Is it possible to gather all windows in workspace 0 like dwm's tag 0?

Show *all* windows in a grid layout
by Sepp Tannhuber 25 Jun '12

25 Jun '12

Hello, I am using "goToSelected" from GridSelect to switch between windows. This arranges all window titles in a grid. And I can switch to the corresponding window very quickly. However I would prefer to arrange the windows itself (from all workspaces) rather than their titles in a grid layout and then select them in a similar way (with keys j,k,l,h). How can I do it? Is it possible to arrange all windows from all workspaces in a grid layout? Cheers Sepp

Integrating boringWindows and minimize
by Christopher Howard 24 Jun '12

24 Jun '12

Hi. I use XMonad mostly with the Full layout, and switch between applications with the keyboard, but I wanted to be able to minimize windows occasionally. The idea is to get them out of the way so I can more quickly switch between other windows. Anyway, I almost got what I wanted with something like so, trying to follow online documentation (and guessing at what wasn't clear to me): code: -------- myLayout = boringWindows (minimize (Full ||| tiled)) ||| tiled -------- The minimizing part seems to work fine (minimized windows don't display). However, when I switch through the the windows with the keyboard, minimized windows apparently are still receiving focus. So, for example, if I have three minimized windows, between two regular ones, I will have to focus down three times before being switched between the two. (Thank you for your patience. I have to admit it's been quite a while since I did any Haskell programming, so I've forgotten most of the basics.) -- frigidcode.com indicium.us

shellPrompt dmenu like completion
by Carsten Mattner 23 Jun '12

23 Jun '12

Prompt.Shell's shellPrompt function works well except that I couldn't make it auto-select the first entry of the possible completions. If it did that, it would be a perfect dmenu replacement. xmonad and xmonad-contrib both are at 0.10. Haven't configured any non-default behavioral XPConfig settings.

dwm like resizeHints
by Carsten Mattner 22 Jun '12

I'd like to not ignore resize hints same as dwm's default of resizeHints=True. Is this possible with any of the layout extensions?

focus history

Hi if anyone's interested: attached is my alt-tab implementation, I saw it being requested a couple of times. Unlike CycleWindows keeps track of the focus globally, not per-workspace.

Problem with xmonad and rendering Dolphin windows in KDE
by Leo Alekseyev 22 Jun '12

22 Jun '12

I recently made the switch to KDE (Kubuntu 12.04, to be precise); xmonad works very well with it, except for one thing: Dolphin windows take a rather long time to render compared to other applications. By that I mean that if I switch to a desktop which has Dolphin windows visible, the Dolphin windows will show as grey background for about 2-3 seconds, before being rendered properly. Right afterwards, switching between the "Dolphin" desktop and another desktop is rather fast (Dolphin renders quickly). But if I stay on a different desktop for more than about 1 minute and then switch back to the "Dolphin" desktop, I'll see the 2-3 second delay again. This behavior seems exclusive to Dolphin (other Qt apps and GTK apps seem to work fine). If other KDE users on the list have seen this behavior and/or can suggest any remedies, I would be interested in hearing about it! --Leo

Issue 510 in xmonad: Documentation for XMonad.Layout.Fullscreen uses obsolete eventHook name
by codesite-noreply＠google.com 18 Jun '12

18 Jun '12

Status: New Owner: ---- New issue 510 by pajmullaney: Documentation for XMonad.Layout.Fullscreen uses obsolete eventHook name http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=510 The examples in the documentation for XMonad.Layout.Fullscreen [1] use the obsolete "eventHook" instead of the new "handleEventHook". If the example configuration is used without making that change, it results in a compile error. [1] - http://xmonad.org/xmonad-docs/xmonad-contrib/XMonad-Layout-Fullscreen.html

Changing configuration depending on the context
by Pablo Olmos de Aguilera Corradini 18 Jun '12

18 Jun '12

I'm sorry if the title is misleading, I just don't know how to explain it in one sentence. Normally I use my xmonad system in two contexts, one in my laptop (1366*768) and in my "workstation" that consists in a 21" monitor (1980*1280) as primary monitor and with the laptop as secondary. This leads me to not being able to use the same configuration every time. I've been trying a lot of stuff to put the dzen|tray|conky bars according to the dimension using the libraries from haskell, but sometimes they doesn't work as expected overlapping bars, mostly because when xmonad just starts there is one screen cloned in both monitors, then I have to start my xrandr script to fix the dimensions and position of both. My actual approach consists to call a do block from the main block of the xmonad.hs file, and then a lot of local variables (using 'let') from the function that is getting the screen dimensions, with them I was trying to do some math and include them on dzen, the tray application, ecc. I'm still learning haskell and xmonad, so probably I'm not using the best approach. Any suggestion Regards! -- Pablo Olmos de Aguilera Corradini - @PaBLoX http://www.glatelier.org/ http://about.me/pablox/ http://www.linkedin.com/in/pablooda/ Linux User: #456971 - http://counter.li.org/

Remove outside borders from windows
by Zach Hirsch 16 Jun '12

16 Jun '12

Hi, [Trying this again since my first post didn't seem to go through. Apologies if you get this twice.] I just started using xmonad, and it's pretty great. One usability issue that I've run into is that the tabs in Google Chrome aren't quite at the top of the screen, i.e. I can move the mouse to the top of the screen and click on a tab. This seems to be due to the window borders; using NoBorders fixes this, but it also removes the borders _between_ windows, which I don't want. Is there some way to remove just the outside borders? Thanks, -Zach
