darcs patches for tiled hinted mplayer with fullscreen working
by Tomas Janousek 17 Jun '11

17 Jun '11

Dear xmonad, this is a patch bundle that makes MPlayer happy when not floating, including fullscreen support. This should fix #400. > 2 patches for repository http://code.haskell.org/XMonadContrib: > > Tue Jul 6 20:57:51 CEST 2010 Tomas Janousek <tomi(a)nomi.cz> > * X.H.EwmhDesktops: advertise fullscreen in _NET_SUPPORTED and handle it by default This is a bit questionable, I know. There must have been a reason why fullscreenEventHook isn't used by default, but I feel that it should be advertised only if it's used, so I did it this way. Should ewmh take a flag that can turn off fullscreen support? Is there a way to make the list of supported NETWM props easily extensible? > Tue Jul 6 20:59:25 CEST 2010 Tomas Janousek <tomi(a)nomi.cz> > * X.L.LayoutHints: event hook to refresh on hints change Without this patch, aspect ratio is respected only after a focus change or explicit refresh. That's annoying. -- Tomáš Janoušek, a.k.a. Liskni_si, http://work.lisk.in/

XMonad.Layout.Monitor - ToggleMonitor message not working
by Jochen Keil 12 Jun '11

12 Jun '11

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello, I've been trying to set up XMonad.Layout.Monitor. Instead of the cairo-clock example from the docs I've taken xclock. Unfortunately hiding/showing using the ToggleMonitor message does not work. I've tried to ignore xclock with the doIgnore managehook before the manageMonitor hook. Furthermore I've run xmonad with defaultConfig and only the manageMonitor hook applied. However, neither helped. Any ideas/hints on this issue? Thanks and kind regards, Jochen -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk3ipmYACgkQtVwvsA+W4CCClQCggZ7yVCxaU8kHqbNG+5V4N8jt WzIAn0uIjlcTf5Xutdw/RGdKA9bsDUSd =CC4l -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

"xmonad-desktop"
by Jens Petersen 09 Jun '11

09 Jun '11

Hi, I made a simple little package called xmonad-desktop to make it easier for newcomers to get started with xmonad on desktop environments. https://github.com/juhp/xmonad-desktop Before releasing it on hackage I thought I would "pre-announce" it here for any comments or feedback. Thanks, Jens

darcs patches: Cleanup in X.L.LayoutBuilderP and a new module for xmonad-extras
by Ilya Portnov 09 Jun '11

09 Jun '11

Hi again. The first patch removes (unused there) datatype declaration from X.L.LayoutBuilderP module, and exports Predicate typeclass from it. instance Predicate p w declaration means that "p" type may be used as (monadic) predicate on "w" type. Obvious example is instance Predicate Property Window. Other examples could represent some predicates on window groups or smth else. The second patch is for xmonad-extras repository. It adds new module, XMonad.Util.WindowPropertiesRE. PropertyRE is almost same as X.U.WindowProperties.Property, but while Property needs exact string (title/window class/whatever) matching, PropertyRE uses regular expressions matching. For example, Title "#xmonad" matches only windows having exactly "#xmonad" in title, but RE (Title "xmonad") matches windows with titles "xmonad(a)conference.jabber.ru" and "#xmonad" and so on. Also X.U.WindowPropertiesRE module contains instance declaration for Predicate PropertyRE Window. To use regular expression, I added build-depend from "regex-posix" package into xmonad-extras.cabal. WBR, Ilya Portnov.

[patch] output exitcode when no xmonad.error output
by Jens Petersen 09 Jun '11

09 Jun '11

Hi, If xmonad is running without ghc installed for some reason and one tries to restart it (mod-q), the recompile error dialog doesn't contain any useful error message from execv (it fails silently when it can't find the command). Here is a small patch to output the exitcode when compilation fails and xmonad.error is empty. Jens

Gnome3 and xmonad
by Magnus Therning 07 Jun '11

07 Jun '11

Gnome3 just hit my distribution and after the upgrade from Gnome2 I no longer get xmonad on login :( There are many things I like about Gnome3 and the shell, but I've gotten really used to xmonad, manipulating windows via the keyboard, and most importantly I love the tiling window placement. I can't seem to find any description of using xmonad with Gnome3, is there any? /M -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: magnus(a)therning.org jabber: magnus(a)therning.org twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus Most software today is very much like an Egyptian pyramid with millions of bricks piled on top of each other, with no structural integrity, but just done by brute force and thousands of slaves. -- Alan Kay

Issue 439 in xmonad: suggestion: CycleWS should export the screenBy function
by codesite-noreply＠google.com 07 Jun '11

07 Jun '11

Status: New Owner: ---- New issue 439 by linusar...(a)gmail.com: suggestion: CycleWS should export the screenBy function http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=439 Reference: http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/xmonad/2011-January/011029.html From a Haskell perspective, if CycleWS exports the screenBy function, then a user can go from (the default): -- mod-{w,e,r}, Switch to physical/Xinerama screens 1, 2, or 3 -- mod-shift-{w,e,r}, Move client to screen 1, 2, or 3 -- [((m .|. modm, key), screenWorkspace sc >>= flip whenJust (windows . f)) | (key, sc) <- zip [xK_w, xK_e, xK_r] [0..] , (f, m) <- [(W.view, 0), (W.shift, shiftMask)]] to the more flexible -- mod-{w,e}, Switch to previous/next Xinerama screen -- mod-shift-{w,e}, Move client to previous/next Xinerama screen -- [((m .|. modm, key), (screenWorkspace =<< sc) >>= flip whenJust (windows . f)) | (key, sc) <- zip [xK_w, xK_e] [(screenBy (-1)),(screenBy 1)] , (f, m) <- [(W.view, 0), (W.shift, shiftMask)]] It surprises me that such a useful little function is not exported already. So, the patch is a one-liner change: --- CycleWS.hs 2011-02-21 20:48:25.000000000 -0800 +++ CycleWS-new.hs 2011-03-06 13:53:10.000000000 -0800 @@ -56,6 +56,7 @@ , shiftPrevScreen , swapNextScreen , swapPrevScreen + , screenBy -- * Moving between workspaces, take two! -- $taketwo
