Hi all!<br><br>It is with great pleasure that I unveil a new and improved version of PerWorkspace, which discovers which workspace it is on using Spencer&#39;s idea of a special message type sent to all workspaces via a startupHook, rather than querying the currently focused workspace.&nbsp; The result is that PerWorkspace is able to choose the correct layout right away, without waiting for a window to be created.&nbsp; More excitingly, it also (should) mean that it works just fine with Xinerama!&nbsp; emptyLayout is also implemented so this should close issue #127.&nbsp; There is still definitely room to improve the code, perhaps via some sort of layout combinator class, but this is a good start.<br>
<br>I could push this to contrib myself, but (1) it depends on some patches to the core that I just sent, so I&#39;ll have to wait for those to be applied first, and (2) I don&#39;t have a xinerama setup so I can&#39;t actually test it on xinerama myself.&nbsp; If anyone with a xinerama setup would be willing to confirm that this does indeed work in conjunction with xinerama I&#39;d be grateful!&nbsp; Once the core patches get applied and I get some confirmation that PerWorkspace now works in conjunction with xinerama, I&#39;ll go ahead and push to the contrib repo.<br>
<br>Please note that upgrading will require adding&nbsp; startupHook = initPerWorkspace&nbsp; to your config.&nbsp; Other than that, your current PerWorkspace configuration can stay exactly as it is.&nbsp; If you forget to add the startupHook, you won&#39;t get any errors but PerWorkspace simply will not work (all layouts will be displayed as &quot;PerWorkspace&quot; and the default layout will be used).&nbsp; This is explained in the haddock PerWorkspace documentation.<br>
<br>xmonadically yours,<br>-Brent (byorgey)<br>
