I made a tiny patch for the main Xmonad code, to allow constrained resizing of windows. Hold down mod-SHIFT-button3 instead of just mod-button3, and the window will resize with width=height. I find this useful for resizing analogue xclock without getting an out-of-shape clock face. If it's not deemed useful for mainline I've packaged it as a contribution as well. constrainResize.mainline.diff - touches Config.hs and Operations.hs or constrainResize.contrib.diff - adds XMonadContrib/ConstrainedResize.hs - touches MetaModule.hs Cheers, Dougal. PS. This is my second attempt at submitting a patch here. Is there nowhere one can submit a patch without first signing up? The ease of 'darcs send' is more than counteracted by the annoyance of creating an account... /grumble grumble
