On mac os the window boundaries are sometimes drawn, sometimes not, and sometimes partially.
by Ryan Newton 31 Oct '10

I haven't figured out exactly when each situation occurs... but one thing is for certain, if I'm doing full screen X11.app and switch to a different app then come back, the borders don't get redrawn. I can press mod+space to get them to refresh manually, but they're not always drawn correctly even then. Sometimes there will be partial-borders drawn around part of a window. Any hints on where to start looking to figure out this problem? -Ryan

darcs patch: X.L.Maximize: Make layout forget maximized window when...
by Norbert Zeh 29 Oct '10

29 Oct '10

1 patch for repository http://code.haskell.org/XMonadContrib: Fri Oct 29 19:15:51 ADT 2010 Norbert Zeh <nzeh(a)cs.dal.ca> * X.L.Maximize: Make layout forget maximized window when it is closed The X.L.Maximize layout modifier does not track whether the window it stores as maximized does still exist. The X server reuses window IDs. As a result, I was able to reproduce the following behaviour (e.g., by opening and closing xpdf windows): Create a window, maximize it, close it without restoring it to its normal state. Open a new window with the same window ID (e.g., an xpdf window after just closing an xpdf window). The new window will open maximized, which is not what one would expect. This patch addresses this problem, removing the ID of the maximized window from the layout when the maximized window is closed.

Comment #26 on issue 4 by vogt.adam: Separate focus for tiled and floating layers http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=4 I forgot that LayoutModifier has an addition, this is a version that's compatible with xmonad contrib 0.9 (if the problem you pasted the only one). http://hpaste.org/40631/aavogt

Announcement: xmonad-extras 0.9.1 released
by Daniel Schoepe 29 Oct '10

29 Oct '10

This is mainly a compatability release, because I forgot to add upper version bounds on the dependencies in the previous release, which caused a build failure due to a new version of the libmpd-bindings. This version also adds XMonad.Config.Alt by Adam Vogt, a new, experimental approach to configuring xmonad that is intended to make the configuration simpler, more modular and to address difficulties that arise when enabling multiple extensions. Hackage: http://hackage.haskell.org/package/xmonad-extras-0.9.1 Documentation is available at: http://projects.haskell.org/xmonad-extras/

Moving xmonad.org to a new server
by David Lazar 25 Oct '10

25 Oct '10

I am the owner of the xmonad.org domain and I host the xmonad website. The time has come to move xmonad.org to a new server. I am assuming the website is exactly the darcs repository located here: http://code.haskell.org/~sjanssen/xmonad-web/. Please let me know if this is not the case. This move will also let us do more with the website besides serving static pages. Cheers, David

20 Oct '10

Hi! Is there any hook or something else to execute some action (function) on every workspace changing event? I want xmonad to remove current workspace right after I leav it if it is empty. P.S.: Sorry for my english.

TabBarDecoration - Default vs Custom resize bug?
by Ethan Schoonover 19 Oct '10

19 Oct '10

I struggled with Layout.Tabbed for quite a while... its performance with more than a couple tabs was sluggish and I couldn't get it to improve. Layout.TabBarDecoration is *much* more responsive. Almost no lag changing tabs. Awesome! Thanks Andrea Rossato. I miss some of the flexibility of Layout.Tabbed, but I'll sacrifice it for the speed of TabBarDecoration. My only question about Layout.TabBarDecoration is whether the following behavior is intentional or a bug? BUG? ----------------------------- When I use *simpleTabBar*, it automatically invokes XMonad.Layout.ResizeScreen.resizeVertical with a fixed value of 20. When using the custom tabBar function, however, it doesn't resize the screen properly, regardless of whether I assign a decoHeight in the theme. I can work around this by applying ResizeScreen myself in my layoutHook but it looked to me like this might be something missing in the TabBarDecoration module? I am very probably missing something obvious, so feel free to school me on this one... -es Ethan Schoonover
