[patch] Added focusMaster to BoringWindows
by Jan Vornberger 15 Oct '09

15 Oct '09

Hey! This is a little patch to add 'focusMaster' to BoringWindows. If used instead of the normal StackSet.focusMaster it will focus the master window unless it's 'boring' in which case the next non-boring window will be focused. While working on the patch, I noticed that the core provides focusUp' and focusDown' that work on a Stack rather than an entire StackSet, but there is no focusMaster' which would do the same thing. As I needed something like that for the modification, I added it to the core. The patch for this is also attached. But I can also do it without touching the core, if something speaks against that. Regards! Jan

darcs patch: Add more warnings when compiling configs.
by Adam Vogt 14 Oct '09

14 Oct '09

Wed Oct 14 19:53:36 EDT 2009 Adam Vogt <vogt.adam(a)gmail.com> * Add more warnings when compiling configs. -fwarn-hi-shadowing helps will give some idea where to start when somebody tries to write a variation of an existing contrib module and runs into trouble when ghc doesn't consider the types in ~/.xmonad/lib/XMonad/Blah.hs to be the same as the one defined in contrib XMonad.Blah. -W is primarily there to help track down errors that happen when users define something in their config but end up not using it. These warnings aren't presented via xmessage unless there is a different error, but they show up in ~/.xmonad/xmonad.errors

Flip workspaces using a multihead display
by Ones Self 14 Oct '09

14 Oct '09

Hi, I use two monitors on my machine. I often find that I'd like to switch the workspace on the right with the one on the left, and the left with the right. This currently takes two key strokes which change depending on which side I happen to be focused on, and which workspaces I'm currently viewing. Which is annoying. Can I add a single key stroke to achieve this? Thanks, -- "I know you think you understand what you thought I said but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant" -- Alan Greenspan

[patch] Selective modifier
by Max Rabkin 14 Oct '09

14 Oct '09

Hi This patch adds a layout modifier which limits the number of windows visible, but in a "smarter" (and possibly more useful) way than the LimitWindows modifiers. It displays the first nMaster windows (in my use this corresponds to the master pane of Tall) and nRest other windows, in such a way that the focussed window is always visible, but if focus moves to another visible window then nothing moves. It should be merged into LimitWindows, but I'm putting it out there. I'll eventually merge it myself, if nobody else does. Cheers, Max

Patch: improved support for replacing an existing window manager

Hi there! First patch from Bluetile's repository for consideration to go into xmonad mainline. This is the original patch (see http://osdir.com/ml/xmonad@haskell.org/2009-05/msg00010.html) plus two more patches, which * make this take effect only if the '--replace' flag is given * add a config option 'alwaysReplace' to override the --replace flag Best regards!

by Jan Vornberger 11 Oct '09

In preparation of sending patches for Bluetile's floating layout, this is a layout modifier that can be used to resize windows. It could actually be useful on its own if you use X.L.WindowArranger Mon Oct 12 00:22:14 CEST 2009 Jan Vornberger <jan.vornberger(a)informatik.uni-oldenburg.de> * Layout modifier to resize windows by dragging their borders with the mouse

Issue 177 in xmonad: xmonad does not follow ICCCM and ignores WM_TAKE_FOCUS protocol
by codesite-noreply＠google.com 10 Oct '09

10 Oct '09

Comment #17 on issue 177 by gereedy: xmonad does not follow ICCCM and ignores WM_TAKE_FOCUS protocol http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=177 The xev problem was because I didn't handle the case where the input hint field of WMHints wasn't set properly. This updated patchset takes care of that problem.
