Hi, thanks again for OmniWM, I’ve been enjoying the workspace bar a lot.
I wanted to ask if it would be possible to add a way to exclude specific apps from appearing in the workspace bar.
Use case:
Some apps are useful to keep running, but I do not want them represented in the bar. In my case, I’d like to hide Ubersicht from the workspace bar, while still letting it run normally.
Right now, I can see global bar options like:
show floating windows
deduplicate app icons
hide empty workspaces
But I could not find a per-app exclude option.
A feature like this could be something along the lines of:
an app rule option such as hideFromWorkspaceBar = true
or a dedicated list of excluded bundle IDs for the workspace bar
Example:
hide tracesOf.Uebersicht from the workspace bar
keep other apps visible as normal
This would be especially helpful for helper apps, widgets, overlays, and background-style UI apps that technically create windows but are not useful to show in the workspace bar.
Thanks for considering it.
