darcs patch: generic menu and window bringer
by Travis B. Hartwell 02 Nov '08

02 Nov '08

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I've had to make some patches for XMonadContrib in order to support the new Gtk replacement for dmenu I have written: http://github.com/Nafai77/utilities/tree/master/src/gtkmenu.hs Screenshot here: http://www.travishartwell.net/switcher.png I use these changes by doing this in my xmonad.hs: import XMonad.Actions.WindowBringer (gotoMenu') Then, for example, in a key binding: ("M-w", gotoMenu' "gtkmenu" ) Please let me know if there is a better way to make this generic and clean it up. What I have here compiles and works, so I thought I would submit it. Thanks for the great software and all the help on #xmonad! - -- Travis B.

Offtopic: Get current volume
by Dominik Bruhn 31 Oct '08

31 Oct '08

Hy, the only external programm im using in xmobar is currently a script which runs "aumix" to get my current volume of my alsa-device. Do you know trick to get the current volume from haskell directly (from a /proc or /sys file for example or via a lib) without spawning a external program? Thanks -- Dominik Bruhn mailto: dominik(a)dbruhn.de

xmonad config error
by Guy Wire 30 Oct '08

30 Oct '08

Hello, Thanks all! I took the file offered by Mr. Yorgey and then swapped shiftMaster to swapMaster and that works. I'll try the darc at some other point. _________________________________________________________________ Want to read Hotmail messages in Outlook?

A suggestion for XMonad.
by Andy Stewart 29 Oct '08

29 Oct '08

Hi, everyone! XMonad is great and very stable for me. And I have a little suggestion for XMonad. Can add a keymap (like emacs) to "shell prompt"? So user can customize key bind of "shell prompt", example "Control + m" do same thing as RETURN in "shell prompt". -- Andy.

I removed the line, and now my system is running nicely again. The only thing I notice, is that in the Workspaces overview, there are only symbols for the windows on the currently active window, but I'm not sure if this behavior was there before or not.
