getting rid of CrossingEvent
by Andrea Rossato 20 Aug '07

Hi, I don't know if these patches ere going to be accepted, anyway this is my proposal: XMonad should not respond to CrossingEvent(s). That is to say, it should be the layout to decide whether entering a window with the pointer makes that window focused. The present behavior is incompatible with Tabbed (it forces a redraw of tabs every time the pointer enters a window). Moreover I don't like very much the fact that a keyboard driven WM gives such a power to the mice. It is possible to adopt a different approach, with the second patch attached: a layout modifier that makes a layout respond to CrossingEvent(s) by giving focus to the entered window. Unfortunately this second patch is incompatible with Tabbed too (well I'm not going to use it with Tabbed, obviously...;-), and in general with layouts that add hooks to modifyLayout the way Tabbed (via Decoration) does. This is a more general issue we should take care of: there's probably the need to add hooks to respond to different X Events, like Decoration.hs, without messing up with other hooks. I need it for my remote controlling stuff. But I'm not the only one. Indeed the same problem can be seen with SwitchTrans.hs (Lukas decided not to let David do the nice stuff he does with modifyLayout ...;-). This is also the reason why XMonadContrib.LayoutHelpers.idModMod is not a real identity, like erasing something is not anything anymore. We are hitting this problem frequently... Andrea

darcs patch: clear out motion events when processing one motion event.
by David Roundy 20 Aug '07

20 Aug '07

On my laptop anyhow (over six years old) this is completely necesary for adequate performance when something expensive is being done in the drag loop. And it's harmless, so far as I can tell. David Sun Aug 19 17:23:51 PDT 2007 David Roundy <droundy(a)darcs.net> * clear out motion events when processing one motion event. This is important if the hook is slow (e.g. try adding "float w" to the window-dragging hook), as it allows xmonad to keep up with the motion of the mouse.

darcs patch: don't refresh when setting focus to already focussed w...

This fixes the issue that tabs refresh when mouse goes over tabs and then back over the window. But in general, it simply makes xmonad more efficient. David Mon Aug 20 11:02:25 EDT 2007 David Roundy <droundy(a)darcs.net> * don't refresh when setting focus to already focussed window.

darcs patch: add DragPane.
by David Roundy 20 Aug '07

This is basically like TwoPane, except that there's a little gap between the panes which you can grab and drag, so you can have finer-resolution control over the splitting. It also works nicely with Combo, so you can now have almost ion-like control over your layout. David Mon Aug 13 07:40:07 PDT 2007 David Roundy <droundy(a)darcs.net> * add DragPane.

darcs patch: Mosaic.hs: Fix incorrect usage example (and 1 more)

It makes me wonder how we can and/or should give examples like this that don't bitrot and confuse newbies.
