The `exec` dispatcher supports adding rules. Please note some windows might work
better, some worse. It records the PID of the spawned process and uses that. For example, if
your process forks and then the fork opens a window, this will not work.
Rules will only be applied once. This means dynamic rules will be overridden as soon as a
property of the window changes (e.g. switching focus). To make dynamic rules stick around
use `hyprctl setprop` (see [Using hyprctl](./Using-hyprctl)).
The syntax is:

added, will be unlocked. Locking means a dynamic windowrule _cannot_ override
this setting.
Usage:
```sh
hyprctl setprop <mode:regex> <property> <value> [lock]
```
Regex supports different modes. The supported modes are:
```ini
class - class
title - title
initialclass - initialClass
initialtitle - initialTitle
active - active window
address - address prefixed with 0x
pid - process ID
floating - first floating window on the current workspace
tiled - first tiled window on the current workspace
```
If no mode is specified `class` is used by default.
{{< callout type=info >}}
To get more information about a window, you can use `hyprctl clients`.
{{< /callout >}}
{{< callout type=warning >}}
Please beware that `hyprctl clients` will display the fields as **initialClass** and **initialTitle** while the regex mode uses `initialclass` and `initialtitle`.
