1 patch for repository http://code.haskell.org/XMonadContrib: Tue Mar 6 12:22:24 IST 2012 Rohan Jain <crodjer(a)gmail.com> * ShowWName flash window background color While calling paintAndWrite for flash window, the background color from config should also be passed on as window background in addition to as text background color. Otherwise the window color gets set to the default black which shows up when text cannot span whole of the window. This issue becomes visible when the font size is considerably large or even in small sizes with truetype fonts. -- Rohan

darcs patch: handle-windows-without-size-hint

1 patch for repository http://code.haskell.org/XMonadContrib: Fri Mar 9 01:27:13 EST 2012 mathstuf(a)gmail.com * handle-windows-without-size-hint When a window has no size hint set, the memory returned by XGetWMNormalHints may be pretty useless. This can cause hint-less windows to bounce between 1x1, 1xn, mx1, the proper size, and (rarely) fullscreen when the layoutHints layout modifier from xmonad-contrib is used. This patch fixes X.L.LayoutHints to ignore windows without a size hint by using the new functions in X.Operations that return SizeHint as a Maybe.

linkedin group

Hi, I can't find a group for xmonad users on LinkedIn. I would like to start one, but first I want to check with the community. Is this okay? Can I use the official logo? What description or disclaimer or statement of purpose should I include? My only motivation is to create a shared signal to prospective employers/employees on LinkedIn and to be able to find (and hire!) other people who like xmonad. I promise that I won't do anything that isn't fair and open. If an official xmonad contributor wants to start this group, then please tell me and I will gratefully join the group! thanks, Steve

Issue 497 in xmonad: Layout.BoringWindows provides no provision for unmarking a marked-boring window

Status: New Owner: ---- New issue 497 by gopsycho...(a)gmail.com: Layout.BoringWindows provides no provision for unmarking a marked-boring window http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=497 No corresponding message to IsBoring Window is exported, so one cannot unmark, for instance, the currently-focused window. One may unmark *all* boring windows at once with the ClearBoring message, however. I suggest implementing either an UnmarkBoring Window, or a ToggleBoring Window message. A possible implementation of the latter is attached. Attachments: BoringWindows.diff 790 bytes
