Thanks, it works also for me with: , command = [ ... Run Com "mpc" ["--format %file% | head -n 1"] "" 10, ... ] my mistake was that i hadn't "Com" written in my Run line. --- En date de : Sam 23.5.09, Roman Cheplyaka <roma(a)ro-che.info> a écrit : Here's what I have for xmms2: , commands = [ ...

KPowerSave trouble
by John Goerzen 23 May '09

23 May '09

Hi folks, I've been running xmonad for awhile, and recently decided that I'd like to try it with KDE 4. I followed the various instructions on the wiki, and it worked mostly well. I have the KDE tray thing, whatever it's called now, going. And it works fine with all the KDE and Gnome apps that use it. Except for kpowersave. xmonad wants to give it its own window instead of putting it up in the tray where it belongs. This results in the rather hilarious situation of it getting a giant window for a 64x64 icon. I tried setting it to ignore in my xmonad.hs, but that didn't help. Before I switched to xmonad, kpowersave went into the tray like a nice little app. Any ideas what to do? -- John

mpc output in xmobar
by jean bonhomme 23 May '09

23 May '09

Hello, I would like to pipe this command : echo -n "$(mpc --format "%file%" | head -n 1)" to xmobar. I haven't found any infos on how to do it. I've tried severals methods but without any success. On my best test, I could see the output in ~/.xsession-errors, but that wasn't my goal. When someone knows how to do it, please let me know.

Issue 295 in xmonad: X.A.Submap doesn't work in russian layout.

Some Gnome fit and finish work
by John Yates 21 May '09

21 May '09

I would like to convince work colleagues using recent Ubuntu and RedHat distributions to give a tiling wm a try. For many jarring visuals may be enough to create resistance. Thus I have taken it upon myself to produce a well polished Gnome integration. Here I am posting some results of that work. I started with a vanilla Ubuntu Gnome setup. I dropped the lower Gnome panel and its applets. On the remaining upper panel I included left to right: - a standard Gnome separator applet - the Gnome Window Selector applet - a recent dzen2 build with Xft support, configured to occupy the middle half of the bar and to display only the current window's title in a style identical to the rest of the panel - the Gnome Workspace Switcher applet Attached bar.png exhibits this basic configuration. I particularly like having the Window Selector display the current window's icon to the left of the title. Attached window-selector.png shows the applet in its dropped-down state. The biggest effort was getting a dmenu that looked right on the bar. I know nothing about graphics, font rendering, etc. But between Alexander Polakov's patch for dmenu 3.4 and the example of Robert Manea's xft support in dzen I got it to work (dmenu-4.0-xft.diff). To get a properly sized dmenu bar I had to add a -bh option to configure bar height. Net net effect is a dmenu bar using the same font and colors (see dmenu.png). My xmonad.hs at the moment is utterly sparse but does attempt to simplify the process of accommodating additional themes. /john

Issue 290 in xmonad: Windows are no longer visible but are still there
by codesite-noreply＠google.com 20 May '09

Comment #8 on issue 290 by SpencerJanssen: Windows are no longer visible but are still there http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=290 Yes, that value is reasonable (about 73% opaque). xcompmgr and the X server are responsible for drawing the window, so the bug is in one of those. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
