Disable Window Decorations and Window Switcher Menu in labwc

I've enjoyed my experience with labwc so far. One thing I don't enjoy, though, are the window decorations. Luckily, after a May 2023 patch, they can be easily turned off by adding the following to your .config/labwc/rc.xml file:


<windowRules>
<windowRule identifier="*" serverDecoration="no" />
</windowRules>

Another thing I don't like is the default behaviour of the window switcher (i.e. what happens when you press alt-tab). It displays a small menu in the center of all displays that shows the available windows to switch between. I prefer no menu at all.

Fixing this is simple. We just need to set the windowSwitcher property. Here's my settings:


<windowSwitcher show="no" preview="yes" outlines="no">

No more menus!
