Hi,
Is this possible to run devilspie with dwm? I can't get it to work. I
want to match windows of particular apps and preform some actions on
them, but devilspie doesn't see any windows at all. Is there any
solution available? I've tried to get help on arch linux

afaik devilspi
from what I understand, devilspie assumes a reparenting window
manager, which is why you're not seeing any windows listed. What
operations are you trying to perform on these windows? Anything that
cannot be done in config.h?
I want to add transparency to terminal windows using transset-df. Is
this possible to acomplish within config.h file?

This has been mentioned before on the list, generally transparency is
seen as a superfluous extra by most suckless members.

I use urxvt with both real and fake transparency and I've

different terminal or apply the patch if it means that much to you.
