Issue 41 in xmonad: Border Color is set after Layout is evaluated making custom border coloration schemes impossible.

Issue 41: Border Color is set after Layout is evaluated making custom border coloration schemes impossible. http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=41 New issue report by tim.thelion: What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. install ColorCoding.hs . wget timtheli.freeshell.org/ColorCoding.hs 2. add it as a modifier to you're favorite multiwindow layout. 3. change the border width to like 20 4. rebuild, restart, and start up a bunch of laggy, slow to draw windows. 5. Switch between those windows with the window switch hotkeys, keeping an eye on the master. 6. you may see a bit of red flash on it's border before the custom coloration is overdrawn by xmonads own window colloring code! What is the expected output? What do you see instead? that I would have altimate power, and that xmonad would be more customizable than emacs. What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? darcs, on debian. Please provide any additional information below. If this error is due to a module from XMonadContrib, please tag this issue with 'Component-Contrib' below.

xmonad localisation
by Mats Jansborg 15 Aug '07

15 Aug '07

Hello list, I have some small patches as well as some questions regarding localisation of xmonad, I'm sorry if this runs a little long. Attached is a patch to rewrite David Roundy's NamedWindow using getTextProperty and wcTextPropertyToTextList, which makes it aware of the user's locale. I couldn't find these functions in the existing X11 bindings or in X11-extra so I have attached a second patch for X11-extras that adds them as well as the the TextProperty structure. To make these patches do anything useful, xmonad also needs to call setlocale at some point. It is natural to do this first thing in main, and it is trivial to add except I don't think setlocale or the category constants are in the standard libraries, so the ffi and hsc2hs or similar is needed. In fact, applying these patches without calling setlocale will stop some titles that are now fetched correctly from working, namely those that are in ISO-8859-1 but not ASCII, in effect setting the locale to C, so don't do that. Note also that the patch assumes wchar_t = Data.Char, i.e. that withCWString works correctly. This is often true (always in glibc, I think) but not by any means guaranteed. Another choice would be to use XmbTextPropertyToTextList and keep the title as an opaque byte array. This is nice as long as you don't need to interpret it as a string at which point you need something like iconv. In addition to this, everything that displays text needs to be changed to be locale-aware. This applies to xmonad itself when it prints log messages to stderr without encoding them, but maybe this isn't such a pressing issue to address as it is intended for debugging. More important are extensions that draw text, window titles in particular. I think these should be changed to use X(mb/wc)DrawString, xft, pango or some other locale-aware method. I have some patches that modify David Roundy's Decoration and Tabbed modules to use a small xft binding I made, here's a screen shot: http://www.mdstud.chalmers.se/~jansborg/screenshot.png I have used these for a couple of days now and they seem to work, but I don't propose to apply them for several reasons: * they break anything using Decoration * they introduce a dependency on xft which clearly shouldn't be a hard requirement for building xmonad * some people don't like anti-aliasing, I tend to agree at small resolutions/font sizes If there's interest I can post them anyway for people to play with. How is the the organisation of xmonad supposed to account for extensions such as these that need to be linked with additional libraries? It seems any such extensions must patch not only XMonadContrib but also core xmonad to account for the build process, or is there some way around this? /Mats Jansborg

darcs patch: change workspaces to [WorkspaceId]
by David Roundy 15 Aug '07

15 Aug '07

This simplifies several lines of code (although it doesn't eliminate any lines of code). It eliminates the assumption that the workspace IDs are contiguous, starting at zero, although it doesn't change this property. I hope this change goes in, as it improves the code, and may also lead the way towards friendlier interaction with a changing number of workspaces. David Mon Aug 13 17:37:22 PDT 2007 David Roundy <droundy(a)darcs.net> * change workspaces to [WorkspaceId]
