X Events in a Status Bar
by Andrea Rossato 17 Jul '07

17 Jul '07

Hi, I'm fighting with my personal ignorance and intellectual limitations without seeing any end. Supposed you have a window that displays a string that is the concatenation of a list (of unknown length) of MVars, written by forked threads with unknown frequencies. You could check if any single variable has been updated after a given amount of time, but it is quite probable that some of them have been updated in that period of time. So you just end up reading them periodically, and displaying what can be displayed. This stupid reading happens in a recursive loop. Now, how can you handle X Events in such a situation and specifically an Exposure event? You could stop the loop and wait for the event to occur, but you need to update the display since some MVar have change in the meantime. You could wait for the event for some time and then update anyway. It's a less stupid way of reading, but I cannot find any function to achieve this result. You could just forget about it, keep on updating periodically, but then someone is going to say that your status bar has refresh issues (who cares? Once I started it I'm not going to cover it, so no Exposure event handling is needed here. If you have a problem with that send a patch, it could even be applied...;-). Actually I think I'm not able to find a working solution in a limited amount of time, no matter how huge that amount is. But since I keep reading that in order to code Haskell you must be very smart, I thought I could ask here, before giving up...;-) Ciao Andrea

[dzen] Color support for arbitrary parts of the input
by Robert Manea 17 Jul '07

17 Jul '07

Hi, I just added support for coloring arbitrary parts of a line to dzen. Anyone who wants to give it a first try should grab the svn version: svn checkout http://dzen.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ dzen HEADS UP, the syntax has changed: echo 'Default colors ^fg(blue)I'm blue ^bg(green)^fg(#ffffff)and I'm white on green' | dzen2 -p As you see, you can place the ^fg(color) and ^bg(color) commands anywhere into the text in any combination. The set colors will be used until you define a new one on a per line basis (similar to terminal escape seqs.) Both commands accept either symbolic color names or #rrggbb hex-values. If you need to display '^' characters just double them '^^' in order to escape the special meaning. The code is not perfect and I'll be happy to see some testing and possible bug reports before release. There is one known problem in menu mode, i.e. colored text will be printed as is. I'll look into solving this issue in the next couple of days. Bye, Rob. P.S.: With this parsing method it is rather easily possible to support icons in dzen. So this will be a priority TODO as soon as the parser is stable and I found a suitable icon format.

[DARCS] Failed to compile
by Xavier Maillard 17 Jul '07

Hi, I did a darcs pull in Xmonad and XmonadContrib and it failed with these errors: [13 of 14] Compiling Config ( Config.hs, dist/build/xmonad/xmonad-tmp/Config.o ) Config.hs:99:38: Couldn't match expected type `Layout Window' against inferred type `TConf -> Layout Window' Probable cause: `tabbed' is applied to too few arguments In the second argument of `($)', namely `tabbed shrinkText' In the expression: simpleStacking $ (tabbed shrinkText) Config.hs:181:51: Couldn't match expected type `Maybe WorkspaceId' against inferred type `WorkspaceId' Expected type: Maybe WorkspaceId -> X b Inferred type: WorkspaceId -> X () In the second argument of `(>>=)', namely `f' In the expression: (screenWorkspace sc) >>= f I did a setup.lhs clean before doing anything else. What could I do ? Regards, Xavier

darcs patch: Commands.hs: no more hs-boot modifications required - ...
by Andrea Rossato 16 Jul '07

16 Jul '07

hi, patch description says it all. ciao andrea Mon Jul 16 20:15:40 CEST 2007 Andrea Rossato <andrea.rossato(a)unibz.it> * Commands.hs: no more hs-boot modifications required - added to MetaModule I tried to change this module as little as I could, and just to remove the need of hs-boot modification. Now runCommands takes a list of commands that the user must set in Config.hs (as reported in Usage). Commands.workspaceCommands requires the number of workspaces. Removed defaultCommands and divided commands into categories. Afterall a little to change to keep track of this module.

Error compiling Commands.hs

A couple of minutes ago, I ran "darcs pull" for the main xmonad repo and for the contrib repo. Then I did "Setup.lhs clean", followed by "Setup.lhs configure ...", followed by "Setup.lhs build". The build fails with this error: | [11 of 13] Compiling XMonadContrib.Commands ( XMonadContrib/Commands.hs, | dist/build/xmonad/xmonad-tmp/XMonadContrib/Commands.o ) | | XMonadContrib/Commands.hs:69:73: | Couldn't match expected type `Maybe WorkspaceId' | against inferred type `WorkspaceId' | Expected type: Maybe WorkspaceId -> X () | Inferred type: WorkspaceId -> X () | In the second argument of `(>>=)', namely `f' | In the expression: (screenWorkspace (fromIntegral sc)) >>= f | make: *** [build] Error 1 Is it just me?
