Still looks wrong to me.
Should be like this:
floating_layout = layout.Floating(
border_focus="#00ff00",
float_rules=[
# Run the utility of `xprop` to see the wm class and name of an X
client.
{'wmclass': 'confirm'},
{'wmclass': 'dialog'},
{'wmclass': 'download'},
{'wmclass': 'error'},
{'wmclass': 'file_progress'},
{'wmclass': 'notification'},
{'wmclass': 'splash'},
{'wmclass': 'toolbar'},
{'wmclass': 'confirmreset'}, # gitk
{'wmclass': 'makebranch'}, # gitk
{'wmclass': 'maketag'}, # gitk
{'wname': 'branchdialog'}, # gitk
{'wname': 'pinentry'}, # GPG key password entry
{'wmclass': 'ssh-askpass'}, # ssh-askpass
{'wmclass': 'redshift-gtk'},
{'wmclass': 'pavucontrol'},
]
)
This is the method I use to colour borders of floating windows when I click
and drag them.
