In the config file ~/.config/hyprland-autoname-workspaces/config.toml. Edit the mapping of applications with class = "icon" in the [icons] part.

• You can exclude applications in the [exclude] with class = title.

In the exclude part, the key is the window class, and the value the title. You can use "" in order to exclude window with empty title and "*" as value to match all title of a class name.

Example:

... [exclude] fcitx = "*" Steam = "Friends list"

• You can match on title with [title.classname] with "a word in the title" = "icons".

Example:

... [title.kitty] neomutt = "neomutt"

No need to restart the applications then, there is an autoreload.

Hint: You can use glyphsearch and copy the unicode icon of your font for example https://glyphsearch.com/?query=book&copy=unicode

Hint: You can find hyprland class names for currently running apps using: hyprctl clients | grep -i class, or you can also use hyprland-autoname-workspaces --verbose.
