Re: [xmonad] How to make a window floating above all the other windows and border-less?

Excerpts from Magicloud Magiclouds's message of Wed Sep 09 20:45:49 -0600 2009:

But I met a few problems here. I made the windows "over-redirect", so it has no border. Well, how to make it floating above all the others then?

Assuming your window has a property to match in manageHook, (appName used here), and already floats because of fixed size, etc: import XMonad.Actions.NoBorders appName =? "foo" --> (ask >>= \w -> liftX (toggleBorder w) >> idHook) If you need to float it with manageHook, then instead of idHook use doRectFloat or doCenterFloat as appropriate. In darcs there is also Layout.Monitor module with additional tools for such tasks. -- wmw
