Hi! I suspect the easiest way around this might be to detect the current DE/WM at runtime somehow and change Xmonad behavior accordingly, this way a lot of code will be reused between configs for different WMs. That said, reading through source code in Core.hs there are references to XMONAD_DATA_DIR, XMONAD_CONFIG_DIR, XMONAD_CACHE_DIR environment vars that can be used to control where xmonad gets the files from: https://hackage.haskell.org/package/xmonad-0.17.0/docs/src/XMonad.Core.html#... So probably you can place different xmonad.hs files into different directories and then use XMONAD_CONFIG_DIR to control what files are compiled.

Hi all!
Is there an option to compile and (re)start etc. individual 'xmonad.hs', such as one has different DE/WMs and wants to use e. g. together with their own adapted xmonad? – Like:
$ xmonad --file=/path/to/xmonad-de1.hs --recompile
$ exec xmonad --file=/path/to/xmonad-de1.hs
or
$ xmonad --file=/path/to/xmonad-de2.hs --recompile
$ xmonad --restart --file=/path/to/xmonad-de2.hs
or
$ xmonad --recompile --file=/path/to/xmonad-pure.hs
$ exec xmonad --file=/path/to/xmonad-pure.hs
Would be a cool feature, though so far the manpage or any web resources don't mention it.
Cheers!
