Chatty is a java application to chat in Twitch (streaming platform) from the desktop.
What I'm trying to accomplish is that Chatty always starts with specifics X, Y, width and height properties.
{ rule = { class = "chatty-Chatty" },
properties = {
width = 267,
height = 223,
x = 1575,
y = 774
},
},
The X and Y properties work just fine, wherever I move the window if I closed and open it again it appears in my desired position. However for some reason I fail to acknowledge Chatty doesn't care about the width and height properties, it always opens with the last geometry.
Chatty itself have a config file but there isn't anything related to width and height dimensions.
I'm on Arch, and the only WM I have is Awesome.
PD: One weird thing is that every time I'm changing the window size it also moves, always in a bottom right direction. This is annoying but not a problem, I'm mentioning this just in case it is related to the possible issue.
This is probably because they client resize itself after the rules are executed (which would be a bug in your app or Java). In any case, you can do:
client.disconnect_signal("request::geometry", awful.ewmh.client_geometry_requests)
to turn off the client ability to resize themselves.
In AwesomeWM git-master version, you can use the permission API to deny the "client" -> "geometry" -> "ewmh" permission per client.
