### Syntax ### Syntax
Basic named rule syntax:
```ini ```ini
windowrule=RULE,PARAMETERS windowrule {
name = apply-something
match:class = my-window
border_size = 10
}
``` ```
- `RULE` is a [rule](#rules) (and a param if applicable) Basic anonymous rule syntax:
- `PARAMETERS` is a comma-separated list of various window attributes you can match by. See the fields further down.
Example rule:
```ini ```ini
windowrule = float, class:kitty, title:kitty windowrule = match:class my-window, border_size 10
``` ```
Several rules can be specified in a single line, separated by commas. But have to be followed by at least one parameter. Rules are split into two categories of parameters: _props_ and _effects_. Props
are the `match:` parts, which are used to determine if a window should get the
rule. Effects are what is applied.
Example: _All_ props must match for a rule to be applied.
```ini
windowrule = float, pin, size 400 400, move 0 0, class:kitty, initialTitle:kitty
```
Where float pin size and move are `RULES` and class and initialTitle are `PARAMETERS`.
> [!NOTE] You can have as many props and effects per rule as you please, in any order as you please, as long as:
> In the case of dynamic window titles such as browser windows, keep in mind how - there is only one of one type (e.g. specifying `match:class` twice is invalid)
> powerful RegEx is. - there is at least one _prop_
>
> For example, a window rule of:
> `windowrule = opacity 0.3 override 0.3 override,title:(.*)(- Youtube)` will match
> _any_ window that contains a string of "- Youtube" after any other text. This
> could be multiple browser windows or other applications that contain the string
> for any reason.
>
> For the `windowrule = float,class:kitty,title:kitty` example, the
> `class:(kitty)` `WINDOW` field is what keeps the window rule specific to kitty
> terminals.

## Rules ## Effects
### Static rules ### Static effects
Static rules are evaluated once when the window is opened and never again. This essentially means that it is always the `initialTitle` and `initialClass` which will be found when matching on `title` and `class`, respectively. Static effects are evaluated once when the window is opened and never again. This essentially means that it is always the `initialTitle` and `initialClass` which will be found when matching on `title` and `class`, respectively.

| Rule | Description | | Effect | argument | Description |
| ---- | ----------- | | ---- | ----------- |
| float | Floats a window. | | float | \[on\] | Floats a window. |
| tile | Tiles a window. | | tile | \[on\] |Tiles a window. |
| fullscreen | Fullscreens a window. | | fullscreen | \[on\] | Fullscreens a window. |
| maximize | Maximizes a window. | | maximize | \[on\] | Maximizes a window. |
| persistentsize | Allows size persistence between application launches for floating windows. | | fullscreen_state | \[internal\] \[client\] | Sets the focused window's fullscreen mode and the one sent to the client, where internal and client can be `0` - none, `1` - maximize, `2` - fullscreen, `3` - maximize and fullscreen. |
| fullscreenstate \[internal\] \[client\] | Sets the focused window's fullscreen mode and the one sent to the client, where internal and client can be `0` - none, `1` - maximize, `2` - fullscreen, `3` - maximize and fullscreen. | | move | \[expr\] \[expr\] | Moves a floating window to a given coordinate, monitor-local. Two expressions are space-separated. |
| move \[x\] \[y\] | Moves a floating window (`x, y` -> int or %, e.g. `100` or `20%`.<br>You are also allowed to do `100%-` for the right/bottom anchor, e.g. `100%-20`. In addition, the option supports the subtraction of the window's size with `100%-w-`, e.g. `100%-w-20`. This results in a gap at the right/bottom edge of the screen to the window with the defined subtracted size). <br> Additionally, you can also do `cursor [x] [y]` where x and y are either pixels or percent. Percent is calculated from the window's size. Specify `onscreen` before other parameters to force the window into the screen (e.g. `move onscreen cursor 50% 50%`) | | size | \[expr\] \[expr\] | Resizes a floating window to a given size. Two expressions are space-separated. |
| size \[w\] \[h\] | Resizes a floating window (`w, h` -> int or %, e.g. `1280, 720` or `50%, 50%`.<br>`<` and `>` may also be prefixed in conjunction, to specify respectively the maximum or minimum allowed size. (e.g. `<1280` or `<40%` -> maximum size, `>300` or `>10%` -> minimum size).<br>Note that int values in pixels will be scaled by your monitor's scaling factor. | | pseudo | \[on\] | Pseudotiles a window. |
| center (\[opt\]) | If the window is floating, will center it on the monitor. Set opt to `1` to respect monitor reserved area. | | monitor | \[id\] | Sets the monitor on which a window should open. `id` can be either the id number or the name (e.g. `1` or `DP-1`). |
| pseudo | Pseudotiles a window. | | workspace | \[w\] | Sets the workspace on which a window should open (for workspace syntax, see [dispatchers->workspaces](../Dispatchers#workspaces)). <br> You can also set \[w\] to `unset`. This will unset all previous workspace rules applied to this window. Additionally you can add `silent` after the workspace to make the window open silently. |
| monitor \[id\] | Sets the monitor on which a window should open. `id` can be either the id number or the name (e.g. `1` or `DP-1`). | | no_initial_focus | \[on\] | Disables the initial focus to the window |
| workspace \[w\] | Sets the workspace on which a window should open (for workspace syntax, see [dispatchers->workspaces](../Dispatchers#workspaces)). <br> You can also set \[w\] to `unset`. This will unset all previous workspace rules applied to this window. Additionally you can add `silent` after the workspace to make the window open silently. | | pin | \[on\] | Pins the window (i.e. show it on all workspaces). _Note: floating only_. |
| noinitialfocus | Disables the initial focus to the window | | group | \[options\] | Sets window group properties. See the note below. |
| pin | Pins the window (i.e. show it on all workspaces). _Note: floating only_. | | suppress_event | \[types...\] | Ignores specific events from the window. Events are space separated, and can be: `fullscreen`, `maximize`, `activate`, `activatefocus`, `fullscreenoutput`. |
| unset \[rule\] | Unset rules for the matching `PARAMETERS` (exact match required) or a specific `RULE`. No rule defaults to `all`. | | content | \[none\|photo\|video\|game\] | Sets content type. |
| nomaxsize | Removes max size limitations. Especially useful with windows that report invalid max sizes (e.g. winecfg). | | no_close_for | \[ms\] | Makes the window uncloseable with the `killactive` dispatcher for a given amount of ms on open. |
| stayfocused | Forces focus on the window as long as it's visible. |
| group \[options\] | Sets window group properties. See the note below. |
| suppressevent \[types...\] | Ignores specific events from the window. Events are space separated, and can be: `fullscreen`, `maximize`, `activate`, `activatefocus`, `fullscreenoutput`. |
| content \[none\|photo\|video\|game\] | Sets content type. |
| noclosefor \[ms\] | Makes the window uncloseable with the `killactive` dispatcher for a given amount of ms on open. |
### Dynamic rules #### Expressions
Dynamic rules are re-evaluated every time a property changes. Expressions are space-separated, so your math cannot have spaces. They are regular, math expressions, with a few variables exposed,
names of which are self-explanatory. All position variables are monitor-local.
| Rule | Description | - `monitor_w` and `monitor_h` for monitor size
- `window_x` and `window_y` for window position
- `window_w` and `window_h` for window size
- `cursor_x` and `cursor_y` for cursor position
Example expressions:
- `window_w*0.5`
- `(monitor_w/2)+17`
It's probably a good idea to surround your expressions with parentheses for clarity, with space-separation:
- `(monitor_w*0.5) (monitor_h*0.5)`
- `((monitor_w*0.5)+17) (monitor_h*0.2)`

