In order for the behavior to work, it is my understanding that the WM_CLASS
or WM_NAME values should match the rules struct definition in your
config.h. I don't use the centered patch for terminals, but maybe you can
make it work by specifying a custom window name, class, or title upon
launch (e.g., st options -n, -c, or -t). With other X applications it
works flawlessly on my end. I have the following rule definition in my
config.h,
static const Rule rules[] = {
/* xprop(1):
* WM_CLASS(STRING) = instance, class
* WM_NAME(STRING) = title
*/
/* class instance title tags mask iscentered isfloating monitor */
{ "Tor Browser", NULL, NULL, 0, 1, 1, -1 },
};
and the above makes Tor Browser starts as a floating window in the middle
of the screen.
