Why do we close stdin in (some) spawned processes?
by ivan 12 Jan '21

12 Jan '21

In 'spawn', we close stdin in the child process, whereas in 'safeSpawn' from xmonad-contrib we do not. I'm curious why that's the case? This commit introduced the code that closes stdin, but doesn't describe the motivation for doing so: https://github.com/xmonad/xmonad/commit/353e7cd6811245fbee7c8c6cf821041c924… I suspect we close stdin in 'spawn' because we know it won't be needed, but I'm still not sure what we gain by closing it (does it improve efficiency?). And should we be closing it in 'safeSpawn' as well, or does 'safeSpawn' have a use-case that requires reading from stdin?

gnome xmonad on Ubuntu 18.04 or 20.04
by Steve Quezadas 15 Nov '20

15 Nov '20

Did anyone get xmonad working with gnome 3 on Ubuntu 18.04 Bionic Beaver or 20.04 Focal Fossa? Ideally, I want it to work with gnome-panel and Ubuntu Docker and various gnome goodies like power management. I tried adding doing a: sudo apt-add-repository ppa:gekkio/xmonad sudo apt install gnome-session-xmonad But it did not work on brand new installs of Ubuntu 18.04 Bionic Beaver or 20.04 Focal Fossa . xmonad works but not within the gnome eco-system. Nothing is in the xmonad wiki either. Has anyone got it to work?

compiling with -O2 optimization
by ivan 22 Sep '20

22 Sep '20

Hi, Is it inadvisable to compile your xmonad.hs with level 2 optimization enabled? I added the following pragma to my config, and haven't had any problems yet: {-# OPTIONS_GHC -O2 #-} I searched issues/commits/google but wasn't able to find any discussion on this -Ivan.

X.A.GridSelect spawnSelected colorized
by Dave Macias 10 Aug '20

10 Aug '20

Hello, Apologies for the repost....i had posted here: https://www.reddit.com/r/xmonad/comments/hvaug9/xagridselect_spawnselected_… but no response for some time now. So I want to try here. Basically, I am trying to custom colorize spawnSelected grid apps. I was able to do this with goToSelected and I really like the color scheme. Was hoping to use the same color scheme that i use for goToSelected applied to spawnSelected. Any input is much appreciated! Stay safe. -Dave

Single Monitor with Multiple Workspaces
by Eyal Erez 09 Jul '20

09 Jul '20

Hi, I used to have two monitors and I loved xmonad's ability to switch which workspace was visible on each. That allowed me to set up multiple windows in a workspace and then pop them all in and out as needed. I've since replaced them with a single ultra-wide monitor. I thought it would be amazing, if I can pop in two workspaces side by side on the same monitor and control each independently as if they were on two monitors. Could something like that be possible? -- *Eyal Erez <**oneself(a)gmail.com* <oneself(a)gmail.com>*>* There are 10 types of people, those who know binary and those who don't.

Change the visibility of windows
by Daniel Trstenjak 09 Jul '20

09 Jul '20

Hi, is there a way to temporary change the visibility of windows? Sometimes I want to temporary only see two windows of the workspace side by side and afterwards switch back to see all windows. Something like tagging the two windows and then switching to a layout only displaying the tagged. Perhaps even being able to tag windows from different workspaces might be a nice feature. Greetings, Daniel

incorrect focus after closing a window
by joe skinner 26 Jun '20

26 Jun '20

I currently use the following to get windows inserted in the order that I want and it works well. , manageHook=insertPosition Below Newer <+> manageHook def <+> manageDocks My issue is that when I close a window I always get the wrong window focused as it does not take into account the order in which it was created. Is there any way that this can be overcome? Thanks Joe

Opera Browser Window Borders Missing
by Eyal Erez 25 Jun '20

25 Jun '20

Hi, I have my active and inactive window borders set to orange and grey respectively. This works well for all windows. However, I've recently installed the Opera browser, and for some reason, the borders are not coming up at all. They seem transparent -- meaning, there's a gap between the Opera window and other windows, the edge of the screen, and xmobar on all sides. I seem to remember that this happened for Chrome as well, until I set "Use system title bar and borders" to on in the settings. I haven't been able to find something similar for Opera. Is there anyway to fix this? Thank you -- There are 10 types of people, those who know binary and those who don't.
