Hi,

Is there a way to make a specific window, not floating by default?

_NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE(ATOM) = _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_UTILITY
_NET_WM_SYNC_REQUEST_COUNTER(CARDINAL) = 33554589, 33554590
_NET_WM_USER_TIME(CARDINAL) = 2783685
_NET_WM_USER_TIME_WINDOW(WINDOW): window id # 0x200009c
WM_CLIENT_LEADER(WINDOW): window id # 0x2000001
_NET_WM_PID(CARDINAL) = 1230
WM_LOCALE_NAME(STRING) = "en_US.UTF-8"
WM_CLIENT_MACHINE(STRING) = ""
WM_NORMAL_HINTS(WM_SIZE_HINTS):
        program specified minimum size: 142 by 80
        program specified maximum size: 16384 by 16384
        program specified base size: 142 by 80
        window gravity: NorthWest
WM_PROTOCOLS(ATOM): protocols  WM_DELETE_WINDOW, WM_TAKE_FOCUS, _NET_WM_PING, _NET_WM_SYNC_REQUEST
WM_CLASS(STRING) = "Toolkit", "firefox"
WM_ICON_NAME(STRING) = "Picture-in-Picture"
_NET_WM_ICON_NAME(UTF8_STRING) = "Picture-in-Picture"
WM_NAME(STRING) = "Picture-in-Picture"
_NET_WM_NAME(UTF8_STRING) = "Picture-in-Picture"

This is the window i would like to make not floating.

Generally, all windows are tiling by default. So you need to figure out which of your floating rules is matching the window and figure out a way to negate it. If you can find the offending match, I can try to help refine it so that it doesn't match this specific window (though sometimes that's not possible unfortunately).
