Layout for GIMP. How to?
by Khudyakov Alexey 03 Jun '09

03 Jun '09

Hello I'm trying to create layout for Gimp. It's program which really asked for clever layout and otherwise not very usable. First I've tried Nathan's layout based on nested IMs [1]. However it didn't worked well. 1. There is only one window in side panels (Layers etc). If I open two dock windows one of them goes into main working area. 2. If I open two image windows and move mouse cursor to toolbox one of windows always gets in front. Observed only with Full layout. How should it work in my opinion. Screen is separated in three vertical areas. Left is for tools. Center is working area. Right for docks. Right and central area has own layouts. Center must have way to change layouts. Other ideas are welcome too. [1] http://nathanhowell.net/2009/03/08/xmonad-and-the-gimp/ -- Khudyakov Alexey

Sat May 30 20:54:37 CEST 2009 Anders Engstrom <ankaan(a)gmail.com> * FlexibleResize - Resize from edge, don't move adjust at opposite edge When resizing other corners than bottom-right, instead of adjusting to even columns/rows on the opposite side to it the same way as if resizing was made from the bottom right. Also add the possibility to add an area in the middle of an edge where only that edge is resized, not the closest corner.

Summary of unapplied patches: XMonad core
by Gwern Branwen 27 May '09

27 May '09

It's that time of the month again, where we gander at http://darcswatch.nomeata.de/repo_http:__code.haskell.org_xmonad.html and see what patches yet wander mournfully the outer dark! # Core - 20080512200857: add warpGeometry field to XConf by Lukas Mai <l.mai(a)web.de> This has been outstanding for a year now. Is it rejected? Accepted? I've cc'd Lukas, maybe he knows more. But still, a year with no resolution of a patch doesn't reflect well on our process. - 20080516200947: quick hack to avoid infinite (but breakable) loop when using Tabbed. by David Roundy <droundy(a)darcs.net> I'm marking this as rejected. Spencer weighed in with some arcane X11 issue that rendered it unsuitable and Dr. Roundy seemed to agree, so... - 20080605045423: pass mouse clicks on to focused windows (experimental) by Lukas Mai <l.mai(a)web.de> No comments, as with Lukas's other patch. - 20080622151804: Use threadWaitRead to avoid blocking in nextEvent in the main loop by Adam Sampson <ats(a)offog.org> An amended version which fixed an objection by Brandon. No comments on the amended version... - 20080715143436: keyActions moved to XState by Marco Túlio Gontijo e Silva <marcot(a)riseup.net> Another old stalwart of the patch-review email. My email a few months ago soliciting comments on this received no reply. - 20081008162906: Switch screen for leaveNotify events by Joachim Breitner <mail(a)joachim-breitner.de> No comments on Joachim's patch. - 20081008164506: change screen by clicking on an empty screen by Joachim Breitner <mail(a)joachim-breitner.de> Spencer apparently pushed a similar patch. I've marked it obsolete. - 20081125211944: Correctly implement section 4.1.7 of ICCCM by Roman Cheplyaka <roma(a)ro-che.info> Apparently blocked on a getWMHints patch than Roman needs to send? - 20081213210602: Grab all keycodes linked to each keysym, not just one by svein.ove(a)aas.no byorgey asked Svein what the purpose of this patch was. Svein has yet to answer. I'm leaning towards marking this one rejected - Svein has had almost half a year to reply. - 20090111185253: Support for custom X Event handler by Daniel Schoepe <asgaroth_(a)gmx.de> A little confusing. Spencer says he applied it, but when I look at my local repo, the only similar patch by Daniel that I see is 'Support for custom event hooks'. Did Spencer apply something else? - 20090114215556: Replaced custom forever_ by library function by Daniel Schoepe <asgaroth_(a)gmx.de> The discussion of this centered on how it broke on some ancient GHC being used in Debian stable and the old BSDs (GHC 6.6, specifically, I think). Inasmuch as no one has stepped up to the plate to unbreak xmonad & xmonadcontrib on 6.6, I think this should be applied; it's not worsening the situation, and it makes the source better. - 20090320024624: man_xmonad.hs: import Data.Monoid for mempty, keybinding edits by wirtwolff(a)gmail.com Spencer says he applied it, but again, I don't see any trace of it locally. Did we change repos from http://code.haskell.org/xmonad and someone not tell me? :) - 20090321232907: Add lib to ghc searchpath with recompilation check by Adam Vogt <vogt.adam(a)gmail.com> Another lonely patch with no comments or review. - 20090424012750: Use System.FilePath.(</>) instead of (++ "/" ++) in Core.hs by Adam Vogt <vogt.adam(a)gmail.com> Ditto. - 20090503235415: Only watch mtime for .hs, .lhs, .hsc for ~/.xmonad/lib by Adam Vogt <vogt.adam(a)gmail.com> Ditto. - 20090321233736: Pester the user with one (not two) xmessages on config errors by Adam Vogt <vogt.adam(a)gmail.com> Another lonely patch. It sounds good to me, and the change seems reasonable. - 20090408185956: Use window's border width in floatLocation by Daniel Schoepe <asgaroth_(a)gmx.de> Spencer seemed to think this would break as much as it fixed; so I've marked it rejected. - 20090516104753: Fix for Tall documentation by Khudyakov Alexey <alexey.skladnoy(a)gmail.com> Amended doc bug fix. Doesn't seem to be any reason it hasn't been applied. -- gwern

