Re: [xmonad] Toggle Window (Always Below <-> Always Above)

Hi, first let me thank you for your suggestion. Now lets take a quick look at what is currently done and where the implementation issues lie regarding your suggestions. doIgnore is what is currently done. manageDocks is just short for checkDock --> doIgnore. Thats also whats probably causing the issue with dzen being on top after restart. The question is how to reveal it in a convenient way. I dont even really have an idea how to find the dzen window in my event hook, as I cannot store a WindowSet in the manageHook as its not compatible with ExtensibleState. The same issue occurs with your 2nd suggestion. How do I get the window in the eventHook to call reveal/hide on it? Any suggestions? Jan P.S. I think the X.L.Monitor packages looks interesting but it still has a todo regarding the same task, as it also needs to store which window it manages.

As an idea of how to do this, I might have tried doIgnore on dzen window as described there: http://xmonad.org/xmonad-docs/xmonad-contrib/XMonad-Doc-Extending.html#15 And then assign to keys some shell or xmonad commands that move that window in and out of the screen (maybe even roll it in/out animated).

Another idea is to use doFloat like described on above link and then assign to keys the hide and reveal functions described here: http://xmonad.org/xmonad-docs/xmonad/XMonad-Operations.html#v%3Ahide

It's too bad my Haskell is too bad to express this

I too am very curious as to how to (properly) do this. I have not been able to find a solution.

Hi,

using AvoidStruts I have implemented some way to show my status bar only while holding my modkey. Unfortunatly this method is quite slow and ineffective as all windows on the current screen resize and redraw when pressing the modkey. Instead I'm searching for a way to reorder the stackset such that my dzen window appears either above all other windows (while the modkey is pressed) or below all other.

Some implementation like that would although solve another issue I'm experiencing: When I restart xmonad my dzen bar is suddenly on top of all other windows until I create a new one, that then enables all other windows to again cover the status bar.

Someone got an idea how to implement such an behavior based on what is already done with those eventhooks in my current configuration? (see line 130-152)

Best regards, Jan

P.S. I have attached my xmonad configuration for reference.
