Issue 205: I would like wiggling mouse to select window its over. http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=205 Comment #3 by brian.brunswick: Yes. The habit and expectation that has built up with focus-follows-mouse is that as soon as the mouse is visible, that's the focused window. I pay more attention to the mouse pointer than I do to the coloured border. Its actually disconcerting that this is no longer true immediately after a workspace switch, for however long it is before the mouse crosses a window boundary. I'm suggesting changing the /cross-a-window-boundary/ test with some movement threshold, which is actually /more/ predictable as user interface behaviour than finding a window boundary, a variable distance away. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.

Patch for xmobar: who to mail?
by Dominik Bruhn 07 Sep '08

07 Sep '08

Hy, I got a (i hope) great patch for the Mail-Plugin of xmobar and I want to share it. Who should is willing to have a look at the code and the documentation, as my haskell-knowledge is not very good and the documentation might contain some errors. I think it might be usuable for others so perhaps (I dont know the policy for this) the darcs patch could be applied to the rep. So: Who can have a look and who can apply? Thanks -- Dominik Bruhn mailto: dominik(a)dbruhn.de

This transfers focus, and if your preferred solution would already have your hand on the mouse, then this is a pretty straightforward solution. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.

Issue 214 in xmonad: mouse shift with java

Issue 214: mouse shift with java http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=214 Comment #1 by Braden.Shepherdson: This sounds to me like a badly-coded Java app that is using absolute coordinates and just leaving space for where it assumes a title bar to be. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.

Issue 214: mouse shift with java http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=214 New issue report by girodt: > What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. launch greenfoot (http://www.greenfoot.org/download/) 2. try out the drop-down and the contextual menus for the dropdown menus, the mouse influence is heavily shifted from the actual mouse position. for the contextual menus, the whole menu is shifted away from where it should appear, in concordance with mouse influence. I tried to run the program in fluxbox to give it a try, and everything seems to be in place. It looks like this vertical shift is linked to the height of the (non-existing) status-bar of the window. I'm really outside of my area here, but I'm wondering if Java/SWING is making a call to the WM to gather informations that will allow it to calculate the mouse coordinates relative to the window's space. > What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? xmonad-0.7 + xmonad-contrib-0.7 on archlinux Issue attributes: Status: New Owner: ---- Labels: Type-Defect Priority-Medium -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.

I understand. I also thought of that solution, and I think the code is still there, but I haven't even tried, since that would be only a temporal workaround if the code is going to be deprecated soon. However, there were some other concerns. I thikn that conky was leaking memory or something. That and a few other annoyances made me switch. I now use a couple of gkrellms on the right side of one of my monitors to monitor a couple of boxes, and all is fine. I keep one dzen on the top for my windows, layouts and workspaces. So, after all I found a suitable solution for me. Thanks for the response. -- Jesús Guerrero <i92guboj(a)terra.es>
