Re: [xmonad] Startup Arguments

There's also XMonad.Layout.IndependentScreens.countScreens, which has the type (MonadIO m, Integral i) => m i for counting screens. I think a function like this is exposed in several other spots, too. ~d Excerpts from Devin Mullins's message of 2014-10-06 12:17:30 -0700:

Curious what code you tried. Something like this seems like it should work:

import Graphics.X11.Xinerama (getScreenInfo)

main = do dpy <- openDisplay "" screens <- getScreenInfo dpy let config = case length screens of 1 -> ... _ -> ... xmonad config

In the meantime, the trick used by e.g. Fedora's default xmonad configuration is environment variables.

Aha, that will do nicely. Thanks! And I agree, a --user-arg param would be convenient.
