Picom shadows - only on floating windows [feature request] #117
Description
Picom shadows can be added easily but there is a catch in that, that it doesn't look good in tiling scenarios.
Adding a property to a window to distinguish if its floating or not would open up the possibility of it being filtered by picom when applying shadows.
i3 has it's I3_FLOATING_WINDOW property that can be filtered through as a example.
This feature was approved by the developer , feel free to make a PR if you know how to create such a thing.

Do you know of any similar property on dwm? And how would you actually filter in picom through window properties? Thanks in advance.

The property aka class of the window has to be somehow set in the code when a window is in a tiling state, then when we have all floating windows tagged with a class of for example IWM_TILED_WINDOW we can in the picom config file set:
And this will ignore all tiled windows when applying the shadows, if that clears some stuff up.
