Comment #13 on issue 19 by amdragon: Investigate a way to allow contrib extensions to use compositing. http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=19 Regarding cairo-compmgr, I've been tinkering with using Cairo from within xmonad and it works quite well. It seems like a good option for drawing once the basic compositing machinery is in place. I've done very little actual implementation of compositing itself, but it seems like things based on "automatic redirection" would be fairly easy to do in xmonad's architecture, though they could benefit from easier access to X events (only the current layout can receive X events) and better timer support for animations (threads perhaps?). However, automatic redirection only lets you access window contents. In order to change the way windows are drawn, we need manual redirection, which places the onus of drawing the entire screen on xmonad and, thus, is a much bigger challenge and would probably require core changes. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.

Issue 305 in xmonad: Copy and paste by middle click does not work

Comment #2 on issue 305 by cptsalek: Copy and paste by middle click does not work http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=305 This is more likely an issue with the configuration of X itself: X needs to know that a three button mouse is in use, which is done in the xorg.conf. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.

Updates: Status: Invalid Comment #1 on issue 305 by SpencerJanssen: Copy and paste by middle click does not work http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=305 I can't reproduce this. Also, xmonad does not touch X11 selection or clipboards in any way. Perhaps this is a bug in lyx or the terminal? -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.

My modular XMonad config
by Mads N Noe 22 Jul '09

22 Jul '09

Hi everyone, Having been using XMonad for about a year, I have finally put myself together to do the last cleanups to my config. You can see it at http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/Xmonad/Config_archive/Mntnoe%27s_xmonad.hs Comments are welcome. I wonder if some of my ideas might be suitable to add to XMC, for instance the "labeled pager" logger for DynamicLog, the application specific border colors and some of the auxiliary functions. Alternately, they could be added as config tips on the wiki. Generally, if we extend the "General xmonad.hs config tips" page to something like the Vim Tips Wiki, people might be encouraged to make and share more XMonad hacks. Submitting darcs patches is scarier than creating a page on a wiki :-) By the way, what is the status of issue 230? Thanks for a great WM, Mads N Noe

Issue 230 in xmonad: Modular config support
by codesite-noreply＠google.com 22 Jul '09

22 Jul '09

Comment #15 on issue 230 by YitzGale: Modular config support http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=230 Here's another idea: if xmonad.hs contains just import XMonad main = useModularConfig then xmonad reloads again using whichever modular config scheme we choose. That does slow things down, but then we can also provide a command-line flag that skips directly to modular without worrying about compatibility issues. We are then free to choose whichever scheme we prefer for modular configuration. We could also arrange things so that if xmonad.hs is not the above, old-style config files would still work as always even with the --modular command line flag. That requirement would slightly limit us in our choice of modular scheme though. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.

xmonad transparency behavior
by Nick Green 22 Jul '09

22 Jul '09

Hello mailing list! I have a sneaking suspicion that this is a "RTFM" question, but I read the FM and didnt notice the answer so... I have set rxvt transparency using the strategy from the faq, but this only works on the 2nd, 3rd, 4th...nth rxvt I have open, i.e. not on the FIRST one I open on a given workspace. I want it to work on all my rxvts, even the first one on given workspace. More specifically i set up transparency as follows. add to xorg.conf: Section "Extensions" Option "Composite" "enable" EndSection add to .Xdefaults URxvt.depth: 32 URxvt*background: rgba:0000/0000/0000/cccc add to .xinitrc xcompmgr -c & Again this works for my the all rxvts open on a given workspace except the first one. However, I have a netbook so i rarely use more than one rxvt on a given workspace, thus this effectively does not work. Any ideas, perhaps "rtfm"s with kind links to which part of the "fm" I missed? Thanks much in advance!

Tall layout question
by paran＠lysator.liu.se 20 Jul '09

20 Jul '09

Hi, I have been using xmonad for a long while now and really like it. Unfortunately Haskell is still mostly a mystery to me, so this might be trivial. I use the Tall Layout, configured like this: myLayout = smartBorders (configurableNavigation noNavigateBorders $ (tiled) ||| Full) where tiled = Tall nmaster delta ratio nmaster = 2 ratio = 1/2 delta = 3/100 This gives me the following layout: 1 window 2 3 4 6 ___________ ___________ ___________ ___________ ___________ | | | | | | | | | | | |----| | | |---------| |----| | |----|----| |----|----| | | | | | | | | | | | |----| ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- When I have 2 windows I would like to split vertically instead. Especially on a widescreen laptop monitor the current layout is not good for things like terminals where I really only need 80 characters. How can I get something like this instead?: ___________ ___________ ___________ ___________ ___________ | | | | | | | | | | | | |----| | | | | | | |----| |----|----| |----|----| | | | | | | | | | | | | |----| ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- If I could somehow set nmaster to 1 when number of windows is less than 4 I guess that would do the trick. Kind Regards, Pär Andersson
