Issue 277 in xmonad: Red border on two windows

Comment #6 on issue 277 by lykahb: Red border on two windows http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=277 I have x86_64 machine based on Asus AM2 690G. GHC installed as a dependency for XMonad has 6.8.2 version. Setting borderColors does not help - I just get two green borders. I played with bigger number of windows and found more general steps to reproduce - bug occurs when you move window that is in the rightest position of subordinate area to the left with mod-shift-k. I got the attached picture with 2.5 borders but I cannot reproduce the situation. Perhaps it points that the bug is due to interaction with X.

xmonad darcs, haddock, ghc and Ubuntu Intrepid
by Kathryn Andersen 25 Feb '09

25 Feb '09

I'm running Ubuntu Intrepid (8.10) and I'd like to switch from the default xmonad (0.8) to the xmonad in darcs. The ghc version is 6.8.2, which I gather is okay, but the haddock version is the ancient 0.8 version, which is not. However, if I try to remove haddock (in order to replace it with a newer version) apt then removes ghc as well! Any tips as to how to get around this?

Issue 278 in xmonad: quick xmonad restart is not enough to make IM layout work

Comment #1 on issue 278 by Braden.Shepherdson: quick xmonad restart is not enough to make IM layout work http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=278 This is likely to be a problem where the layouts are not always fully updated on a mod+q. After doing a mod+q, try pressing mod+shift+space and seeing if that updates things properly. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.

Re: [xmonad] New XMonadContrib module: IndependentScreens

My module changes that (sort of). The shared workspace pool is the thing I love most about xmonad! I was thinking of writing my own window manager to get just that feature when xmonad was released (and I was already a haskeller). It annoys me to no end how nearly every "virtual desktop" implementation treats multiple monitors as one desktop. Does your module segregate the workspaces into monitor-specific sets, that can still be switched independently? -- Fred

New XMonadContrib module: IndependentScreens
by Don Stewart 24 Feb '09

24 Feb '09

Forwarded from the offlist buffer: Date: Sat, 21 Feb 2009 19:06:20 -0500 From: wagnerdm(a)seas.upenn.edu Subject: New XMonadContrib module: IndependentScreens Hey all, I've written a short contrib module to scratch an itch I've had even since jcreigh made the first Xinerama support. I like dwm's module, where workspaces on different screens are conceptually distinct, even if they have the same name. Now XMonad.Layout.IndependentScreens makes that possible. Many thanks to Brent Yorgey, who sat next to me and helped me get it into a releasable state. =) (There's no patch attached; Brent applied it for me.) ~d P.S. I'm not actually on this list, so be sure any complaints have daniel(a)wagner-home.com somewhere in the to: line. ;-)

Comment #5 on issue 277 by wirtwolff: Red border on two windows http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=277 Can confirm intrepid (ubuntu 8.10) does install xmonad-0.8 rather than 0.8.1, however those differences only apply to x86_64 ghc-6.10 users, and intrepid's on 6.8.2. Still can't reproduce this here. Dist upgraded ubuntu box to intrepid. Tried with clean install of xmonad package only: Could not reproduce using either the XMonad gdm session or .xsession method of replacing metacity. Ensured default installed binary was used. I.e. had no ~/.xmonad, much less xmonad.hs (also no xmonad.conf xmonad-light config.) Then installed libghc6-xmonad and libghc6-xmonad-contrib and tried with no xmonad.hs, with default xmonad.hs, and with a basic Config.Gnome xmonad.hs similar to the attached xmonad.hs, but borders behaved normally with these, too. Yes, don't see how the xmonad.hs has anything to do with this, would have to set both focused and unfocusedBorderColor red to get this effect by normal means. All the explanations I can think of are pretty bizarre. Explicitly setting the border colors should work regardless. If even that doesn't work and the xmonad.hs is truly getting recompiled, (check with 'xmonad --recompile' in terminal if any doubt), then I guess maybe time to look at bizarre ideas. , focusedBorderColor = "green3" , normalBorderColor = "gray10" -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.

Comment #4 on issue 277 by lykahb: Red border on two windows http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=277 I have already modified my xmonad.hs to make it work with Gnome and make borders thicker. The bug appears not only when I open terminals but with usual windows as well. When I use Xmonad without Gnome bug also appears. I attached screenshot of this bug and xmonad.hs Attachments: Screenshot.png 71.2 KB xmonad.hs 361 bytes -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.

Comment #3 on issue 277 by lykahb: Red border on two windows http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=277 I think my xmonad.hs is not interesting because I did not modify it. I just installed XMonad from Ubuntu 8.10 repository. To dons00: it is not 0.8.1, xmonad --version shows 0.8 -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.

New layout Patch (Cross)
by Luis Cabellos 23 Feb '09

23 Feb '09

Hello, I just added a new layout, with a main window in the center of the screen and the rest on the sides of main window, as a cross configuration. It's similar layout to Circle, but in Cross the focused window always is on top and in the center. -- LC, ("Gravity is a habit that is hard to shake off." - Terry Prachett)
