Using xmonad 0.7 and KDE 3.5 with the xmonad.hs from http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/Xmonad/Using_xmonad_in_KDE
I want to add Grid to the default list of layouts. When I do:
3a4
import XMonad.Layout.Grid 10c11 < , layoutHook = avoidStruts $ layoutHook defaultConfig
, layoutHook = avoidStruts $ layoutHook defaultConfig ||| Grid
I only get Tall and Grid. The last two layouts from defaultConfig - Mirror Tall and Full - disappear, seemingly "eaten" by Grid.
If I specify the entire layout list manually:
3a4
import XMonad.Layout.Grid 10c11,12 < , layoutHook = avoidStruts $ layoutHook defaultConfig
, layoutHook = avoidStruts $ let t = Tall 1 (3/100) (1/2) in t ||| Mirror t ||| Full ||| Grid
I get all four layouts as expected.
Any ideas why?
Thanks, Yitz
It's because code which works with Choose data type expects the tree to grow to the left. If you write layoutHook = avoidStruts $ Grid ||| layoutHook defaultConfig it will work. This is undocumented (afaik) and should be considered as a bug. By the way, NewSelect combinator from LayoutCombinators does not have this issue, so one more reason to merge it to the core. -- Roman I. Cheplyaka (aka Feuerbach @ IRC)
