## Spotify
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Spotify does not follow window rules. This is because the client sets its 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. Another alternative is [ncspot](https://github.com/hrkfdn/ncspot), a powerful cross-platform ncurses Spotify client written in Rust.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Some users have also reported [installing spotifywm](https://github.com/dasJ/spotifywm) has resolved
|
|
||||||
the issue.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
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.
