Description
Description
I have applications that I always want to be the same size, e.g. 1400x900 (and I'm fine with having unused space below them). Width can be controlled by KDE window rules, but height is always affected by Karousel.
My current workaround is a placeholder window below, but this is cumbersome because it can't be fully automated and doesn't scale well when using different displays.
Suggested solution
A Karousel window rule to either
- specify and force the desired dimensions or
- ignore dimensions for specific windows and leave it to KDE (just handle column placement without affecting windows size)
First would be better because this way all tiling related window rules could be in Karousel.

Research direction
Start by tracing Karousel's existing window-rule handling and the code that applies window dimensions and column placement. Compare the two proposed behaviors, then define which rule syntax and precedence are needed; done means selected windows retain or receive the requested dimensions without breaking tiling across displays.
