I'm now looking for some other ways to improve the image of the title bar, maybe using real images and backgrounds instead of list of pixels. However, I'm having some trouble thinking how XMonad could locate the image files in the disk. Does anyone have an idea about this?
I think getDataFileName and/or getDataDir provided by Cabal (by importing Paths_xmonad_contrib) is what you are looking for. If you list those image files under the 'data-files:' category of xmonad-contrib's cabal file that should give you the path to where they have been installed on the system. See the cabal manual for more information: http://www.haskell.org/cabal/release/cabal-latest/doc/users-guide/authors.ht... By the way: Since you are apparently using decorations, what is your experience with them in general? Are you on a dual-head setup or just a single monitor? Because the decoration code really needs some work, I'm afraid. Sometimes I have problems with 'left-over' title bars that won't disappear and such things. I reckon there aren't many people on this list that are using decoration, are there? Cheers! Jan
