it returns IO WindowAttributes, but they do not include a color map entry:

I have tried to make a pull request for adding this field now:
From testing it a couple of minutes, it works on my machine - the
It turns out that to make use of the new wa_colormap field, I need to change getWindowAttributes to throw an exception if XGetWindowAttributes() fails. So: * https://github.com/asjo/X11/commit/e5421307a02ea0cadcb381d282615d56a0e848c0 Then, to make xmonad-contrib compile, XMonad/Util/DebugWindow.hs needs adjusting: * https://github.com/asjo/xmonad-contrib/commit/e775872ac34c81e070e530a89f591e... And finally, I can change XMonad/Operations.hs to grab the color from the window's color map if available (it isn't when closing a window, so it is important to check the return value of XGetWindowAttributes() to avoid a crash - I had fun logging myself out when closing a window for a while!): * https://github.com/asjo/xmonad/commit/e7d0e004d0a1acfd1ff149eaabf274fe2519c4... ... mimicking the change done to dwm¹. transparent borders are gone from my Sakura windows, and the solid colour I configured in XMonad is used instead. Note thet especially the changes to XMonad/Operations.hs are in "try and try pounding at it again until it works"-style code, and any tips on how to write it better will be much appreciated.
