Hi all, Here's Andrea's patch together with one of mine to shrink our window titles so that they can fit in the tabs. I made the shrinker extensible, so users can configure it to eliminate whatever seems irrelevant in their window names. David Sun Jun 17 03:42:19 PDT 2007 Andrea Rossato <andrea.rossato(a)unibz.it> * Tabbed.hs: fixed centerText issues and some binding shadowing warnings This patch fixes the centerText issue due to the inappropriate use of textExtends and textWidth. Those functions need a FontStruct id to operate, and this cannot be retrieved with queryFont (see comments in Graphics.X11.Xlib.Font). So we now get the FontStruct with loadQueryFont, we set the default Xorg fonts and we calculate things for (vertical and horizontal) centering. It also removes some binding shadows compiler warnings Sun Jun 17 08:23:40 PDT 2007 David Roundy <droundy(a)darcs.net> * shrink window names to fit tabs.

this fixes some of the Tabbed layout issues. It is now possible to set fonts. I'm going to refactor the module (with David's permision obviously), so we will take advatage of that. ciao andrea Sun Jun 17 12:42:19 CEST 2007 Andrea Rossato <andrea.rossato(a)unibz.it> * Tabbed.hs: fixed centerText issues and some binding shadowing warnings This patch fixes the centerText issue due to the inappropriate use of textExtends and textWidth.

OT : urxvt and useful fonts
by Dave Harrison 17 Jun '07

17 Jun '07

Hey all, I've moved to urxvt recently but noticed that the antialiased fonts seem a bit fuzzy. I'm assuming this is down to my font choice, so as a nice piece of off-topic posting, what fonts do people find work well in urxvt ? Cheers Dave

darcs patch: make workspace tag not need to be a Num.
by David Roundy 17 Jun '07

17 Jun '07

This is an amend-recorded version, which fixes a conflict with the recent haddock changes in StackSet. David Thu Jun 14 07:07:09 PDT 2007 David Roundy <droundy(a)darcs.net> * make workspace tag not need to be a Num. This change also removes the barely used 'size' field, and replaces it with a tagMember predicate. The idea is to move towards the ability to make the workspace tag be a String, which by default might be "1".."9", but could also be customized to be something meaningful to the user.

darcs patch: Setup.lhs: added a specific haddock hook to deal with ...
by Andrea Rossato 17 Jun '07

17 Jun '07

I know that you are going to think I'm crazy, but I wanted to have package name and description in the front page, and there they are: http://gorgias.mine.nu/xmonad/ In order to get there I had to dig into cabal (interesting though): I came out with this haddock hook, based on the original one. Basically: cabal/haddock uses package description and title (from xmonad.cabal) only when building libraries (I think it is supposed to be a feature). I though that probably XMonad can be both: you are changing the way people think, after all! Great being part of it... andrea Fri Jun 15 19:08:14 CEST 2007 Andrea Rossato <andrea.rossato(a)unibz.it> * Setup.lhs: added a specific haddock hook to deal with xmonad documentation This patch adds a haddock hook to Cabal. Derived from Distribution.Simple.haddock it uses package description and synopsis for the html formatting.

Issue 24: focus moves correctly, but its visible indication is wrong http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=24 New issue report by matthias.neubauer: What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. start xmonad 2. open xterm 3. open another xterm 4. move mouse cursor in second xterm What is the expected output? What do you see instead? - Expected output: I expect to move the focus (highlighted text cursor) together with the mouse from the first window to the second. - Instead, the focus (highlighted text cursor) stays in the first window *and* moves to the second window What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? - darcs checkout from yesterday (2006-06-15) - os x 10.4.9 an a powerbook g4 1ghz Please provide any additional information below. If this error is due to a module from XMonadContrib, please tag this issue with 'Component- Contrib' below.

darcs patch: fix leak in Combo.
by David Roundy 17 Jun '07

17 Jun '07

Hi all, Here is a pretty important fix to Combo. Fortunately, I doubt anyone but myself has been using this, so I'm probably the only one with vastly bloated memory use in my X server. It does make me wonder if there's a better design we could use, though. :( David Sat Jun 16 12:10:52 PDT 2007 David Roundy <droundy(a)darcs.net> * fix leak in Combo. We leaked decorations, since UnDoLayout wasn't passed to the actual layouts that had decorations attached. :(

more WS indicator stuff
by Robert Manea 17 Jun '07

17 Jun '07

Hi. So, here's a script to perfectly - well almost - mimic dwm's statusbar tag indicator. Almost perfect because i haven't found a simple way to switch xmonad workspaces with an external program. Actually we can do something dwm does not provide, namely have the workspaces color coded, i find this very useful as you dont have to read the tags anymore - just look at the color and you know where you are :). The current solution is perl pased, simply because i'm more comfortable with perl than with haskell, though this would make a rather cool contrib modules if anyone cares to haskellize it..

Off topic: Which web browser?

The third screenshot on the XMonad website (http://www.xmonad.org/images/xmonad_xcompmgr.png) seems to show a web browser with a vi-like interface. What's that browser? tia, Kai