### Dynamically enabling / disabling / changing rules
Only named rules can be dynamically changed, enabled or disabled. Anonymous rules cannot be.
For enabling or disabling, the keyword `enable` is exposed:
```sh
hyprctl keyword 'windowrule[my-rule-name]:enable false'
```
For changing properties, the same syntax can be used:
```sh
hyprctl keyword 'windowrule[my-rule-name]:match:class kitty'
```
_the singlequotes are necessary, otherwise your shell might try to parse the string_

app launchers, status bars, or wallpapers. app launchers, status bars, or wallpapers.
Those have specific rules, separate from windows: Those have specific rules, separate from windows. Their syntax is the exact same,
but they have different props and effects.
```ini ### Props
layerrule = rule, namespace
# or
layerrule = rule, address
```
where `rule` is the rule and `namespace` is the namespace RegEx (find | Field | Argument | Description |
namespaces in `hyprctl layers`) or `address` is an address in the form of | -------------- | --------------- |
`address:0x[hex]`. | match:namespace | \[RegEx\] | namespace of the layer, check `hyprctl layers`. |
### Rules ### Effects
| rule | description | | effect | argument | description |
| ---- | ----------- | | ---- | ----------- |
| unset | Removes all layerRules previously set for a select namespace RegEx. Please note it has to match _exactly_. | | no_anim | \[on\] | Disables animations. |
| noanim | Disables animations. | | blur | \[on\] | Enables blur for the layer. |
| blur | Enables blur for the layer. | | blur_popups | \[on\] | Enables blur for the popups. |
| blurpopups | Enables blur for the popups. | | ignore_alpha | \[a\] | Makes blur ignore pixels with opacity of `a` or lower. `a` is float value from `0` to `1`. `a = 0` if unspecified. |
| ignorealpha \[a\] | Makes blur ignore pixels with opacity of `a` or lower. `a` is float value from `0` to `1`. `a = 0` if unspecified. | | dim_around | \[on\] | Dims everything behind the layer. |
| ignorezero | Makes blur ignore fully transparent pixels. Same as `ignorealpha 0`. | | xray | \[on\] | Sets the blur xray mode for a layer. `0` for off, `1` for on, `unset` for default. |
| dimaround | Dims everything behind the layer. | | animation | \[style\] | Allows you to set a specific animation style for this layer. |
| xray \[on\] | Sets the blur xray mode for a layer. `0` for off, `1` for on, `unset` for default. | | order | \[n\] | Sets the order relative to other layers. A higher `n` means closer to the edge of the monitor. Can be negative. `n = 0` if unspecified. |
| animation \[style\] | Allows you to set a specific animation style for this layer. | | abovelock | \[0/1/2\] | If non-zero, renders the layer above the lockscreen when the session is locked. If set to `2`, you can interact with the layer on the lockscreen, otherwise it will only be rendered above it. |
| order \[n\] | Sets the order relative to other layers. A higher `n` means closer to the edge of the monitor. Can be negative. `n = 0` if unspecified. | | noscreenshare | \[on\] | Hides the layer from screen sharing by drawing a black rectangle over it. |
| abovelock \[interactable\] | Renders the layer above the lockscreen when the session is locked. If set to `true`, you can interact with the layer on the lockscreen, otherwise it will only be rendered above it. |
| noscreenshare \[on\] | Hides the layer from screen sharing by drawing a black rectangle over it. |
