I have now tried the Roledex layout, this is nearly exactly what I want except that I want each window to be fullscreen rather than stacked the way it does... I am going to get the source code for this and modify it so that each window is the same size as the screen... it will be a good way into both Haskell and xmonad. Thanks for the pointers, If I get the result I want I will publish it / give it back / etc :) On Wed, 25 Aug 2010 11:48:15 +0100, Sean Charles wrote: Hi, Being a long time LISP/Stump user I migrated to xmonad about eight months ago and I am totally hooked, just bought 'Real World Haskell' and determined to 'get into it' ASAP!! Awesome. I've read around the list but I can't see what I am after, prepared to write it myself if I have too... in stump you can create a new application in the same frame as the current one and then rotate between them; a circular queue of windows with the topmost one being the active one. Can xmonad do this out of the box or with some nifty configuration applied to xmonad.hs ? When I have a main window with firefox running and three smaller ones stacked beloe with pork, mutt and a shell open, I would like to be able to use the same space for emacs and swap between firefox and emacs as I work. It's not a problem really but I wondered if it would be easy to achieve the same stump-like operation? Thanks.
