Issue 128: Mirror mus implement emptyLayout http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=128 New issue report by andrea.rossato: Since Mirror is a modifier implemented as layout (which makes it buggy and difficult to maintain), it *must* implement the newly introduced emptyLayout method. Attached a patch that does just that. This is urgent, since Mirror, applied to a decorated layout/layout modifier/combinator would break the decoration layer producing difficult to be tracked effects (which could be reported as separate bugs).

darcs patch: Make Mirror implement emptyLayout (and 1 more)
by Andrea Rossato 31 Jan '08

31 Jan '08

Hi, the first patch is needed to have Mirror correclty implement emptyLayout. I believe that now Mirror should be reimplemented as a LayoutModifier. The second one is needed because LayoutCombinators and LayoutModifiers may need to look at the state or perform IO operation before producing a combined/modified description. If we do not give them this method people will start implementing again combinators and modifier as layouts. Which means that everytime we change the layout implementation we have to change modifiers and combinators too. I'd be quite fed up with that...;) I'm sendin the patch to xmc to be pushed together with this one. Cheers, Andrea Mon Jan 28 01:18:34 CET 2008 Andrea Rossato <andrea.rossato(a)unibz.it> * Make Mirror implement emptyLayout Wed Jan 30 07:40:07 CET 2008 Andrea Rossato <andrea.rossato(a)unibz.it> * move LayoutClass.description to the X monad

Issue 127 in xmonad: PerWorkspace must implement emptyLayout

Issue 127: PerWorkspace must implement emptyLayout http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=127 New issue report by andrea.rossato: I know that PerWorkspace is buggy on multi head setup, still it seems to be quite a popular extension. I reverted it to its previous implementation since the LayoutCombinator class I based it upon in my implementation was inherently bugged due to the Layout semantics. At least this should prevent the submission of bug reports related to the class implementation. Anyway, since this combinator is implemented with the semantics of a Layout, I think that there *must* also be an implementation of the newly introduced emptyLayout method, otherwise this this layout combinator is going to badly break all the new decoration framework, producing bugs reports that can be quite difficult to track. I'd beg Brent to mark this stuff as urgent.

Issue 125: Tabbed layout not working anymore http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=125 Comment #11 by andrea.rossato: I just pushed that patch (well, a cleaner version), also because that issue is not related to this bug report. thanks for helping me solve that bug: I was able to check all unsafe code and left out the safe one for later inspection and I didn't notice LayoutHints and the fact that it was modifying windows' geometry. Finally, I'd suggest you to try your tabbed with the WindowArranger (just change Simplest with (arrangeWindow Simpest): this way you can move and resize windows whose geometry has been changed by the LayoutHints layout modifier (well, the other windows too;). hope this helps -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.

Moving windows to a workspace based on their title / console applications in terminal emulators
by Bastian Schnitzler 31 Jan '08

31 Jan '08

Hi all! For many purposes I am using console applications, like centerim, irssi or mutt. Now when I start xmonad, I'd like to open a bunch of applications (Can I do this via .xinitrc), like firefox, mutt, etc. These should then be moved to a workspace, based on the application running. So when I start an rxvt-Terminal with mutt, I want this to be moved to workspace 3, how can I do this? On top of that I can't figure out how to move gimp to a special workspace. I have setten it to float, but I tried the class names, gimp, Gimp, gimp-2.2 etc. but it won't go to the workspace I want, when I start it. Anyway what is this class name to identify a window? Is it the process name? Thanks in advance, Bastian Schnitzler

Issue 125: Tabbed layout not working anymore http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=125 Comment #9 by andrea.rossato: that's definitely a nice effect, could be a feature too! anyway, if you find it annoying , there's a patch, attached, that will make LayoutHints a decoration aware layout modifier. since I don't correctly understand, yet, how much of my proposed changes will be kept, I'm not pushing this patch. who's going to fix tabbed, can do both. hope this helps, a.

Issue 125: Tabbed layout not working anymore http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=125 Comment #8 by v.dijk.bas: The following layout gives some problems: ------------------------------------------------- ... import qualified XMonad.Layout.LayoutHints as LH import qualified XMonad.Layout.Circle as C import qualified XMonad.Layout.Tabbed as T import qualified XMonad.Layout.Decoration as D import qualified XMonad.Layout.NoBorders as NB import qualified XMonad.Layout.Simplest as S ... myLayout = LH.layoutHints ( tiled ||| Mirror tiled ||| D.decoration D.shrinkText D.defaultTheme T.Tabbed S.Simplest ||| -- Old tabbed layout: -- NB.noBorders -- (T.tabbed D.shrinkText -- D.defaultTheme -- { D.decoHeight = 15 } -- ) ||| C.Circle ) where -- default tiling algorithm partitions the screen into two panes tiled = Tall nmaster delta ratio -- The default number of windows in the master pane nmaster = 1 -- Default proportion of screen occupied by master pane ratio = 1/2 -- Percent of screen to increment by when resizing panes delta = 3/100 ------------------------------------------------- Then open some windows, switch to the decoration layout and hit mod-tab a few times then you get those weird graphical artifacts like invisible tabs and grey area's... Removing 'LH.layoutHints' solves this problem but introduces the problem with xemacs. However the xemacs problem is not so important for me because I hardly use xemacs and I'm sure it can be solved in other ways. I'm more interested in a working tabbed layout.
