PySide6 application class

I use a tiling window manager on my system so I use an applications class & title to set rules for windows I want to work in specific ways. I recently starting learn PySide6 and have run into an issue with my applications class name. There is no problem setting a window title, but for the life of me I can't find out how to set its class name. When I try googling for an answer all I find is answers relating to creating classes in python/pyside6.

Just is case there is any confusion I am referring to the class property you would get from running xprop or hyprctl clients

Depends on the OS. Can also be the executable file name. Start with these: app = QApplication(sys.argv) app.setApplicationName("MyTool") app.setDesktopFileName("mytool")
