#WindowRules

My latest attempt to use a KDE Window Rule to fix the borked :firefox_nightly: icon in the Wayland -session panel of my main machine's :archlinux: :kde: :plasma: ... yet another abject failure, damnit.

This identical rule works well in my :fedora: :kde: :plasma: Wayland VM; without the rule, the panel icon is borked, with the rule, the icon is good. I've no idea why it does not also work in my #ArchLinux #Plasma... & given i've been fighting this for months [it used to work fine without a rule] i am now pretty pissed off.

@firefoxnightly & @kde -- any suggestions please?

#ArchLinux #KDEPlasma #Wayland #FirefoxNightly #WindowRules #Wayland

The enabled fields of my rule comprise:

Window class (application)  --  Exact match  --  firefox-bin firefox-nightly

Match whole window class  --  Yes

Window types  --  All  selected 

Desktop file name  --  Apply initially  --  firefox-nightlyThe borked icon ie, merely the generic Wayland "W", instead of the pretty Nightly icon as per the custom emoji in my toot text.

@ku1ik I've been running all my foxes, & recent fork :floorp:​, as full-W for ages [maybe a year] via the #Wayland environmental variable prepended to the launch command [except :firefox_nightly:​, which has been full-W natively for yonks now]. However, last night i was thrilled to discover that in parallel with the #Firefox devs' progress, the wonderful #KDE devs' ongoing incremental changes to #Plasma 5.27.x have culminated now in finally all my foxy #PiP windowlets respecting my #WindowRules, such that at last they now play nice & stay on all desktops, & on top, purely via my rules, & no longer needing my manual intervention every single time. This is nice! 🎉​
