Some questions
by Sebastien Gross 11 Aug '07

Hi there, I have juste found Xmonad yesterday and I intend to switch from ion3 to it. Meanwhile I got some (newbie) questions (I do not have any haskell skills): - it is possible to switch from one desktop to one other using Mod+[1..9]. Is it possible to configure Xmonad to switch to the next, previous desktop using Mod+Sift+(lsft/right) ? - running mplayer in fullscreen (hit the f key in mplayer) does not fill the screen but the window. Some workarround exist (such as using Xmonad full screen or using the FindEmptyWorkspace module), but using the functionnality from mplayer would be greater. - I do use Konsole as console and under ion I wrote a handy tool to ssh from my desktop to an other server throught jumphosts: konsole_kicker "ssh -t jump1 ssh -t jump2 ssh -t desthost; exit;" \ "desthost" <pid> in fact konsole_kicker uses dcop to display the command string inside a new tab in the current console. The question is is it possible to get the pid of the current window and how? In lua I use: --8<-- function PID(cwin) local atom=ioncore.x_intern_atom("_NET_WM_PID", false) local t=ioncore.x_get_window_property(cwin:xid(), atom, 0, 0, true) if t then return t[1] end --end end function konsole_kicker(cwin, cmd, session) if not cwin or cwin:get_ident().class ~= "Konsole" then pid = 0 else pid = PID(cwin) if not pid then pid = 0 end end cl = string.format('%s "%s" %s %d', konsole_kicker_bin, cmd, session, pid) ioncore.exec(cl) end --8<-- this might me translatable to haskell I think. I surelly have some new question later :-) Thanks in advanve Cheers, -- Sébastien Gross

darcs patch: Decoration.hs: removed redraw in case of... (and 1 more)
by Andrea Rossato 11 Aug '07

11 Aug '07

Hi, the first patch remove from Decoration a call to redraw the decoration windows in case of a propertyNotify event for the window they are a decoration for. I don't know if there are reasons for it - I did not find any, in which case I think it is superfluous and can lead to unwanted results. David, am I right? The second one follow the patch David sent for XPrompt: here we have the same problem. Andrea Wed Aug 8 11:49:27 CEST 2007 Andrea Rossato <andrea.rossato(a)unibz.it> * Decoration.hs: removed redraw in case of a propertyNotify event There is no reason to redraw the decoration window when a propertyNotify is send to the decoreted window.

It turned out that we weren't actually using the selected font. Probably the same bug exists in Tabbed, but in that case I use the default font anyhow, and it looks fine.

darcs patch: increase default contrast in XPrompt.
by David Roundy 11 Aug '07

11 Aug '07

As before, if Andrea objects, I'll just move this into my Config... it feels to me like a prompt needs more contrast, since you actively want to look at it, while tabs are supposed to fade into the background when you aren't looking at them. David Fri Aug 10 10:47:24 PDT 2007 David Roundy <droundy(a)darcs.net> * increase default contrast in XPrompt.

darcs patch: Make DynamicLog not require Integral WorkspaceId.
by David Roundy 11 Aug '07

11 Aug '07

Hi all, This one's a bit more iffy. I experimented (a while back, but the code's still here locally) with making "type WorkspaceId String", and this is one of the (few) changes that this required. I can send the code sometime, if anyone's interested. My thought is that I'd like to make workspaces be a list of workspace IDs rather than a number. I don't like the hard-coding of workspace IDs to be integers from zero up. Some day I expect I'll get around to implementing dynamic workspace layouts, so you can add and remove workspaces at runtime. David Wed Aug 1 07:46:13 PDT 2007 David Roundy <droundy(a)darcs.net> * Make DynamicLog not require Integral WorkspaceId. Note that to acheive previous display, a nice Show instance for WorkspaceId would need to be defined, rather than using a derived Show instance.
