Transparent Border with Chrome Beta/Unstable
by Eyal Erez 10 Jun '15

10 Jun '15

Hi, I've recently update my machine to find that chrome's window border (orange on all my other windows) is now transparent. I noticed that Google have added their new Aura graphics stack instead of GTK+ <https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/forum/#!topic/chromium-dev/Zpu9801…>, and I'm wondering if this is not playing nicely with xmonad. Downgrading to Chrome stable solves the problem. But I'm guessing that once the stable version gets updated, I'll get the same issue again. Is anyone else seeing this? Is there anything I can do to confirm that this is the problem or fix it somehow? Thank you, -- *Eyal Erez <**oneself(a)gmail.com* <oneself(a)gmail.com>*>* There are 10 types of people, those who know binary and those who don't.

Extra keyboard

Hello, I have a USB numeric keypad lying about, and would like to use its keys as special shortcuts (like, its Num-6 could simulate XF86AudioNext...). How do I tell its key strokes apart from those of the main keyboard? Is this done at X level? Would the helpful people on this list provide some pointers, or set me started? Thanks for attention. * FWIW, here is dmesg: [81553.409035] input: USB KB USB KB as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb3/3-3/3-3.4/3-3.4:1.0/0003:1241:1503.0006/input/input31 [81553.409193] hid-generic 0003:1241:1503.0006: input,hidraw2: USB HID v1.10 Keyboard [USB KB USB KB] on usb-0000:00:14.0-3.4/input0

contrib darcs patch: BinarySpacePartition update
by Anton Pirogov 29 May '15

29 May '15

Hi, this patch makes the actions in BSP layout more consistent and usable, making Equalize and Balance work locally and also allowing to open new windows at arbitrary positions: Equalize/Balance now only rearrange the currently focused node instead of the whole layout (e.g. you want to keep some windows like they are but only want to rearrange a deeply nested branch). New windows now are inserted into the currently selected node, so e.g focussing the root (everything) and opening the window will make the new window take half of the screen (not possible or very cumbersome before). Also a new feature is added - now it is possible to select a window or group of windows (first FocusParent, then SelectNode) and "cut&paste" the selected window(s) into some other location in the layout (again, FocusParent to the destination, then MoveNode). This will split the node focused and put the selected window(s) there. The reason for this was that more elaborate rearrangements that I sometimes wished for were simply not possible just with regular window swapping. Best regards, Anton

Re: [xmonad] Chrome full screen behavior
by Dave Macias 29 May '15

Just recently moved into darcs version of xmonad. Config works exactly the same. Noticed that with the darcs version chromium fullscreen video does not bleed. As a test i went back to using haskell xmonad 0.11.1 and the video did bleed. So the culprit was not chromium but xmonad version 0.11.1. Is the darcs version ever going to be implemented to the stable release (haskell). I noticed there is a thread for "New Release" but nothing concrete as to date. Granted new releases take time but just wondering.

Isn't it time for a new release? Been using xmonad from darcs without issues for a long time.

Issue 527 in xmonad: Google Hangouts screen sharing crashes
by codesite-noreply＠google.com 19 May '15

Status: New Owner: ---- New issue 527 by szty...(a)gmail.com: Google Hangouts screen sharing crashes http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=527 1. Open a new Google Hangout 2. Press "Share your screen" 3. The window for selecting the window to share appears for a fraction of a second and then the hangout crashes. I am using xmonad 0.11 on Gentoo without any additional configuration changes. The same functionality works with other window managers, also other tiling ones.

Fwd: contrib darcs patch: BinarySpacePartition update
by Anton Pirogov 18 May '15

18 May '15

Hi Daniel, As far as I am aware, BSP is only in contrib-darcs for 6 months. My first patch to BSP is 2 months old and introduced far more invasive changes than this one, and the little feedback I got was good, but since it is so fresh I dont think that there are many users out there who used it in it's "new form" already. In comparison, this is a smaller update which I think is important to make everything more consistent with the whole node-focus semantics that I introduced and addresses some small annoyances that became apparent after using the layout extensively for some time. So no, it is not backwards-compatible, but I am quite sure that it is not a problem - at least as long as there was no new official xmonad release that "freezes" the current behaviour. Best regards, Anton 2015-05-18 2:26 GMT+02:00 Daniel Wagner <dmwit(a)dmwit.com>: > Hi Anton -- > > Thanks for the patch.

[patch]
by François Gannaz 18 May '15

Hi Here is a small patch that was useful to me. I noticed too late that I had put non-ASCII text (UTF-8) in my patch comment. I have no experience with Darcs, so I didn't try to amend it. Darcs' send comand did not handle it well: it converted everything to single bytes characters. I edited the comment, but feel free to remove non-ACSII from the patch. Regards -- François Gannaz
