Change Layout Using a Hotkey
by Eyal Erez 05 May '13

05 May '13

Hi, I would like to bind a keyboard shortcut to change to a specific layout (e.g. Full, Grid, etc.). I've been using sendMessage $ JumpToLayout "Full", however, it will only switch to a layout that is already configured in layoutHook. I'd like to switch to a layout that is _not_ in the layoutHook. Is this possible? Thank you, -- There are 10 types of people, those who know binary and those who don't.

darcs patch: Generalises modWorkspace to take any layout-transformi...
by gopsychonauts＠gmail.com 04 May '13

1 patch for repository http://code.haskell.org/XMonadContrib: Thu May 2 01:14:25 EST 2013 gopsychonauts(a)gmail.com * Generalises modWorkspace to take any layout-transforming function modWorkspace already was capable of modifying the layout with an arbitrary layout -> layout function, but its original type restricted it such that it could only apply a single LayoutModifier; this was often inconvenient, as for example it was not possible simply to compose LayoutModifiers for use with modWorkspace. This patch also reimplements onWorkspaces in terms of modWorkspaces, since with the latter's less restrictive type this is now possible.

recompiling xmonad.hs results in one virtual screen instad of two
by Christopher J. Ruwe 03 May '13

03 May '13

I am using xmonad with two screens managed by xrandr with xrandr --output HDMI1 --mode 1920x1080 --pos 0x0 --rotate normal \ --output LVDS1 --off \ --output DP2 --off \ --output DP1 --off \ --output VGA1 --mode 1920x1080 --pos 1920x0 --rotate normal I am using a xmonad setup from last year's december and screens 1 - 9 are placed on single physical screens. A minor readaption of this setup (window size only) resulted in xmonad treating the two screens as one virtual screen. Investigating, I found out that just recompiling the very same .xmonad.hs resulted in the same change. I supsect some of imports have changed, which results in this behaviour. I import import XMonad import System.Exit import qualified XMonad.StackSet as W import qualified Data.Map as M import XMonad.Hooks.ManageDocks --import XMonad.Hooks.EwmhDesktops import XMonad.Layout.Maximize import XMonad.Layout.GridVariants as GV import XMonad.Layout.MultiColumns import XMonad.Layout.PerWorkspace Regrettably, I have deleted all last year's binaries three weeks ago, so I cannot recursively diff and I have not found similar reports in the archives. For now, I copied a xmonad.o from a zfs-snap, but I would like to change my config in the future. Can somebody help me?

Using EwmhDesktops with IntelliJ (or maybe any Java Swing app?)
by Brett Hoerner 02 May '13

02 May '13

Does anyone have this working? I have two modes I manually flip between now: 1) myConfig = ewmh defaultConfig [...snip...] With this, I get normal desktop hints such as opening links will focus my browser, apps like Shutter that take full screen images work, etc. However, if I launch IntelliJ it opens as plain background and never "loads" any of the UI. If I Mod+Shift+C it, the exit dialogue does popup, so it is running and does respond to something. 2) myConfig = defaultConfig [...snip...] Without ewmh, I don't get browser focus, Shutter can't take desktop screenshots, but IntelliJ works flawlessly. Does anyone have a fix for this, even a hack? Maybe some way to run ewmh but blacklist IntelliJ "out" of it? Thanks! Brett

fadeInactiveLogHook on dual monitor with nvidia
by Robert Sawko 01 May '13

01 May '13

Dear All, I have two Xmonad configurations that are extremely productive for me and do most if not all of the things I want. One setup is on my latop and another on my desktop at work. The configurations are very similar with the exception that the desktop has an nvidia drivers installed and is running a dual screen. Basically fadeInactiveLogHook is not working. I would like the inactive windows to fade slightly as this helps me focus on the right terminal. Here are the relevant entries from xmonad.hs myLogHook :: Handle -> X () ... main = do ... , logHook = myLogHook dzenLeftBar >> fadeInactiveLogHook 0.8 ... Is there anything I should do more? This setup works on my laptop so is there any known issues with nvidia or dual screen setup? How do I debug this? Please advise, Robert -- Kitchen science (Non-Newtonian series). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OCTgFLEYlw4

Google Chrome notifications and multiple monitors
by Miles Sabin 28 Apr '13

28 Apr '13

I'm not sure if this is an XMonad or a Chrome issue, but here goes ... I have a multi-monitor setup consisting of a laptop with an external monitor. The external monitor is configured as the primary (via xrandr) if it's attached. Google Chrome is supposed to display it's transient notifications on the primary monitor (see discussion here https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=42313) irrespective of which monitor the main Chrome window is on itself. That's the behaviour I want (browser on the laptop panel, transient notifications on the primary external monitor). Unfortunately the notifications always appear on the laptop panel and, to make matters worse, they appear to flicker across the bottom of the primary monitor before positioning themselves on laptop panel for display. Has anyone else seen this behaviour? Any ideas how to diagnose and fix it?

Xmonad sometimes freezes
by Paul Koerbitz 28 Apr '13

28 Apr '13

Hi all, I have recently started to experience infrequent freezes of my computer. Basically nothing works and I have to turn off the computer. To be honest I am not totally sure that this is xmonad related, just a suspicion. Has anyone else recently experienced something like this? This is on a Thinkpad T420 running Ubuntu 12.10 and xmonad 0.11 from hackage. thanks Paul

setWMName
by Dominik Schrempf 22 Apr '13

22 Apr '13

For some days now I had freezes and problems (e.g. I had to refresh the workspace by switching back and forth to bring the user interface up to date) with Gnome GTK applications like gnome-terminal or nautilus when using xmonad without a loaded gnome-session (plain xmonad). I noticed, that this was due to an old setting in the xmonad configuration file: myStartupHook = setWMName "LG3D". I added this settings years ago to get Java applications to work. After several hours of trial and error I removed this line and the glitches and freezes vanished. I thought, that I should comment this here. Best wishes, Dominik

question screens
by lg 21 Apr '13

21 Apr '13

Hello guys! I'm new to Xmond and i like it so far. Everything works just great expect switching workspaces. I hope someone can help me. I'm used to gnome desktop switching so i'd like to switch both screen and not just the screen where my mouse pointer is located. I't seems like Xmonad is treating every screen as a single screen. How can i change these settings ? Is it even possible ? That makes me totally confused. Thanks for help ! greetings
