New release to go with 7.10.2
by Tuncer Ayaz 10 Dec '15

Are there any blockers that would prevent cutting a release of current Darcs HEAD to go with the soon to be released GHC 7.10.2? It seems many users install from Darcs anyway, so it appears reasonable to me.

Using sakura with xmonad
by asjo＠koldfront.dk 21 Nov '15

Hi. I recently changed from using xterm to sakura: * https://code.launchpad.net/sakura (primarily because the fonts in xterm look bad when scaled x1.5, and I have to do that on my stationary monitor...) The sakura windows automatically get a thin transparent border with XMonad, through which my desktop background image shows. I would like for this to not happen - as it is distracting. You can see the unwanted effect here: * http://koldfront.dk/misc/xmonad/sakura-xmonad.png compared to what it looks like with xterm: * http://koldfront.dk/misc/xmonad/uxterm-xmonad.png I have tried searching the sakura code and changing random things related to border, rgba, and transparent, but my wild guesses have not been fruitful. Does anyone have any good ideas? I am using running compton (I like the pretty, transparent notifications), in case that matters. OH! I just tried killing compton, and that removed the problem! I guess I should bark up another, uhm, mailing list? Hm, I found this: https://github.com/chjj/compton/issues/139 which is the same problem with another wm, compton, and sakura, and it seems the wm was fixed - so maybe I am in the right place after all? There are some hints here: https://github.com/chjj/compton/issues/240 about what might be the same issue in xmonad. Best regards, Adam -- "Hackers are lazy, in the same way that Adam Sjøgren mathematicians and modernist architects are lazy: asjo(a)koldfront.dk they hate anything extraneous."

Where can I find the xmonad.org website sources? Was it forgotten in the git transition?

switch workspace on all monitors at once
by Kristopher Keller 29 Oct '15

Hi, I'm using three monitors and each monitor has 10 workspaces. This is the code I'm using to switch workspaces: [code] myWorkspaces = withScreens 3 ["1","2","3","4","5","6","7","8","9"] ... [((m .|. modm, k), windows $ onCurrentScreen f i) | (i, k) <- zip (workspaces' conf) [xK_1 .. xK_9] , (f, m) <- [(W.greedyView, 0), (W.shift, shiftMask)]] [/code] I wanted to modify it to add a keybind to switch the workspace on all three monitors at once. For example, control + modm + 2 would switch all monitors to workspace 2. But I'm afraid I don't understand whats going on in that code. Could someone give me a hand? Kristopher
