Comment #1 on issue 312 by vogt.adam: [improvement] MosaicAlt: change tall/wide http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=312 MosaicAlt selects the layout in the manner you describe. You could also try the Mosaic layout in darcs contrib. It generates a set of possible arrangments in a similar manner as MosaicAlt, but the keybindings for the aspect ratio affect the overall / average aspect ratio for all windows, rather than the target ratio for the focused window. There are other differences between the two layouts, so following up on this problem with MosaicAlt is probably worthwhile. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.

Popup origin
by Donald Allen 09 Sep '09

09 Sep '09

I'm new to xmonad, but not to tiling window managers, having used dwm for a time (I got tired of the sometimes unruly-junior-high-school-boy character of discussion on their mailing list, though this does not apply to Anselm himself, who is unfailingly polite). So I'm giving xmonad a try, and so far, so good. I do have one issue, however. I have a pair of systems that share (via a dvm) a Lenovo display with a 16/9 aspect ratio. On that display, popup dialogs, such as the file-chooser that appears during file-download operations in Firefox, are positioned too low on the screen, resulting the in the bottom of the dialog being cut off (this is not an issue on my older Thinkpad G41 with a 1400x1050 display). Is there a way to specify the origin of popup windows via the configuration system? I should mention that I'm running OpenBSD 4.5 Release on all these systems and xmonad 0.7, which is the version Release 4.5 provides as a package. So I'm aware that there is a newer version of xmonad. (I've had no success trying to build the newer version with the ghc compiler and libraries Release 4.5 provides.) So, it's possible this issue has been addressed in the newer version. Thanks in advance for any help -- /Don Allen

Issue 314 in xmonad: Investigate merging SmartBorders to core
by codesite-noreply＠google.com 09 Sep '09

09 Sep '09

Status: Accepted Owner: SpencerJanssen Labels: Milestone-Release0.9 Type-Enhancement New issue 314 by SpencerJanssen: Investigate merging SmartBorders to core http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=314 Enabling the SmartBorders extension is the first step we suggest users take to make proper borderless fullscreen floating windows work. However, SmartBorders has a few problems: * It depends on LayoutModifier, which is a rather ugly bit of code. It would need some help to be up to core's standard of elegance, I think. * SmartBorder's behavior on non-floating windows may be controversial. An alternative is to remove the fullscreen floating logic from SmartBorders and implement it directly in core. This has the annoyance of being less general, but will probably be simpler.

Status: New Owner: ---- New issue 312 by OrbisVicis: [improvement] MosaicAlt: change tall/wide http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=312 What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Use MosaicAlt 2. Apply tallWindowAlt/wideWindowAlt 3. First several applications have no affect What is the expected output? What do you see instead? MosaicAlt probably increments the tallness or width of an application window by a fixed amount. Often first increments dont produce enough change to effect a layout modification. What should happen: application of tallness/width immediately jumps to the next possible layout What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? xmonad 0.8.1 xmonad-contrib 0.8.1 archlinux -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.

XMonad is not playing well with floating windows
by Massimo Gengarelli 09 Sep '09

09 Sep '09

Hi everyone, I'm quite new to XMonad and haskell itself, so I really don't know if it's a problem of my configuration file or it's the default behaviour of XMonad. Everytime I make a window floating, the tiled windows in background swap between themselves, without any reason or fixed rule. If I replace them in the order I want, they re-swap as soon as I move/resize the floated window. I'm using Linux Gentoo and XMonad 0.8.1. Thanks in advance. -- Massimo Gengarelli <massimo.gengarelli(a)gmail.com> Computer Science student @ http://www.unibo.it . http://massitm.sohead.org <-- my personal, outdated, website. Do you guys know what you're doing, or are you just hacking?
