Re: [Xmonad] patch: wmdock script - manage dockable windows using dmenu

k.kosciuszkiewicz:

Hello,

I'm really enyoing the Xmonad experience so far, but inability to use applications that insist on docking was a drawback to me. So I did my firsts steps in the Xlib programming and here are the results. The hack is really crude; script identifies windows that look like they should be docked and optionally sends mouse events to them (most of such apps will raise the main window after such treatment).

This is very timely. We added support for docking/status bar clients just a couple of days ago. It should be possible to set an appropriate gap width in your Config.hs, to reserve space for a dock on the edge of the screen. Did you try this? Or does this patch solve a different problem? -- Don
