Ok, I am pretty sure this should not be too complicated to do, but I've been trying many ways to hide the xmobar under the windows and so far haven't achieved anything. Interesting thing is that many people report having this behavior as something undesirable, but that's precisely what I want. I don't want xmobar showing up on my workspace all the time, and wanted somehow to toggle it on and off.

I have played with both toggleStruts in xmonad.hs and lowerOnStart = True | False in .xmobarrc, but got nothing. Maybe this is something very simple, but I'm not being able to do it. So far my xmonad.hs and .xmobarrc look like this: I don't want to put myself into the spotlight here, but that's what I've implemented recently for xmobar. You can find that stuff in the latest git version (https://github.com/jaor/xmobar). There's also some documentation how to set up autohide for xmonad in

Hope you like it!

That sounds great! How one would toggle hide and unhide on XMonad? I suppose it has something to do with the "Example for using the DBus IPC interface with XMonad" but I can't quite understand the example. Is it necessary to write all that? Would I get this feature installing xmobar from cabal or do I have to use the git version? By the way, I also forgot to send reply to all, but Brandon's suggestion worked out great. It doesn't work using cairo-compmgr, but compositing is always kind of buggy on X apparently. Eric

Best Wishes,

P.S.: Whoops, that was meant to got to Eric and to the list, sorry Eric for the noise.
