[Notion-general] thunderbird attention to background?

[Thomas K. <tk...@gi...>]

Hi!

When running thunderbird, it sometimes pops up a window to remind you
of stuff. That's fine, but I don't want it popping up in the
foreground, it should pop up in the background (perhaps with a red
title bar, like firefox's download window when it has finished a
download) so it doesn't steal focus from what I'm currently working
on.

Is there a way to do that?
 Thomas

If the window info of the stuff-remind-window does not change I would
assign that window to be opened in scratchpad or any other frame (see META-m->window-info
and cfg_kludges.lua).

I hope that helps.

Partially :)

window-info says

WGroupDW "WGroupCW<6>"
 ---
 WClientWin "1 Reminder"
 Class: Thunderbird
 Role: AlarmWindow
 Instance: Calendar
 XID: 0x1cc00cf0

so I expect it's recognizable from Class+Role (and perhaps Instance).

I'm not sure what to write into my config though, can you please suggest something?

Thank you,
 Thomas
