Hello List!

I have a WS devoted to reading PDFs and alike and in my manageHook config stands the following:

, className =? "Evince" --> doFullFloat

This is, because I like my two xmobars (top and bottom) to disappear, when reading a paper such things. But: When evince is FullFloating I got problems when opening more than one instance of it, like a second paper. It just lets the first one disappear under the freshly opened one.

Probably the cleanest fix is to let that workspace run a non-avoidStruts layout, since avoidStruts is the thing making your windows avoid covering xmobar. (And then completely delete the hook that floats evince windows.) For example, a smallish starting config might look something like this:

main = xmonad defaultConfig { layoutHook = avoidStruts (Full ||| Tall 1 0.5 0.03) }

If you wanted to throw on another layout like Tall that covered up xmobar's, you'd do something like this:

main = xmonad defaultConfig { layoutHook = avoidStruts (Full ||| Tall 1 0.5 0.03) ||| Tall 1 0.5 0.03 }

Because of the parentheses, avoidStruts only applies to the first two layouts. Then, I'd switch my "PDF" workspace to the third layout by whacking mod+space a few times. (This can be automated, too, with a bit of effort. See PerWorkspaceLayouts in the xmonad-contrib documentation.)

Good luck, ~d

Well, thank you. I already got an (more or less) complex perWorkspace layout and I'm not entirely sure how to add a non-avoidStruts layout for the workspace for evince (this would be (workspace !! 5) in my case). Here's what I have now: myLayoutHook = avoidStruts . smartBorders . onWorkspace (myWorkspaces !! 0) (tiled ||| simpleTabbed ||| Full) . onWorkspace (myWorkspaces !! 2) (tiled ||| Full ||| simpleTabbed) . onWorkspace (myWorkspaces !! 3) (tiled2 ||| simpleTabbed ||| Full) . onWorkspace (myWorkspaces !! 8) (tiled3 ||| Full ||| simpleTabbed) $ (Full ||| simpleTabbed ||| Grid) where tiled = ResizableTall 1 (5/100) (40/100) [] tiled2 = Mirror (Tall 1 (5/100) (30/100)) tiled3 = withIM (11/64) (Role "gimp-toolbox") $ ResizableTall 2 (1/118) (11/20) [1] ||| Full The weird thing is, the workspace VLC has no problem with the fullscreen-mode. When I hit F11 in VLC it fills up the fullscreen, just like Evince should. And it resides on an avoidStruts workspace, too. I hope you can give me a hint :) Thank you very much in advance!
