RIP RotView, new wiki page for notable darcs changes
by Brent Yorgey 01 Feb '08

01 Feb '08

Hi all, I have two things to say, so instead of sending two emails I just did a merge. =) 1. RotView is dead, long live RotView! The functionality of RotView has now been subsumed into a new and improved CycleWS. In particular if you used to use 'rotView True' you can now say 'moveTo Next NonEmptyWS'. Of course, you can also say 'moveTo Prev EmptyWS', and other such things; see the new CycleWS docs for more info. Note that this removes the old RotView restriction regarding having your workspace tags in lexicographical order; you can specify an arbitrary sort order for your workspace tags when cycling, and in particular the default is to cycle in config order rather than lexicographical order. 2. To help out those creating release notes when 0.7 rolls around, I've created a new page on the wiki: http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/Xmonad/Notable_changes_since_0.6 If you push any patches to the core or contrib repos that are "notable" (i.e. an average user upgrading from 0.6 to 0.7 would like to know about them), consider adding a short note to this page. Happy xmonading! -Brent

Issue 129: ClassLayout.description type signature is wrong http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=129 Comment #3 by andrea.rossato: while waiting for Spencer's proof, in either directions (time is on my side... ;), I'm attaching the class and the instance as I'm designing them. the file does not even compile (see comments).

Issue 131 in xmonad: We need a mouse interface to the decoration layer
by codesite-noreply＠google.com 01 Feb '08

Issue 131: We need a mouse interface to the decoration layer http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=131 New issue report by andrea.rossato: At the present time the decoration layer doesn't implement any mouse interface. This is partially due to the fact that modifiers are not allowed to call "focus window"): see the discussion in issue #111 But there is another problem: the interaction with the underlying WindowArranger. Since the window arranger, which takes track of modified geometries, is implemented purely, a possibility could be a message interface system between the decoration modifier and the arranger modifier. I need to collect some ideas on you to deal cleanly with this problem. My starting idea, anyway, is to implement that interface in the DecorationStyle class, with safe default methods, but the possibility of users/developers to provide their own implementation.

Issue 125 in xmonad: Tabbed layout not working anymore
by codesite-noreply＠google.com 01 Feb '08

Issue 125: Tabbed layout not working anymore http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=125 Comment #15 by v.dijk.bas: I applied your patch and rebuild XMonadContrib without problems in GHC 6.8.2. I updated my layouthook so that 'windowRemove' is applied to the tabbed layout. This works perfectly. The only thing that remains, from a user point of view, is the ability to click on the tabs (decorations) to switch to the window. One question: shouldn't 'windowRemove' be used inside 'tabbed' in 'XMonad.Layout.Tabbed'. So that users don't have to remember to apply it to 'tabbed'? -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.

Issue 130 in xmonad: The Decoration modifier should be decoration aware

Issue 130: The Decoration modifier should be decoration aware http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=130 New issue report by andrea.rossato: At the present time, placing a Decoration modifier over another Decoration modifier would (probably) produce a big mess, because the top modifier will try to decorate decoration too. The implementation is trivial, still we can do it in two way: 1. in the DecorationStyle class: a. a method? decorateDecoration :: Bool b. within decoration? 2. in the Decoration modifier instance, in resync, before calling decorate. Any idea? (I'm marking this as an enhancement, since I originally conceived the decoration modifier as a non composable modifier. Maybe this design decision is the real bug...;) Issue attributes: Status: Accepted Owner: andrea.rossato Labels: Type-Enhancement Priority-Medium -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.

Issue 125: Tabbed layout not working anymore http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=125 Comment #14 by andrea.rossato: please note that this patch would make it possible also to have a simple tabbed layout that returns all windows. This second version can be used with the WindowArranger to create a mixed tabbed/floating layout: windows are full screen with tabs, but you can resize them and move them around. that linker issue bugs me quite a lot, though. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.

Issue 125: Tabbed layout not working anymore http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=125 Comment #13 by andrea.rossato: attached you'll find a patch that should fix tabbed in a way Spencer may judge correct (that is to say by returning only the focused window). To be used in the layout hook as: windowRemove (tabbed shrinkText defaultTheme) Unfortunately this patch seems to hit a ghc-6.6.1 bug. When I apply it, while the contrib libary will build just fine, the linker will fail when compiling ~/.xmonad/xmonad.hs with this error message: /usr/local/lib/xmonad-contrib-0.6/ghc-6.6.1/libHSxmonad-contrib-0.6.a(Combo.o): In function `s1e0s_info': ghc3557_0.hc:(.text+0x3ada): undefined reference to `xmonadzmcontribzm0zi6_XMonadziLayoutziWindowNavigation_zdf3_info' /usr/local/lib/xmonad-contrib-0.6/ghc-6.6.1/libHSxmonad-contrib-0.6.a(Combo.o):(.rodata+0xa8): undefined reference to `xmonadzmcontribzm0zi6_XMonadziLayoutziWindowNavigation_zdf3_closure' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status Unfortunately I cannot understand what the problem is, neither how to address it.

Issue 126 in xmonad: Restarting xmonad doesn't work

Issue 126: Restarting xmonad doesn't work http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=126 Comment #4 by v.dijk.bas: Spencer you're right. I've installed xmonad in my home dir and I only added it to my $PATH inside my ~/.bashrc. I gues that ~/.bashrc is never executed when xmonad starts so when I restart it, it can't find xmonad. I solved it by listing the full path to xmonad in my config: , ((modMask , xK_q ), restart "/home/bas/bin/xmonad" True) This bug, which is not really a bug anymore, can be closed. Thanks very much for your help! -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.

ClientMessage events in 0.7?
by Joachim Breitner 01 Feb '08

01 Feb '08

Hi, now that 0.6 is out I’d like to get some attention on a feature needed for more complete EWMH support: The module needs to handle XEvents (ClientMessage events in particular) on a global, not per-layout, scale. I’m not following xmonad development close enough to judge what the best way of doing that would be, but I hope that you’ll find a way... Greetings, Joachim PS: Has anyone tested the Debian packages for 0.6 already? -- Joachim "nomeata" Breitner mail: mail(a)joachim-breitner.de | ICQ# 74513189 | GPG-Key: 4743206C JID: nomeata(a)joachim-breitner.de | http://www.joachim-breitner.de/ Debian Developer: nomeata(a)debian.org
