Re: [xmonad] ppVisible with 3 screens

Hi, thanks for that hint :) That does help, but for me it would be mutch nicer to have that thing with the different colors working. It is kind of confusing with that sorting thing: My primary monitor is the one in the middle. With that sorting thing the workspace visible at the middle monitor comes first, then the left one and then the right one. Would it be possible to change that? Like: Workspace on the left one is listed first, workspace on the middle one (primary) listed second and workspace on the right one listed third? It would be also nice to have a seperator after the first 3 workspaces :) Regards, Felix On 03. October 2010 - 14:44, Juraj Hercek wrote:

... I was using 2 screens with xmonad and xmobar.

The settings

ppCurrent = xmobarColor "#CC0000" "" . wrap "[" "]" , ppVisible = xmobarColor "#EE9A00" "" . wrap "[" "]" , ppTitle = shorten 80 , ppSep = " |</fc>" , ppHiddenNoWindows = xmobarColor "#AFAF87" "" , ppUrgent = xmobarColor "#EE9A00" "" . wrap "[" "]"

worked good for 2 screens: The active workspace is red and the inactive is orange.

But now, with 3 screens, there are 2 inactive workspaces and they both are orange. Is there a way to say:

inactive on screen 0 = blue inactive on screen 1 = ornage inactive on screen 3 = green

or something similar. ...

I'm not sure if the thing you want to achieve is (easily) possible with current implementation. But maybe you want to use better sorting algorithm, more suitable for configurations with more than 2 workspaces. This is how my PP looks like (the ppSort line is most interesting to you):

---8<--- myPP :: PP myPP = defaultPP { ppOutput = putStrLn , ppCurrent = color "yellow" "" , ppVisible = color "lightblue "" , ppUrgent = color "red" "" , ppSort = getSortByXineramaRule } where color = xmobarColor --->8---
