darcs patch: make square work with new doLayout. (and 3 more)
by David Roundy 14 Jun '07

14 Jun '07

Here's various compilation fixes for modules that I use (and wrote). David Tue Jun 12 06:30:09 PDT 2007 David Roundy <droundy(a)darcs.net> * make square work with new doLayout. Tue Jun 12 06:30:27 PDT 2007 David Roundy <droundy(a)darcs.net> * make combo sort of work with new doLayout. For some reason (not entirely clear to me) this doesn't work properly just yet with the tabbed layout. :( But at least it'll compile. The trouble is that we have no way of tracking which tab ought to be visible without adding a *lot* of infrastructure. I'd rather have that infrastructure in xmonad proper than reimplement all the focus-handling in combo, so for now I'll just delay upgrading my xmonad at work... Tue Jun 12 06:37:27 PDT 2007 David Roundy <droundy(a)darcs.net> * new module NoBorders to let a given layout have windows without borders. This is designed for layouts like full and tabbed, where the red square around the screen actually conveys no information (except for weird windows that use the shape extension or something, so that more than one window is actually visible). Save some real estate at no cost. Tue Jun 12 06:37:53 PDT 2007 David Roundy <droundy(a)darcs.net> * add Combo and Square to MetaModule.

[dzen] keyboard control & dynamic color support
by Robert Manea 14 Jun '07

14 Jun '07

Hi, if anyone would like to give dynamic color support and keyboard control in dzen a try should checkout svn trunk: svn checkout http://dzen.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ dzen * Keyboard support: ----------------- add the keys to action bindings like this: -e 'key_Escape=exit;key_j=scrolldown;key_k=scrollup' The part after 'key_' corresponds to keysymdef.h (the part after 'XK_') Two new actions were introduced "grabkeys" and "ungrabkeys", useful in combination with the "onstart" event in order let dzen grab the keyboard right after startup. * Dynamic color support: ---------------------- pipe lines like the following to dzen: echo "^#cc11ffTEXTTOBECOLOREDHERE" | ./dzen2 -p For a quick test use this: {echo title; sleep 1; echo "^#cc11fffooooo"; \ sleep 1; echo "^#ddaaffbaaaaar"; sleep 1; \ echo defaultcolor; sleep 1; echo "^#23dca1someothercolor"} | \ dzen2 -p -bg black -l 8 There is a known off by one problem in menu mode with coloring otherwise it should work ok. Ideas and suggestions welcome. Bye, Rob.

Wed Jun 13 17:50:49 MDT 2007 Jason Creighton <jcreigh(a)gmail.com> * Tabbed.hs: Get correct color values instead of assuming a 24-bit display Using, eg, 0xBBBBBB directly makes assumptions about the server's colormap and only works on 24-bit displays. This patch fetches the colors on every doLayout call, which is ugly, but works. It would be nice if we could do all the required initColors only once.

Wed Jun 13 17:45:01 MDT 2007 Jason Creighton <jcreigh(a)gmail.com> * move initColor to Operations and only store the Pixel value of colors Moving initColor to Operations allows it to be used by extensions. The Pixel component of the color is the only thing we need, so it's simpler just to deal with that.

Hi! this is a proposal for documenting extensions. If you think it could be useful, I'll submit a patch for the other modules. have a look of the haddock output here: http://gorgias.mine.nu/tabbed/XMonadContrib-Tabbed.html Let me know, Andrea Wed Jun 13 15:10:29 CEST 2007 Andrea Rossato <andrea.rossato(a)unibz.it> * template for module information and documentation
