@ -11,9 +11,39 @@ on the Discord ToS.
- [gtkcord4](https://github.com/diamondburned/gtkcord4) is a Discord client written in GTK4.
While it does infringe on Discord's ToS, it's relatively safe and doesn't rely on any webview technologies.
## Spotify
Spotify does not follow window rules. This is because the client sets is class _after_
the window has opened, thus making it "immune" to windowrules. An alternative to
Spotify's GUI client is [spotify-tui](https://github.com/Rigellute/spotify-tui) which can be
launched in a terminal with a custom class. While limited in functionality, it is quite
powerful and could be preferred over the GUI client.
Some users have also reported [installing spotifywm](https://github.com/amurzeau/spotifywm) has resolved
the issue. The original repository by [`dasJ`](https://github.com/dasJ/spotifywm) is no longer working because of some changes made in the newer
Spotify version, and until the pull request gets merged, [`amurzeau's fork`](https://github.com/amurzeau/spotifywm) does the job.
After following the installation paragraph on the README, start Spotify with:
```bash
LD_PRELOAD=/path/to/spotifywm.so spotify
```
The path **MUST** be the absolute one. If it's not, the hack will not work.
Now you can freely manage your Spotify client. Always use `class` to manage the
window. For example:
```ini
windowrulev2 = tile, class:^(Spotify)$
windowrulev2 = workspace 9, class:^(Spotify)$
```
Pick your poison.
## Matrix/Element
- [Fractal](https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Fractal) is a Matrix client written in GTK4.
[Fractal](https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Fractal) is a Matrix client written in GTK4.
Much like Discord, Element is known to have a lot of problems as a result of being
based on Electron. Fractal currently doesn't support VoIP calling, but all other features
are supported, including E2EE and cross-device verification.
