Windows don't float

[Gulshan Singh]

When opening windows like yad, the window opens and tiles in the window manager instead of floating above the status bar. How did you get it to float?

[Nick Lanham]

Yeah, you need to add the following to your i3 config file:

for_window [class="YADWIN"] border none
for_window [class="YADWIN"] floating enable

which will cause those windows to float. I'm gonna try and write out some more explicit instructions in the nearish future which should cover this.
