Get app name by its window ID ( in xorg & linux ) #scripts #xorg #wmctrl #xprop

I have to say that the more I use #DKwm, the better I like it. 😉

FWIW I have incorporated a good deal of automation (via #sxhkd and #wmctrl) in my personal install. I'll publish a tutorial of what I have done on my site ( https://eirenicon.org ) and share it on both #ArchLabs and on #LiliDog.

@bofh1337 So until then a wmctrl script OUGHT to help here.
Except - using #wmctrl to report on windows it shows me where they are, nicely. X, Y, Geometry.
Now, using wmctrl again to set the window property to that - it is wrong. 😡 🤬 X seems to be wrong by around 40 points, width around 15 to 20.

Useless. 😢

Boah, I do hate computer.

Discovering that wmctrl is a REALLY useful tool to have on X11 and works great on elementary OS/GNOME.

Examples:

See list of all current windows with their geometry:

wmctrl -l -G

Move a window with the class name org.small_tech.comet to position (100,100) and size it to its minimum size:

wmctrl -x -r org.small_tech.comet -e 0,100,100,0,0

Show the desktop (hide all apps):

wmctrl -k on
