Feature #176
Subtle does not honor 'Always on Top' set by the client
0%
Description
Hello,
I set the Stick and Float properties to true for the VLC client, the VLC is also configured to be Always on Top, and I have this code in my subtle.rb
grab 'A-Tab' do
clients = Subtlext::View.current.clients
selected = clients.select { |c| c.has_focus? }.first
index = clients.index(selected)
index += 1
index = 0 if index > clients.size - 1
clients[index].focus
end
Which helps me toggle client focus, however when I change the focus of the client given that VLC and another client are on the same view, the VLC windows goes behind the one that has focus now..

Yep, subtle currently ignores that. I will add it tomorrow.

Hm, VLC menus don't work for me. Can you set VLC to the 'Always on Top' mode and post the output of xprop for the VLC window?

I think it's the property:
_NET_WM_STATE(ATOM) = _NET_WM_STATE_ABOVE

Nope, that is the state subtle sets to the window when you enable floating mode. A client mustn't set _NET_WM_STATE itself. I will check why I get no menus in VLC then.

Hey Christoph
I didn't understand which menus you mean ? the File, Edit etc.. menus ? If that's the case and they are not showing up, try resetting VLC settings
$ killall vlc && mv ~/.config/vlc{,-old}
It should bring the menus back, if for some reason they are still not showing up, it might means that VLC was compile without WxGTK support

Since r2987 all floating windows stay on top and cannot be lowered under gravity windows anymore. I would say this issue is fixed.
