Window rules

Thunar dialogs show as a full size tiled window, taking up a disproportionate amount of space.

A cleaner desktop is achived by setting window rules to show dialogs as a floating windows. Optionally moving the windows to the mouse cursor position or to a suitable position on the current screen.

The Rename dialog should keep focus even if the mouse is not hovering over the dialog. The focus will change if the mouse is moved to another window though.

Center the Rename dialog on the mouse will minimise focus being lost if the mouse is moved slightly.

Thunar Rename dialog: Center on mouse cursor

windowrule = float,stayfocused,move cursor -50% -50%,class:^(thunar)$,title:(Rename.*)$

The File Operations Progress

Thunar File Operations: float and move to bottom left corner

windowrule = float,class:^(thunar)$,title:(File Operation Progress.*)$
windowrule = move onscreen 100%-24 100%-24,class:^(thunar)$,title:(File Operation Progress.*)$
