#Blender

It's important for a tiling window manager to be expressive enough to handle applications which don't always follow established development practices

For example, #Blender gives every single popup window the same class as its main window - this is not a good practice, but it we should still be able to find a workaround

With komorebi, we get around this by using a composite rule to float every blender.exe window which does not include "- Blender" in the title

Is it the prettiest solution? Not really

But ultimately, it works, it is reliable, and it enables users to achieve their goals
