Something annoying I have been trying to resolve with Steam is that notification toasts do not respect the reserved area. In my case this manifests as them overlapping with waybar. Now I imagined the solution would be as simple as setting a `move` window rule but not quite.

Seemingly move rules do not affect it. For example, this should make the window appear in the middle of the screen. But it still spawns in the corner under my bar.

```auto
windowrule = move 0 0,title:^(notificationtoasts_.*_desktop)$,class:^(steam)$ 

```

That being said, I know that the `title`/`class`aren’t wrong because I have found you can affect these windows with rules like the following.

```auto
windowrule = opacity .10 .10,title:^(notificationtoasts_.*_desktop)$,class:^(steam)$ 

```

It is, seemingly, just rules that move the notifications that don’t go through (ie. move and center). My only guess as to why is that maybe the notifications move themselves to the corner after they are created? I have no clue. If no-one has a solution I will probably just disable them entirely but it feels like there should be something we can do about this.

you can’t unfortunately, since they are XWayland and their animation is made in an obscene way.

I just hope they move to system notifications via dbus once CEF minimal supports wayland and they move off of X
