Issue 410 in xmonad: Real fullscreen support without floating

Status: New Owner: ---- New issue 410 by demelier.david: Real fullscreen support without floating http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=410 The mplayer fullscreen bug is a quite famous right now. Some people use NoBorders as workaround, but the window is still moveable. I mean real fullscreen as the window can't be moved by the user and of course won't have any borders without any workaround. This applies for mplayer's fullscreen mode, not for SDL.

Status: New Owner: ---- New issue 470 by jyoth...(a)gmail.com: XMonad shows background when it need not http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=470 What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Open two fullscreen apps in two workspaces 2. Switch between them quickly What is the expected output? What do you see instead? I expect to see the windows of the apps and no background. Instead, the background is shown first and then the window. What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? xmonad-0.9.2-2 (arch) Please provide any additional information below. This issue is the same as Issue no. 322. Apparently the issue was closed then and has reppeared sometime later.

Bug tracker maintenance: changing owners
by Gwern Branwen 24 Dec '11

24 Dec '11

I noticed that many issues in https://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/list still list dons or sjanssen as their owners; both of them have pretty much permanently checked out of Xmonad development. Should we remove all of them? -- gwern http://www.gwern.net

Status: New Owner: ---- New issue 489 by abcz2.up...(a)gmail.com: [proposal] Provide cheat sheet with hotkey http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=489 What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. I am newbie in xmonad 2. I'm starting it, but forgot the terminal hotkey (Mod-Shift-Return) 3. I need to go Ctrl-Alt-F1 to read man page then. That's annoying What is the expected output? What do you see instead? I expect ratpoison behavior - to show hotkey cheat sheet by pressing Mod-? (question mark, Shift-/) What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? 0.10, Arch Linux

Cleaning up maintainer fields (contrib)
by Wirt Wolff 23 Dec '11

23 Dec '11

I've started cleaning up the xmonad-contrib maintainer fields to orphan modules that are marked as maintained by people who have long since moved on. Some are obvious, like Andrea's, but for the others two weeks ago I sent out a "phone home" email to the people who've not been around since sending a patch years ago. Most of them have current emails, so after 9 Jan if I've not heard back from them I'm planning to mark their modules orphaned. Two people no longer have working emails. Please if any one knows how to contact Miikka Koskinen or James Webb, forward their contact info to me off list, or simply ask them if they want to keep maintainership and if so, to provide a current maintainer email address. Aftwerward I'm planning to start an adopt an orphan drive for modules that still see a lot of use and potential development, and to mark stable the ones that haven't changed in years. The ones I have on my "to orphan" list so far are Spencer's, Dons', Andrea's, Roundy's, and Roman C's (he told me he's moved on.) Thoughts, comments? -- wmw

Select grid shape and sort elements for XMonad.Actions.GridSelect
by Mario Pastorelli 20 Dec '11

20 Dec '11

Hello everybody, I have decided to post my patch to improve GridSelect so that you can choose the grid shape and you can sort elements. I decided to do this patch because I don't like the idea to use a diamond grid for my workspaces without any order. It is too confusing for me. With my patch gridselect can show workspaces in a row sorted by tag. The defaultGSConfig has not been touched so that my patch will not break existent configuration using that. If you want to show and sort workspaces in a row you can change your xmonad.hs by putting this: gridselectWorkspace defaultGSConfig { gs_shaper = line, gs_elementSort = sort } where sort is the function from the list module. Good night, MP

zaphod mode
by Martin Carroll 20 Dec '11

20 Dec '11

Forgive me for asking a question that has probably been asked already, but I cannot find the answer: Is it possible to get xmonad to work with zaphod mode? I specifically need the ability to associate each xmonad workspace with a different CRTC. Is that possible? Thanks, Martin

Shifting client-instances to workspaces
by 1126 20 Dec '11

20 Dec '11

Hello! As this is my first submission to a mailinglist ever, I hope I do everything right ;) I am trying to learn Haskell, and as my fascination for this language grew, I considered shifting from i3 to xmonad. So far, everything more or less works. Now I am trying to pimp my configuration from a minimal one to a more sophisticated one. I added the ability to shift clients automatically to a workspace. So, when I start Firefox it is opened on my www-workspace automatically. I want the same for Irssi and Alpine and my Emacs. I want them opened on the communiaction-workspace, or the coding-workspace ;) But all of them are running withing URxvt, so the class is always URxvt. In i3 you are able to shift a client-instance to a workspace, like so: assign [class="URxvt" instance="irssi"] -> 2|com Is something similar possible in xmonad? And if so, how? Thanks in advance, greetings from Cologne, 1126!

xmobar dynamic resizing failing?
by Mike Meyer 16 Dec '11

16 Dec '11

I'm running xmonad +xmobar in a VM, and have noticed that xmobar will resize down if I shrink the window the VM displays in, but not resize up if I then make it larger. Has anyone looked into this? Thanks, <mike

Dynamic xmobar spawning
by Ben Boeckel 16 Dec '11

16 Dec '11

Hi, I'd like to get XMonad to spawn an xmobar for each monitor based on the current number of montiors that are present. This includes spawning new instances when monitors appear and tearing them down when they're taken offline[1]. I've gotten most of the logic done (on a branch that I've neglected to push from my work machines yet) and it involves some code from adamvo's config[3] including getScreens, multiPP, and mergePPOutputs which would indeed be good to get into contrib. In my case, since I use xmonadpropwrite for xmobar so that a single xmobar launch works independently of xmonad, it also requires a change in xmobar itself to accept *supplemental* commands to run from the command line. A branch with this support is on my github fork[4]. The last part is where I've hit a snag. I've tried to get some Xrandr support into the X11 package, but my experience with the FFI is pretty much nil and I've been unable to get something that looks/feels good beyond what is already done in xmobar itself. There's also the question of whether an X11-Xrandr package makes more sense (Xinerama is already there, but xft isn't). I imagine xmobar would also pick up the code that gets put into X11 or X11-Xrandr for its Xrandr needs instead of its own bindings if/when that happens. Thoughts? --Ben [1]Ideally, this could be toggled so that xmobar doesn't appear when it isn't wanted (presentations come to mind). X.H.ToggleHook[2] could probably help there.
