Issue 133: xmonad-contrib source code "cleanup" - in search of a user code location http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=133 New issue report by andrea.rossato: I think we should find a better way to separate modules for user interfaces, and modules for developers APIs. For instance, in the IRC channel there were complains about the fact the XMonad.Layout.Decoration did not have user documentation and a user could not figure how to turn decorations on. The fact is that Decoration is just an API, and you can find user code in Tabbed. SimpleDecoration and DwmStyle are combinators, and I do not really judge the user code, but APIs. Since it seems we can get to a quite expressive level of layers composition, I suggest to elaborate a strategy for placing user code in a single place. On a longer period of time, I hope that the class system and the related instances (even Decoration - with (this is necessary :( the needed XUtils and Font libraries) will be proven safe enough to be included in the core, that would just export an abstract layer that can provide the full functionality of a highly programmable WM *without* any sensitive Xlib call. This hope guided my last hacking efforts.
