Views\015\012\015\012{{>toc}}\015\012\015\012Views are the virtual desktops in subtle and they display matching clients based on tags. In comparison to the matching in tags, views match tag names.\015\012\015\012There are two ways to define a view in the config:\015\012\015\012h2. Simple\015\012\015\012The simple way just needs a name and a regular expression (see regex) to create a view:\015\012\015\012

view "view", "tag"

\015\012\015\012h2. Extended\015\012\015\012Like tags, views can have additionally properties to set a different mode or even add an icon.\015\012\015\012

{{hide}}\015\012view "view" do\015\012  match   "xterm|[u]?rxvt"\015\012  gravity :center\015\012end\015\012

\015\012\015\012h2.
