Workspace Rules

You can set workspace rules to achieve workspace-specific behaviors. For instance, you can define a workspace where all windows are drawn without borders or gaps.

For layout-specific rules, see the specific layout page. For example: Master Layout->Workspace Rules

Syntax

workspace=WORKSPACE,RULES

• WORKSPACE is a valid workspace identifier (see Dispatchers->Workspaces). This field is mandatory;
• RULES is one (or more) rule(s) as described here in rules.

Examples

workspace=name:myworkspace,gapsin:0,gapsout:0
workspace=3,rounding:false,bordersize:0

Rules

Rule	Description	type
monitor:[m]	Binds a workspace to a monitor See syntax and Monitors.	string
default:[b]	Whether this workspace should be the default workspace for the given monitor	bool
gapsin:[x]	Set the gaps between windows (equivalent to General->gaps_in)	int
gapsout:[x]	Set the gaps between windows and monitor edges (equivalent to General->gaps_out)	int
bordersize:[x]	Set the border size around windows (equivalent to General->border_size)	int
border:[b]	Whether to draw borders or not	bool
shadow:[b]	Whether to draw shadows or not	bool
rounding:[b]	Whether to draw rounded windows or not	bool
decorate:[b]	Whether to draw window decorations or not	bool
persistent:[b]	Keep this workspace alive even if empty and inactive	bool
on-created-empty:[c]	A command to be executed once a workspace is created empty (i.e. not created by moving a window to it). See the command syntax	string
defaultName:[s]	A default name for the workspace.	string

Example Rules

workspace = 3, rounding:false, decorate:false
workspace = name:coding, rounding:false, decorate:false, gapsin:0, gapsout:0, border:false, decorate:false, monitor:DP-1
workspace = 8,bordersize:8
workspace = name:Hello, monitor:DP-1, default:true
workspace = name:gaming, monitor:desc:Chimei Innolux Corporation 0x150C, default:true
workspace = 5, on-created-empty:[float] firefox
workspace = special:scratchpad, on-created-empty:foot
