xmobar-0.7 released
by Andrea Rossato 25 Jul '07

25 Jul '07

Hi! I've just released xmobar-0.7, a text based status bar I wrote for the XMonad WM. Grab it from hackage: http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/xmobar-0.7 A screen shot: http://gorgias.mine.nu/xmobar/xmobar-0.7.png A precompiled binary can be download from here: http://gorgias.mine.nu/xmobar/ What's new: - fixed the refreshing issues: thanks to Spencer xmobar now properly handles the Expose X event; - added command line options (try xmobar --help): command line options will overwrite options in the configuration file; - default configuration file can be set as ~/.xmobarrc - system monitors are now just a plugin and can be disable before compiling (see README to find out how); - better error and exception handling - other minor changes I do not even remember ...;-) Thanks to Robert Manea, Spencer Janssen, Claus Reinke for their great help! All the best, Andrea

Re: [Xmonad] darcs patch: Alt-Tab rather than Mod-Tab
by mgsloan 24 Jul '07

24 Jul '07

I understand that. The reason that I think this is a good exception is that the Alt-Tab shortcut is rather extra anyway. it's the same thing as mod-j. So, to me it looks like the mod-Tab is just backwards-compatibility for a shortcut most WMs have. So, I think maintaining this compatibility even when the user changes the default mod is desirable. I don't think this particular binding would really conflict with much, alt-tab is quite standard.

darcs patch: use a little more contrast in default tabs.
by David Roundy 24 Jul '07

24 Jul '07

Hi all, I certainly don't want to start a bikeshed discussion, but I felt that the default tabs didn't have enough contrast for me to comfortably read them. This patch increases that contrast. I would ask that this not be applied unless it's approved by Andrea, who added these configuration options. But it seems to me that for the default we'd like to err on the side of greater legibility, and let folks with better eyes or better monitors customize their Config to look nicer. (Otherwise I would simply have made this change in my Config.) David Tue Jul 24 07:37:23 PDT 2007 David Roundy <droundy(a)darcs.net> * use a little more contrast in default tabs.

darcs patch: make delete work when window is in multiple workspaces.
by David Roundy 24 Jul '07

24 Jul '07

This change makes delete work when a window is present in multiple workspaces. It also modifies filter to follow the same focus semantics as delete. This seems a good thing. We could debate this, if anyone cares, but filter is hardly used at all, and when it is, it makes sense for delete semantics to be followed.

Three column layout
by Kai Grossjohann 24 Jul '07

24 Jul '07

Below, please find a patch that implements a three column layout. Beware that I don't know Haskell at all. It seems to work for me, but I am surprised. Three column layout is similar to the built-in tall layout, except that it has three columns, the left-most of which is the master column. Please do not hesitate to suggest improvements (or to send patches). Thanks, Kai New patches: [Three column layout Kai Grossjohann <kai(a)emptydomain.de>**20070721144654 This layout is similar to tall, but has three columns.

Issue 35 in xmonad: No-mans land to send windows off to
by codesite-noreply＠google.com 23 Jul '07

23 Jul '07

Issue 35: No-mans land to send windows off to http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=35 New issue report by tim.thelion: I have been using xmonad with emacs for quite a while. I have emacs configured so that it opens almost everything in an new frame(window) and I have these windows managed by xmonad. This means that I can close those windows, and still have the emacs buffers in tact. I can switch back to a buffer using emacs' excellent buffer switcher. I would love it if xmonad had a no-mans land like this for non-emacs windows. That way, when firefox was in the way, I could close it, not worying about what was in it. And then use some kind of window switcher to get back to it at a later time(maybe on a different workspace). I don't think this is a terriably high priority feature request. But I think it would make things quite a bit more fluid for this window manager which currently lets unused windows get in the way, or get sent off to some workspace in the middle of no where where they get forgotten about.

[dzen] Basic icons support
by Robert Manea 23 Jul '07

23 Jul '07

Hi, if anyone wants to give icons support in dzen a first try should checkout svn trunk: svn checkout http://dzen.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ dzen The expected syntax to load and display icons is: ^i(icon_location) I created 3 icons for testing purposes, try this out from within dzen's directory: echo "^i(bitmaps/volume.xbm) Volume icon ^i(bitmaps/envelope.xbm) Mail icon ^i(bitmaps/battery.xbm) Battery icon" | ./dzen2 -p You can mix icons and text in any way you like and assign foreground/background colors with ^fg(color) and ^bg(color). Creating and manipulating icons can be easily done with the "bitmap" program. Have fun, Rob.
