Make floating window stick to screen
by Jakob Schöttl 28 Mar '16

28 Mar '16

Hello, I would like to have a floating window that keep staying on a certain xinerama screen rather than a certain workspace. Is it possible to implement this? Can I create a key binding to toggle 'stick to screen'. In case I have to create my own event hook impl, how can I react on workspace switching? And how can xmonad 'remember' the sticky window(s)? Thank you! Regards, Jakob -- Jakob Schöttl E-Mail: jschoett(a)gmail.com PGP-Key: 0x25055C7F

Can avoidStruts stop working?
by Tuncer Ayaz 09 Mar '16

09 Mar '16

Does anybody else run XMonad on Arch Linux AMD64 (non-testing)? Since about a week (and a half) ago something seems to have caused avoidStruts to be ignored, because xmobar is covered by any window I open. I've tried unsuccessfully with my full config and the recently suggested new sample config here on the list[1]. Any idea what's happening? It's possibly an operator issue, but I don't know how to debug it. [1] https://mail.haskell.org/pipermail/xmonad/2015-December/014977.html

Default Floating Window Criteria (rdesktop)
by Jason Schulz 06 Mar '16

06 Mar '16

I'm trying to figure out why XMonad isn't tiling rdesktop by default (and hopefully change it). Whenever I launch rdesktop, the window gets floated. I'm using the default manageHook which, looking at the source, looks like it should only float two programs by default (MPlayer, and mplayer2). The command I'm using to launch rdesktop is 'rdesktop -K -a 32 -x lan -g 1920x1080 $host$'. My xmonad.hs is posted on github if anyone wants to look at it (https://github.com/uxcn/dot-files/blob/master/.xmonad/xmonad.hs) I'm currently using version 0.12. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks in advance. -Jason

Code Freeze for v0.12 and Time to Test!
by Peter Jones 02 Mar '16

02 Mar '16

Except for bug fixes, I'd like to call for a freeze on commits to the xmonad and xmonad-contrib repositories until we get a release out. At this point I think we have everything we need in place. Let's take advantage of the weekend and let as many people as possible test 0.12. Then on Monday I'll open pull requests from my repos and we can tag and release. For reference, the following repositories have the latest changes plus all of my documentation updates: https://github.com/pjones/xmonad/tree/release-0.12 https://github.com/pjones/xmonad-contrib/tree/release-0.12 I also put together a stand-alone repository to help me test xmonad and xmonad-contrib using GHC 7.10.2, 7.8.4, and 7.6.3. (We should plan on making another release in January to cover 7.10.3.) My testing repository can be found at: https://github.com/pjones/xmonad-test/tree/release-0.12 So, please go forth and read the docs and compile the code! -- Peter Jones, Founder, Devalot.com Defending the honor of good code
