xmonad-fork

I came across this today linked in #darcs: http://physics.oregonstate.edu/~roundyd/codes.php "xmonad-fork xmonad-fork is a modified version of the xmonad window manager that I use. You can get a copy of the source with darcs get http://physics.oregonstate.edu/~roundyd/code/xmonad-fork" 'twould seem Andrea and David have been collaborating extensively on xmonad (by my count, there ~106 patches in this repo not present in core/xmc). Some of them look interesting, but others deal with internals I'm not very familiar with. -- gwern

Question about using things in xmonad-contrib-bluetilebranch-0.8.1.2
by Amy de Buitléir 31 Aug '09

31 Aug '09

Hi, This is a n00b question, so if there's a more appropriate place to ask it, please let me know. I installed Xmonad yesterday and am thrilled with the speed, simplicity, and how much control it gives me. I really want to try out GridSelect for switching between windows, but it's in a hidden package (which installed using cabal). I'm new to Haskell as well as to XMonad, so I'm having a little trouble figuring out how to deal with this. If I do... ghc ~/.xmonad/xmonad.hs ...then I get: Failed to load interface for `XMonad.Actions.GridSelect': it is a member of the hidden package `xmonad-contrib-bluetilebranch-0.8.1.2' Use -v to see a list of the files searched for. And if I do... ghc -package xmonad-contrib-bluetilebranch-0.8.1.2 ~/.xmonad/xmonad.hs ...then I get: Failed to load interface for `XMonad.Util.EZConfig': it was found in multiple packages: xmonad-contrib-bluetilebranch-0.8.1.2 xmonad-contrib-0.8.1 Is there a way tell it to take GridSelect from the bluetilebranch package, but everything else from the regular package? Thank you in advance. Amy

Issue 232 in xmonad: SetWMName does not seem to be sucessfull

Comment #9 on issue 232 by quesel: SetWMName does not seem to be sucessfull http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=232 I had the same issue with the EwmhDesktop loghook and from the irc channel came the suggestion to use ewmhDesktopsLogHook >> setWMName "LG3D" as part of my logHook which works fine. Maybe you could do something similar instead of changing the logHook... -- 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] How to swap screen in a multihead environment?

I'm using this in my key configuration: -- Cycle recent (not visible) workspaces, tab is next, escape previous in history , let options w = map (W.greedyView `flip` w) (hiddenTags w) in ("M-<Tab>" , cycleWindowSets options [xK_Super_L] xK_Tab xK_Escape) -- Cycle through visible screens, a is next, s previous , let options w = map (W.view `flip` w) (visibleTags w) in ("M-a" , cycleWindowSets options [xK_Super_L] xK_a xK_s) -- Swap visible workspaces on current screen, s is next, d previous , let options w = map (W.greedyView `flip` w) (visibleTags w) in ("M-s" , cycleWindowSets options [xK_Super_L] xK_s xK_d) The first one cycles through the hidden workspaces on the current screen. The second one will change the focus on the screens and the last one is finally what you're looking for: cycle through the visible workspaces on the current screen. I put them all in here since its basicly three times the same function with different behaviour, and they're all nice to have. Just remember, you have to release the xK_Super_L key (or w/e key you're going to use) before running any other command again. Nils / McManiaC
