Hi, I have been using xmonad for a long while now and really like it. Unfortunately Haskell is still mostly a mystery to me, so this might be trivial. I use the Tall Layout, configured like this: myLayout = smartBorders (configurableNavigation noNavigateBorders $ (tiled) ||| Full) where tiled = Tall nmaster delta ratio nmaster = 2 ratio = 1/2 delta = 3/100 This gives me the following layout: 1 window 2 3 4 6 ___________ ___________ ___________ ___________ ___________ | | | | | | | | | | | |----| | | |---------| |----| | |----|----| |----|----| | | | | | | | | | | | |----| ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- When I have 2 windows I would like to split vertically instead. Especially on a widescreen laptop monitor the current layout is not good for things like terminals where I really only need 80 characters. How can I get something like this instead?: ___________ ___________ ___________ ___________ ___________ | | | | | | | | | | | | |----| | | | | | | |----| |----|----| |----|----| | | | | | | | | | | | | |----| ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- If I could somehow set nmaster to 1 when number of windows is less than 4 I guess that would do the trick. Kind Regards, Pär Andersson
