I am trying to open 6 chromium windows spaced like such: |X|X|X| Is it possible to do this? I have tried i3-save-tree, but that just gives me 6 black boxes that say chromium (which I now understand are just placeholders). I have attempted i3-resurrect. That gives me 6 chromium pages and 6 black boxes. How would I do just 6 chromium pages opening up automatically on a workspace? |

You can try this: in your config file |

This still gives me 6 horizontal windows right next to each other. Another question is if I am able to get the 6 placeholders (which I am), how do I get the programs INSIDE the placeholders? Like I have 6 black boxes that say "Class=Chromium, instance=chromium) but they're just black boxes and don't do anything. I'm also able to get the 6 placeholders and 6 actual chromium programs (using i3-resurrect), but not in the desired layout. I feel all these issues could be solved if I figure out how to actually get a program "inside" the placeholder. |

When a matching window is created, the placeholder automatically swallows the window. If it doesn't for you, we'll need to see your layout json file. |

Thank you for the layout file. I tried that, and it gave me 6 windows spaced how I wanted them, but the windows are still black boxes (with a white dot in the middle). I need them to be spaced the way they are but open to chromium every time. |

Here is what I mean. They are black boxes assigned to the Chromium web Address, but don't actually pull up the web page. |

Yes, as I've said before, these are placeholders. Execute chromium and it should be swallowed by them, one at each time |

Thank you. So execute the layout file in the config file and then execute the chromium windows in the same config file? |

i3 uses everything under each
swallowssection to match new windows. Your layout file includes a "title" property which means that only windows with the exact titlemoni.auger.org.ar - Chromiumwill be swallowed.Try this instead:
