gnoblin.configure.layer_shell

Configure how Gnoblin handles an active window when a layer-shell client opens. Changes apply at the next login.

Setting	Values	Default	Effect
preserve_active_window	Boolean	true	Keeps the active application window focused when a layer-shell surface opens. Set false to allow focus to change.

gnoblin.configure {
    layer_shell = {preserve_active_window = true},
}

See the layer-shell protocol catalog.

Quickshell draws the panel as a layer surface; Files remains a regular app window.
