darcs patch: add decorations infrastructure
by David Roundy 10 Jun '07

10 Jun '07

Hi all, Here's some infrastructure to allow layouts to define window decorations such as tabs or title bars. I'm mostly sending it in to get comments. I soon hope to have a crude tabbed layout using this. David Sat Jun 9 12:23:49 PDT 2007 David Roundy <droundy(a)darcs.net> * add decorations infrastructure

Problem with transients and xinerama
by Bruce Stephens 10 Jun '07

10 Jun '07

I'm finding that pop-up dialogs seem sometimes to appear on the wrong screen. Wrong in the sense that at the time, the focused window is on the other screen, so I'm expecting a transient on that window to appear on the same screen (at least initially).

DynamicLog.hs and multiple xinerama screens
by Dave Harrison 10 Jun '07

10 Jun '07

Are there markers attached to workspaces that let you identify when a workspace is being displayed on a screen ? This is as distinct (but similar to) whether a workspace is the current active workspace. At the moment, the output of DynamicLog is great, but since I have 2 screens it would be good to know which workspace I have up on the other screen as well (so I don't keep tripping over grabbing it as I trawl my workspaces). If there's a marker for which workspace is where I assume this should be a simple mod ? Cheers Dave

run-xmonad.sh
by Dave Harrison 10 Jun '07

10 Jun '07

I've started using the run-xmonad.sh script, but I've found that only one of the menu bars start up correctly. I've recompiled dzen with xinerama support, and set the status bars to show up at the left and right of one of my screens. The menu that reads from the pipe for the workspace status works nicely. However the other statusbar (which I can start from a terminal by hand, and see it show up doing its thing correctly) doesn't show up. Any ideas all ?

floating layer questions
by Avi Rozen 10 Jun '07

10 Jun '07

Hi, I'm having trouble using apps with floating windows. It seems that the only way to move an application to the floating layer is by resizing/moving with the mouse - how do I use keyboard to do this (how about alt-shift-t, to counteract alt-t, or just toggle with alt-t)? Is there a way to launch an application directly into the floating layer? this would help with applications that open many windows. note: with wmii I just need to change focus to the floating layer (even when empty) with alt-space before launching an app (e.g. from dmenu with alt-p, or from an xterm that's already floating). I'm pretty clueless about Haskell, so, at the moment, I can only nag about features/questions. I expect this will change soon enough, but until then - please be gentle :-) Cheers, Avi. -- "If you are an expert in the intricacies of C++, please consider this knowledge a kind of martial art - something a real master never uses."

Issue 4: Implement float layer http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=4 Comment #4 by avi.rozen: Please consider 'floating layer focus' (with keyboard) before launching an application as a simple way to ensure its windows start floating (mimic wmii alt-space). -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.

New state logging framework
by dons＠cse.unsw.edu.au 10 Jun '07

10 Jun '07

Ok. I'm done with the new logging framework. If you live in darcs, you'll see Config.hs has a new field: -- -- Perform an arbitrary action on each state change. -- Examples include: -- * do nothing -- * log the state to stdout -- logHook :: X () logHook = return () This logHook code will be run on every change to the internal state, and it can do just about anything (!). One possible use is to print the internal workspace state to stdout, and to then pipe that into dzen , to get workspace info in a status bar. Here's the code I use for my own logHook: logHook = withWindowSet $ io . putStrLn . ppr where ppr s = concatMap fmt $ sortBy tags (map S.workspace (S.current s : S.visible s) ++ S.hidden s) where tags a b = S.tag a `compare` S.tag b this = S.tag (S.workspace (S.current s)) pprTag = show . (+(1::Int)) . fromIntegral . S.tag fmt w | S.tag w == this = "[" ++ pprTag w ++ "]" | S.stack w /= S.Empty = " " ++ pprTag w ++ " " | otherwise = "" Which takes the workspace description, and prints it as a string in the form: 1 [2] 3 5 Showing the non-empty workspaces, and the current workspace. I then run xmonad as follows, piping this stuff into dzen: # create a pipe for xmonad to talk to PIPE=$HOME/.xmonad-status rm -f $PIPE /sbin/mkfifo -m 600 $PIPE [ -p $PIPE ] || exit # launch the external 60 second clock, and launch the workspace status bar # xmonad-clock.c is a little program in XMonadContrib/scripts xmonad-clock | dzen2 -e '' -x 300 -w 768 -ta r -fg $FG -bg $BG -fn $FONT & # and a workspace status bar, reading's xmonad's stdout dzen2 -e '' -w 300 -ta l -fg $FG -bg $BG -fn $FONT < $PIPE & xmonad > $PIPE & wait $! I imagine people can do all sorts of wacky things with this logHook. My example logHook is also in XMonadContrib/DynamicLog.hs. -- Don
