[jv@informatik.uni-bonn.de: xmonad entry for HCAR November 2009]

Can someone revise the HCAR entry? ----- Forwarded message from Janis Voigtländer <jv(a)informatik.uni-bonn.de> ----- Date: Mon, 16 Nov 2009 16:14:46 +0100 From: Janis Voigtländer <jv(a)informatik.uni-bonn.de> To: dons(a)cse.unsw.edu.au Subject: xmonad entry for HCAR November 2009 Dear Don, The xmonad entry for the Haskell Communities and Activities Report is already quite old. I had hoped for an updated entry for the upcoming edition. If you let me know, there is still a bit of time to produce a revision. For reference, below is the old entry. Best regards, Janis. \begin{hcarentry}{xmonad} \label{xmonad} \report{Don Stewart}%05/08 \status{active development} \makeheader xmonad is a tiling window manager for X. Windows are arranged automatically to tile the screen without gaps or overlap, maximizing screen use. Window manager features are accessible from the keyboard: a mouse is optional. xmonad is written, configured, and extensible in Haskell. Custom layout algorithms, key bindings, and other extensions may be written by the user in config files. Layouts are applied dynamically, and different layouts may be used on each workspace. Xinerama is fully supported, allowing windows to be tiled on several physical screens. The new release 0.7 of xmonad added full support for the GNOME and KDE desktops, and adoption continues to grow, with binary packages of xmonad available for all major distributions. \FurtherReading \begin{compactitem} \item Homepage: \url{http://xmonad.org/} \item Darcs source: \texttt{darcs get} \url{http://code.haskell.org/xmonad} \item IRC channel: \verb+#xmonad @ irc.freenode.org+ \item Mailing list: \email{xmonad(a)haskell.org} \end{compactitem} \end{hcarentry} -- Jun.-Prof. Dr. Janis Voigtländer http://www.iai.uni-bonn.de/~jv/ mailto:jv@iai.uni-bonn.de ----- End forwarded message -----

darcs patch: new workspace sorting function in TopicSpace
by Brent Yorgey 11 Apr '10

11 Apr '10

Attached is a patch which adds a new exported function to TopicSpace, appropriate for providing as the ppSort field of a PP DynamicLog record, which sorts workspaces by history. The current facilities provided by TopicSpace for interfacing with DynamicLog are much too monolithic; this patch adds functionality that I want (and which others might find useful) but it really ought to be completely refactored to provide many smaller components that users can assemble however they like. -Brent

darcs patch: Clean .hi and .o files when recompiling
by Joachim Breitner 11 Apr '10

11 Apr '10

Hi, I’d like to see this in the next release, to reduce the delta between xmonad as shipped by debian and as it is on hackage: Wed Sep 9 10:15:57 CEST 2009 Joachim Breitner <mail(a)joachim-breitner.de> * Clean .hi and .o files when recompiling This patch is applied to the Debian packages since a few months. During the last ghc upgrade in Debian, people had to this manually to get their xmonad compilable again. This patch should mitigate this a bit. Greetings, Joachim

Image buttons in title bars
by Alejandro Serrano Mena 09 Apr '10

09 Apr '10

Hi, I've implemented a way to show not only text buttons in titlebars but also image buttons. I attach a patch with the neccessary code, basically some extensions to XMonad.Util.XUtils and XMonad.Layout.Decoration, and a theme which uses the code: XMonad.Layout.ImageButtonDecoration. Thanks in advance.

darcs patch: X.H.UrgencyHook: performance fix
by Tomas Janousek 07 Apr '10

07 Apr '10

Sat Mar 27 21:15:03 CET 2010 Tomas Janousek <tomi(a)nomi.cz> * X.H.UrgencyHook: performance fix cleanupUrgents would update the Map in extensible state 2-times the number of visible windows, resulting in excessive memory usage and garbage collection. This seems to make it behave correctly. Note: this is actually not necessary after the fix to core I just posted, but it should speed things up a little if one has hundreds of visible windows. -- Tomáš Janoušek, a.k.a.

Several new modules (patch flood)
by Quentin Moser 02 Apr '10

02 Apr '10

Hello XMonad, I apologize for the bulk delivery, these are all things I wrote over the last week and I didn't really want to stop coding to send updates (or eat, or sleep, for that matter --). The basic idea was to implement the layout used in wmii. For those not familiar with it: - Windows grouped in resizable columns - Each column has its own sub-layout, either full, vertical or "stacked decoration" - You can of course move windows between columns, create new columns, etc. This gave rise to a number of modules, which the rest of this mail describes. To get a quick idea, you can also look at the few screenshots I put up: http://ceii.posterous.com/new-xmonad-layout. #1: XMonad.Layout.Groups A generic version of the wmii thing: windows arranged into groups, each with its own sub-layout. You provide both the (starting) layout for new groups, and the layout that arranges the groups themselves on the screen. Tis doesn't fit XMonad's layout interface that well, and indeed I ended up having to completely decouple the layout's idea of window ordering from XMonad's. For this reason, the usual swapUp/Down and focusUp/Down don't work here; the Groups module provides messages that can be used instead, and see #2 for a more flexible interface. #2: XMonad.Layout.Groups.Examples You can do a lot of fun things with the Groups combinator, so I put a few examples in a dedicated module. It also contains many useful X actions for Groups layouts, including focusUp/Down, swapUp/Down, etc. actions that work both for them and for standard layouts (using X.A.MessageFeedback). There are three example layouts: - The wmii layout, pretty faithfully cloned with the exception that I was too lazy to write a stacked layout and used tabs instead. The columns are managed by a ZoomRow (#3), so they can be individually resized and/or maximized. - A "row of columns" layout, with both rows and columns using ZoomRows. - A "tiled tabs" layout that arranges windows into tabbed groups, and the groups themselves according to XMonad's default algorithm (Tall ||| Mirror Tall ||| Full) #3: XMonad.Layout.ZoomRow A layout that arranges its windows into a horizontal row, and allows to freely resize each of them using ZoomMessages. #4: XMonad.Layout.Renamed A LayoutModifier and DSL for modifying the description of a layout. This is for when you want to modify a layout with a dynamic description, and using Named would freeze it. #5: XMonad.Util.Stack I ended up doing quite a bit of non-trivial (Maybe Stack) manipulation, so I wrote a separate module for that. It provides maps, folds, filters and the like, as well as the whole focusUp/Down-swapUp/Down-insertUp/Down suite with consistent types. I've been using these for a few pretty active days now but they are by no means fully tested, feedback is welcome.

Re: Issue 361 in xmonad: Layout.Tabbed works like Full when fonts cannot be found

Updates: Summary: Layout.Tabbed works like Full when fonts cannot be found Status: Accepted Labels: Type-Defect Usability Comment #9 on issue 361 by vogt.adam: Layout.Tabbed works like Full when fonts cannot be found http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=361 As Wirt pointed out, the tabbed layout should be more clear about missing fonts, or use fontconfig which is more likely to find a usable font than assumign that -fixed-* is present? -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
