Dear Xmonad community,
I've recently switched to Xmonad from a 3-year relationship with Fluxbox and just after 4-5 days of daily using I am beginning to love this thing very passionately.
However, the old habits die hard and I don't even want to let go of every of them. Some vices of mine include a small Conky instance in a corner, a pseudo-transparent xterm tail -f :ing /var/log/messages with semi-hourly fortunes, and a Rainlendar the flashy calendar application.
The "tail -f" monitor behind stuff in tiled environments such as this doesn't make much sense but I rather wouldn't part from the other two. Basically the subject says it all; I wonder if there is a working Gap modifier that would work on one screen only (I have currently a tri-head xinerama setup). I googled through the mailing lists and since 2008 there has been no fuzz about it.
Am I left with a hack like a gapped layout to be used with one screen only, or is there a better solution for this? These applications don't do well with Layout.Monitor or alike. As a lazy workaround I've been using "Circle" layout for that particular screen and workspace (it's surprisingly handy and not just an eye toy).
TIA, Mikael _______________________________________________ xmonad mailing list xmonad@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/xmonad
