I'm using "Mirror Tall" with dual monitors. The top half of my screens are for master windows, and the bottom half are for slave windows. I find though, that as long as I have more than one slave window in a workspace it makes the bottom half of the screen pretty unusable because it gets split evenly amongst all the slaves, and each slave window becomes unpleasant to view. It'd be nice if there was a main slave so that most or all of the "slave pane" is filled with the main slave window. Then I would have half of the screen filled with the master
Perhaps what you want to do is wrap http://xmonad.org/xmonad-docs/xmonad-contrib/XMonad-Layout-Master.htmlaround something like http://xmonad.org/xmonad-docs/xmonad-contrib/XMonad-Layout-Grid.html . (I don't think it will play well with a layout that already has a master window.) Alternately you could use http://xmonad.org/xmonad-docs/xmonad-contrib/XMonad-Layout-Combo.html with something like http://xmonad.org/xmonad-docs/xmonad-contrib/XMonad-Layout-Simplest.html in one pane and Tall or Mirror Tall in the other. See the documentation for Combo for how you select and move windows with that setup. -- brandon s allbery kf8nh sine nomine associates allbery.b@gmail.com ballbery@sinenomine.net unix, openafs, kerberos, infrastructure, xmonad http://sinenomine.net
