| move \[x\] \[y\] | moves a floating window (x,y -> int or %, e.g. 20% or 100. You are also allowed to do `100%-` for the right/bottom anchor, e.g. `100%-20`). 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%`) | |
| workspace \[w\] | sets the workspace on which a window should open (for workspace syntax, see [dispatchers->workspaces](../Dispatchers#workspaces)). You can also make \[w\] to `unset`, will unset all previous workspace rules applied to this window. You can also add `silent` after the workspace to make the window open silently. | |
| opacity \[a\] | additional opacity multiplier. Options for a: `float` -> sets an opacity OR `float float` -> sets activeopacity and inactiveopacity respectively. You can also add `override` after an opacity to make it override instead of a multiplier. (e.g. `1.0 override 0.5 override`) |✓|
| animation \[style\] (\[opt\]) | forces an animation onto a window, with a selected opt. Opt is optional. |✓|
| rounding \[x\] | forces the application to have X pixels of rounding, ignoring the set default (in `decoration:rounding`). Has to be an int. |✓|
| noshadow | disables shadows for the window |✓|
| forceinput | forces an XWayland window to receive input, even if it requests not to do so. (Might fix issues like e.g. Game Launchers not receiving focus for some reason) | |
| windowdance | forces an XWayland window to never refocus, used for games/applications like Rhythm Doctor | |
| bordercolor \[c\] | force the bordercolor of the window. Options for c: `color` -> sets the active border color OR `color color` -> sets the active and inactive border color of the window. See [variables->colors](../Variables#variable_types) for color definition. |✓|
| idleinhibit \[mode\] | sets an idle inhibit rule for the window. If active, apps like `swayidle` will not fire. Modes: `none`, `always`, `focus`, `fullscreen` | |
| unset | removes all previously set rules for the given parameters. Please note it has to match EXACTLY. | |
| dimaround | dims everything around the window . Please note this rule is meant for floating windows and using it on tiled ones may result in strange behavior. | ✓ |
| group \[options\] | set window group properties. See the note below. | |
{{<hinttype=info>}}
## `group` window rule options
-`set` \[`always`\] - Open window as a group.
-`new` - Shorthand of `barred set`.
-`lock` \[`always`\] - Lock the group that added this window. Use with `set` or `new` (i.e. `new lock`) to create a new locked group.
-`barred` - Do not add the window to the focused group. By default, a window with a `group set` rule will be added to an active group if possible.
-`deny` - Do not allow window to be toggled as or added to group (see `denywindowfromgroup` dispatcher).
-`invade` - Force open window in the locked group.
-`override` \[other options\] - Override other `group` rules, e.g. You can make all windows in a particular workspace open as a group, and use `group override barred` to make windows with specific titles open as normal windows.
-`unset` - Clear all `group` rules.
The `group` rule without options is a shorthand for `group set`.
By default, `set` and `lock` only affect new windows once. The `always` qualifier makes them always effective.
Rules that are marked as _Dynamic_ will be reevaluated if the matching property of the window changes. For instance, if a rule is defined that changes the bordercolor of a window when it is floating, then the bordercolor will change to the requested color when it is set to floating, and revert to the default color when it is tiled again.