darcs patch: FloatSnap - calculate gaps instead of snapping against...
by Anders Engstrom 27 May '09

27 May '09

Wed May 27 00:29:42 CEST 2009 Anders Engstrom <ankaan(a)gmail.com> * FloatSnap - calculate gaps instead of snapping against unmanaged windows This patch will remove snapping against unmanaged windows, but instead calculate a new rectangle with all gaps (computed by ManageDocks) removed. This new rectangle is used to snap against. (Both the inside and outside of the rectangle.) This will remedy the issue of snapping against multiple layers of the same window, additionally there will be no snap-points between windows on the same side. So if you are running two dzen side by side with half the screen each. You will not automatically have a snap-point in the middle. Naturally, this patch will change which function is exported from ManageDocks.

How to diagnose programs not launching?
by Joseph Garvin 26 May '09

26 May '09

I have a key set to runOrRaise "firefox3". Recently, it stopped working and I can't figure out why. Running firefox3 manually from the shell works fine, just not the shortcut. Is there a way to see what errors xmonad is receiving when it tries to run the command? I already tried looking at .xmonad/xmonad.errors, it just says: on the commandline: Warning: -no-recomp is deprecated: Use -fforce-recomp instead Which I suspect is related to xmonad rather than my firefox call.

Issue 19 in xmonad: Investigate a way to allow contrib extensions to use compositing.
by codesite-noreply＠google.com 25 May '09

25 May '09

Comment #11 on issue 19 by nmarshall23: Investigate a way to allow contrib extensions to use compositing. http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=19 * The best what to add composition would be to switch from xlib to xcb. xcb is reported to be faster. Haskell bindings for xcb can be found here: http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/xhb More info about xcb: http://xcb.freedesktop.org/ I am new to Haskell, thanks xmonad for introducing / making me obsessed.. Other wise I would be tempted to try. -- 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] mpc output in xmobar
by jean bonhomme 24 May '09

Thanks, It works perfect! I've adapted Roman Cheplyaka's answer to my case, it works also good, but after a while, I've noticed that it writes to xmobar and also to ~/.xsession-errors, maybe I've missed something. Later, I've seen your answer, tried it and saw it writes only to xmobar and not to ~/.xsession-errors anymore so I keep it. --- En date de : Sam 23.5.09, Johannes Höhn a écrit : , Run Com "bash" ["~/system/mpc.sh"] "mpc" 10 worked fine for me with #! /bin/sh echo -n "$(mpc --format "%file%" | head -n 1)"
