Recommended Setup for Multi-Monitor

Krohnkite supports multi-monitor setup, but KWin has to be configured to unlock the full potential of the script.

  1. Enable Separate Screen Focusunder Window Management > Window Behavior > Multiscreen Behaviour

    NOTE: Separate Screen Focus appears only when multiple monitors are present.

  2. Bind keys for global shortcut Switch to Next/Previous Screen (Recommend: Meta + , / Meta + .)

  3. Bind keys for global shortcut Window to Next/Previous Screen (Recommend: Meta + < / Meta + >)

Remove Title Bars

Some tiling WMs don't have title bars. This can be simulated in KDE with Breeze window decoration, using its window-sepecific rules.

  1. Open System Setting > Application Style > Window Decorations

  2. Click the edit button w/ pencil icon. (Hover the cursor over Breeze theme)

    Alternatively, search for "Breeze Window Decoration" from Application Launcher or KRunner to directly access the settings dialog.

  3. Click Window-Specific Overrides tab > Add button

  4. Enter the followings, and press Ok:

  • Tick Hide window title bar
  • Regular expression to match: .*

or

  • if you only want to remove the title bar for one specific application then press the Detect Window Properties button, click with the crosshair cursor on the app where you want to remove the title bar and confirm Use Window Class with OK. This copies the right window class name into the 'regression expression to match'. After 'OK' the title bar for this application should be removed.

Changing Border Colors

Some tiling WMs emphasize the current window by changing the border color. This also can be acheieved in KDE, by editing a file:

  1. Open ~/.config/kdeglobals with a text editor

  2. Scroll down and find [WM] section

  3. Append the following to the section:

    • frame=61,174,233: set the border color of active window to RGB(61,174,233)
    • inactiveFrame=239,240,241: set the border color of inactive window to RGB(239,240,241)

    NOTE: RGB values here are for the default Breeze theme. Change values to fit your needs.

  4. You must restart your session to see changes. (i.e. re-login, reboot)
