I want some windows to auto start at the exact same spot and size each time, however the “size” and “move” window rules seem to do nothing, and tbh the wiki ain't really making things more clear.

The order in which the applications start seems to still determine how the windows tile.

The setup I want is Spotify center, and below 2 kitty terminals, one with btop one with cava, however none of the window rules seem to affect position.

Here is my current config, I already tried various different values for the “move” rule, but no value changed the order of windows
i also tried it with windowrulev2 but that didnt change anything either

exec-once = [workspace 3 silent] spotify-launcher  
exec-once = [workspace 3 silent] $terminal --title visualizer $visualizer  
exec-once = [workspace 3 silent] $terminal --title resources $resources  
windowrule = move 100% 100%, title:(Spotify)(,*)  
windowrule = move -100% 100%, class:(kitty), title(resources)  
windowrule = move 100% -100%, class:(kitty), title(visualizer) 

how i want it to look

how it ends up looking
