Howtos wanted: Configuring xmonad with display managers
by Jason Creighton 04 Jun '07

04 Jun '07

Hi, I keep running into people on #xmonad or #haskell who are trying to configure, eg, gdm to run xmonad. I've never run a display manger, so I have no clue how to help them. I think it would be great if we had a page that listed most popular display manger type configurations, and how to set up xmonad in them. Is anybody running [xgk]dm with xmonad? If so, how? Please post your answer here, stating what distro you're running (is anybody running xmonad on something other than Linux?) and we'll compile the answers and put them up on the webpage. Or maybe there needs to be an xmonad wiki or something. In any case, this seems to be a hurdle that lots of people are hitting, and I think we should try to make it as easy as possible to run xmonad.

State information, workspace names and "emptyness" indicator
by Robert Manea 04 Jun '07

04 Jun '07

Hi, below you'll find a _rather hackish_ approach to display state information with xmonad. See the comments in the script to get it running. Here is a shot how it could look like, note the upper left corner: http://omploader.org/file/xmonad-dzen-state-wsnames.png Script and instructions: #!/usr/bin/perl # statedump.pl - beware, hackish solution # # (c) 2007 by Robert Manea <rob dot manea at gmail dot com> # dump xmonad state in a readable format # # Usage: # ------ # Uncomment the line reading "withWindowSet (io . hPrint stderr)" # in xmonad's Operations.hs. This will enable a state dump. # # start xmonad like this: # xmonad 2>&1 | statedump.pl | dzen2 -w 300 -ta l # # Workspaces containing windows have an * prefix # the current workspace is enclosed in [ ] # use strict; use warnings; #---------------------------------------------------------------------- # set the names of the workspaces # if no name is set, the workspace # number will be displayed my %ws2name = ( 0 => "dev", 1 => "mail", 2 => "web", 3 => "comm", 4 => "ham", 5 => "tmp" ); #---------------------------------------------------------------------- my $fr=0; $|=1; while(<>) { my @s = split /Workspace/; $s[1] =~ /tag\s=\s+W\s([0-9]),/; my $cws = $1; for(sort @s) { my @f = /{tag\s=\s+W\s([0-9]),.*stack\s=\s+(.*)/; my $ws = $f[0]; my $emp = $f[1]; $fr++; if($fr < @s) { print "*" if($emp !~ /Empty/); if($ws eq $cws) { $ws2name{"$cws"} ? print '[', $ws2name{"$cws"}, '] ' : print '[', $cws+1, '] '; } else { $ws2name{"$ws"} ? print $ws2name{"$ws"}, ' ' : print $ws+1, ' '; } } } $fr=0; print "\n"; } __END Bye, Rob.

border colours
by Bruce Stephens 04 Jun '07

04 Jun '07

I note that normalBorderColor is a grey, and focusedBorderColor is red. I don't find these particularly distinguishable. Likely that's because I'm in the 10% or so of men who have red-green colour blindness (I believe it's normally the red receptor that's missing). Not a big deal, since this is easily changed. But maybe there's some alternative that would be acceptable to almost everyone? I find focusedBorderColor = "#ff00ff" to be nicely visible. Maybe it's too obvious?

Issue 6: Xmonad does not respect size hints http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=6 Comment #4 by SpencerJanssen: This issue is not fixed. Xmonad currently respects the initial size request for floating windows, but still ignores minimum/maximum dimensions and aspect ratio hints.

Issue 6: Xmonad does not respect size hints http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=6 Comment #3 by dons00: Fixed. Tiled windows have size hints ignored -- completely. They are always sized to fit the tile they're given. Floating windows have their hints respected (try 'xv' for example).

Issue 13: Windows not always hidden properly http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=13 Comment #1 by dons00: Proposal to fix this is to pass doLayout the Stack representing tiled windows, and to allow it to return a pair of just those windows visible, and any hidden. This should fix fullscreen mode (it would be tall (Just 1), taking 1 focused window), and two pane becomes trivial.
