Hi all, few months ago i give xmonad a chance and I really like it a lot... There's only one problem: i'm an ultra-rookie to xmonad and to haskell, so i beg for knowledge :-P I try to setup a layout suitable for chatting and looking around I found: * XMonad.Layout.IM * XMonad.Layout.LayoutCombinators what I'm trying to do is to set up a layout that split my screen horizontally in two sections and LayoutCombinators seems to be the one; each section is handled with IM layout. I've forgotten to mention that in the upper section i run pidgin and in the lower skype, so in each section i want the buddies list on the left and each opened chat to be "tabbed" on the right. Basically i have this: tabbedLayout = (tabbed shrinkText tabbedTheme) commLayout = avoidStruts $ (withIM (0.20) pidginRoster tabbedLayout) *//* (withIM (0.20) skypeRoster tabbedLayout) pidginRoster = (ClassName "Pidgin") `And` (Role "buddy_list") skypeRoster = (ClassName "Skype") `And` (Not (Title "Options")) `And` (Not (Role "Chats")) `And` (Not (Role "CallWindowForm")) ok, it runs but with an essential issue: every chat window is tabbed in the upper section, while i want the pidgin chats above and skype chats below. Any hints? Thanks a lot! :-) ff0000
