For tiling window managers to avoid automatic tiling (Hyprland, Sway, i3, etc.)

windowrulev2 = float, class:^(org\.netrs\.ui)$

Adjust class if your compositor reports a different one via hyprctl clients.

Styling

Expose your own styles by placing style.css in ~/.config/nmrs/

Example:

/* Global overrides */
* {
    font-family: "Inter", "Sans";
    color: #073642; /* Solarized dark teal */
}

window, .network-page {
    background: #fdf6e3; /* Solarized base3 */
}

/* Replace all labels with a distinct color */
label {
    color: #586e75 !important;
}

See nmrs-ui/src/style.css for any custom widget labels I currently use.
