Issue 19: Investigate a way to allow contrib extensions to use compositing. http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=19 Comment #7 by thayerw: > tiling, compositing wm would probably take a big chunk of the tiling wm market. I just want to second this. I think there is huge potential in having a composite tiled environment, in terms of both special fx *and* usability. It has been mentioned elsewhere, but some of the possibilities include: * zoom in/out inactive windows instead of resizing the viewport * zoom in to maximize or partially maximize a client over the top of other clients * Flip 3D style rotation of clients * quickly view all workspaces with an expo-style overlay IMHO drop shadows are superficial when compared to the real enhancements in usability this could provide. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.

Ubuntu packages available
by lithis 03 Jan '08

I created Ubuntu Gutsy packages from nomeata’s Debian packages, for both i386 and amd64. You can get them from nomeata’s site, http://people.debian.org/~nomeata/xmonad/gutsy/ . (Until the amd64 packages are there, you can download them at http://hethrael.com/xmonad/ .) I don’t know what will happen if you install them and have a self-compiled version installed too; I uninstalled X11, xmonad, and xmonad-contrib before installing them.

Issue 117 in xmonad: composite support?

Issue 117: composite support? http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=117 Comment #1 by dons00: Duplicate of #19, http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=19&can=1&q=compositing which i've reopened. To make progress on this, we need someone to identify the basic compositing api, so we can do a haskell binding to it, and work out if a compositing hook is needed for xmonad. Once the api is identified, everything else should be easy. We just need that initial groundwork done.

Issue 12: Support _NET_WM_STRUT property for status bar programs http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=12 Comment #17 by loupgaroublond: * avoidstruts are toggled per workspace, rather than per screen (whether this is good or bad is debatable) It makes more sense to me, the way it is, and I have my config set up even to do ToggleStruts on a per Layout*Workspace basis. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.

Issue 12: Support _NET_WM_STRUT property for status bar programs http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=12 Comment #16 by SpencerJanssen: AvoidStruts still has a few issues: * it scans all top level windows on every refresh -- a performance bug waiting to happen * we don't correctly subscribe to property events on dock windows, so the detected gap isn't always accurate * avoidstruts are toggled per workspace, rather than per screen (whether this is good or bad is debatable) * with core gaps, each edge can be toggled independently, not so with avoidstruts We can consider removing gaps when these issues are resolved. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.

Setup.lhs: xmonad.cabal:25: 'Executable' stanza starting ...
by Jevin Maltais 03 Jan '08

03 Jan '08

Hi and Merry Christmas! I'm trying to get xmonad working on my Ubuntu Gusty install. I'm getting ideas from this link on how to install it (it's only for xmonad 0.4): http://erl.nfshost.com/wordpress/2007/11/02/installing-xmonad-on-ubuntu-gut… So for mtl-1.1.0 and X11-1.4.1 I do: sudo runhaskell Setup.* configure; runhaskell Setup.* build sudo runhaskell Setup.* install; For and xmonad-0.5 I do: pushd xmonad-0.5/; runhaskell Setup.* configure --prefix=$HOME --user; runhaskell Setup.* build runhaskell Setup.* install I get the following error for each of the "runhaskell" lines in the xmond-0.5 dir: Setup.lhs: xmonad.cabal:25: 'Executable' stanza starting with field 'flag small_base description' Here is the output of "ghc-pkg list" /usr/lib/ghc-6.6.1/package.conf: Cabal-1.1.6.2, X11-1.4.1, base-2.1.1, filepath-1.0, (ghc-6.6.1), haskell98-1.0, mtl-1.0.1, mtl-1.1.0.0, parsec-2.0, readline-1.0, regex-base-0.72, regex-compat-0.71, regex-posix-0.71, rts-1.0, stm-2.0, template-haskell-2.1, unix-2.1 Any ideas?
