Xmonad+dzen2+two monitors
by Robert Sawko 08 Oct '12

08 Oct '12

Hello again, the second little issue that troubles me is how make dzen2 display selected workspaces on my two monitors. The relevant line in my setup is this: myXmonadBar = "dzen2 -x '95' -y '0' -h '30' -w '1900' -ta 'l' -fg '#FFFFFF' -bg '#1B1D1E'" And this is really nice. My current workspace is highlighted and also "active" workspaces i.e. workspaces with applications on them are highlighted. But there is no way to distinguish which workspace is the current workspace on the other monitor. xmobar was putting parenthesis automatically which was really good and helpful. Is there anyway to tell dzen2 how to highlight current workspaces on my separate monitors. Please advise, Robert -- A way to reduce entropy: know everything: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxwell%27s_Demon

XMonad.Config.Prime, a monadic config syntax
by Devin Mullins 04 Oct '12

04 Oct '12

Hello, folks. Loooong time no see. I had some free time and spare energy this weekend, and this one had always been curiousing me. A couple things: 1. I `darcs rec`d with --no-test, since Minimize was complaining about a shadowed identifier. 2. This adds new build deps on fclabels and template-haskell. I know y'all are generally fairly conservative on new deps. What do you think? 3. Here's a live copy of the haddock doc: http://twifkak.com/xmonad-junk/XMonad-Config-Prime.html Sun Sep 23 22:57:31 PDT 2012 Devin Mullins <me(a)twifkak.com> * XMonad.Config.Prime, a monadic config syntax This is an attempt at a cleaner and more modular config syntax, a follow up to http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.haskell.xmonad/5398. (Hello, everybody! How have the last four years been?) FAQ: Why fclabels instead of data-lens? Of the two, it was the one that successfully compiled on my ancient Ubuntu Lucid machine when I ran `cabal install`. Ick, template-haskell? Really? Yeah, I know. Unfortunately, it seems that GHC won't let me write: > data L = forall l. L l > g f (L l) = L (f l) so I can't really make a generic Layout transformer. I spent a few minutes heading down the path of parameterized monads and NoImplicitPrelude, but the type-system mind games and the juggling between (Prelude.>>) for IO and (Control.Monad.Parameterized.>>) for state were melting my brain.

Re: Issue 4 in xmonad: Separate focus for tiled and floating layers
by codesite-noreply＠google.com 01 Oct '12

Comment #34 on issue 4 by vogt.adam: Separate focus for tiled and floating layers http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=4 I see how TrackFloating is still unsatisfactory. Perhaps xmonad (and the modified layout) focus should be modified only when focus goes to tiled due to a window disappearing, and for crossing events: (CrossingEvent {ev_window=w, ev_event_type=t, ev_mode=m}) | t == enterNotify, m == notifyNormal = Modifying xmonad focus from a layout is tricky, since it's difficult to know that infinite loops of refreshing can not occur. Splitting it up as layout and eventHook may be simpler.
