New Window Settings

A Cinnamon extension to configure newly opened windows based on the new windows Application. It remembers any changes you make to a windows "Always on Top" and "Always on Visible Workspace" settings and then applies those same settings to any new window that is opened for that application in the future.

For example: If you wanted to have the "Always on Visible Workspace" setting for Spotify you currently have to reapply that setting every time you start Spotify. With this extension enabled, once you enable the "Always on Visible Workspace" setting for Spotify, any time in the future you open Spotify (even after a reboot) the setting will remain enabled. All new Spotify windows will continue in this way until you change a Spotify window to be "Only on This Workspace".
