ) 
    ( begin 
    ( fullscreen )
    ( below )
    ( println "match" )
    )
    )
    

    it will set the windows with "something_in_windows_name" to fullscreen + force below any other (except the background with icons etc)
