Hi Everybody, Is there a way make the WSGroup persistent after reboot with XMonad.Actions.DynamicWorkspaceGroups? Can we define statically the WSGroup? With addWSGroup? Best regards, -- Alexis de BRUYN

New XMonad layout based on bspwm
by Ben Weitzman 01 May '14

01 May '14

Hi, I've written a binary space partition layout based of bspwm. Each time a window is inserted, it splits the current window into two. You can resize, rotate, and swap the leafs of the BSP tree around. Attached is the darcs patch. Cheers, Ben

Thanks, that's exactly what I was looking for. ------Original Message------ From: Paul Fertser To: Philip (GMail) Cc: xmonad(a)haskell.org Subject: Re: [xmonad] Partial-width tiling Sent: 28 Apr 2014 2:09 AM Hi, On Sat, Apr 26, 2014 at 09:35:06PM -0400, Philip DeBoer wrote: > Is there a mode in which tiles do not fill the whole screen width, but allow > blank spaces? Please see if http://xmonad.org/xmonad-docs/xmonad-contrib/XMonad-Layout-Gaps.html can do what you want. It allows to toggle gaps as well as dynamically resize them.

Partial-width tiling
by Philip DeBoer 28 Apr '14

28 Apr '14

Is there a mode in which tiles do not fill the whole screen width, but allow blank spaces? For example, I use the ResizableTile layout, but in order to resize windows I need multiple windows open. I would like to be able to resize a window without opening multiple windows. The use-case is for reading text --- I often find that the line-length is too long, for example on websites or even man pages. A hack is to open an xterm and use that to fill part of the space. A better solution would just fill the empty space with a transparent window (and not require another program to load!). I am not looking for tiling per se, and would be happy just to see my background in the unfilled space. Is there already a layout that would do this? Thanks for suggestions! Philip

Updates: Status: Invalid Comment #29 on issue 97 by byorgey: xmonad stops responding to keyboard input after running xscreensaver http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=97 I'm closing this since 1) it hasn't happened to me in a very long time 2) no one seems to have reported a similar problem for a year 3) it was never even clear whether this really was an xmonad problem---I suspect it wasn't. Feel free to reopen if you are having a similar issue and none of the solutions proposed in the comments work for you. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
