here's a fix for the problem with Tabbed.hs and BadGC/BadDrawable errors. As I said I'm just learning all this X programming so take it as a bug report! Thanks for your kind attention. ciao andrea Mon Jun 11 13:50:49 CEST 2007 Andrea Rossato <andrea.rossato(a)unibz.it> * we cannot change GContext of decfor with a function that uses the GContext of window created for the tab Tabbed.hs creates errors: xmonad: fatal error: request code=60, error code=13 Error: BadGC (invalid GC parameter) This patch should be a work around for the problem. Still, when XMonad is restarted the messages are still there (correct behaviour?)

Xinerama & switching workspaces
by Dave Harrison 11 Jun '07

11 Jun '07

Hi all, Having finally submitted that last assignment for the semester the time to bail on Ion and embrace xmonad has arrived for me ! :-) First let me say, well done. It works very nicely and I'm very impressed (have been for a while even without using it). So now I come to a question, I have a xinerama setup for my laptop that means I can plug into a monitor and have two screens. My usual usage involves me having to go hunting through workspaces to find where I left a particular client window open (a terminal, web browser window etc). What I'm finding at the moment is that as I move through the workspaces, at some point I select a workspace that's on the other screen to the one I'm working on, and by selecting that workspace I move to that other screen. Then as I continue looking through my workspaces, I pull them to that screen instead (I flick fast ;-) ). So the question is, how do other people solve this problem (ie. how do you cycle workspaces to find something you want in xinerama without getting thrown around between screens) ? And, is there a better way to find something on another workspace ? Cheers Dave

fisheye layouts, anyone?
by dons＠cse.unsw.edu.au 11 Jun '07

I wonder if someone wants to hack up a demo `fisheye' layout, http://www.cs.umd.edu/hcil/fisheyemenu/ http://prefuse.org/gallery/fisheyemenu/ Probably would look super nice with compositing (actually shrink the clients not in focus), but oh well. -- Don

darcs patch: first window should be tabbed too

Hi! I don't know, but I think that also the first opened window should be tabbed in a tabbed layout. I think... andrea Mon Jun 11 08:38:26 CEST 2007 Andrea Rossato <andrea.rossato(a)unibz.it> * first window should be tabbed too I believe that in a tabbed layout also the first window should be tabbed.

named workspaces ?

Hi all, Is there an extension that supports tagging (naming) workspaces with a string for use with extensions like DynamicLog ? Cheers Dave

[BUG] tabbed layout and state dumps
by Robert Manea 11 Jun '07

11 Jun '07

Hello, there seems to be some bug in Tabbed.hs that makes it print error messages. While this is no big thing it makes using the state dump as workspace indicator pretty useless. Errors occur on every state change: BadDrawable (invalid pixmap or window) BadGC (ivalidGC parameter) ... and some more See here for a shot of it: http://omploader.org/file/tabbed-errors.png Note the upper left corner. Bye, Rob.

Show windows in status bar?
by Kai Grossjohann 11 Jun '07

11 Jun '07

What I like about dwm is that it shows me the title of the currently focussed window in the status bar. Has anyone done this for xmonad? Furthermore, it would be cool to get some indication of other windows on the current workspace: One could display a list of titles and highlight the currently focussed window. The difficult part is that the list of titles is likely long, so one would have to shorten it somehow. List of titles: Emacs / xterm 1 / [xterm 2] / Gaim / xload Here, xterm 2 would be the current window. Shortening the list of titles: - Truncate title of current window to 20 (configurable) - Truncate titles of other windows to 10 each (configurable) - Only print windows around the currently focussed one. - Use ellipsis to show truncations ... / xt... / [xter...] / Ga... / ... ^^^ ^^^^^ ^^^^^^^ ^^^^^ ^^^ | | | | Windows omitted from rear | | | | Truncated titles of nonactive windows | Windows omitted from front | Truncated title of active window Thoughts? Opinions? Kai

Issue 22: Mod-h / mod-l shouldn't move the dividing line past the edge of the screen http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=22 New issue report by cdmears: To reproduce: 1. Enter tall, or wide, layout 2. Press mod-h / mod-l 3. Keep pressing it until one pane is bigger than the screen The pane gets too big for the screen. XMonad ought to have some minimum size for the panes. Tested using xmonad from darcs. Most programs seem to deal well with having a negative size, but Emacs (gtk), for example, crashes.
