Re: [xmonad] Issue 177 in xmonad: xmonad does not follow ICCCM and ignores WM_TAKE_FOCUS protocol

Yep, it's a precedence problem. Swap out ($) for parentheses: logHook = takeTopFocus >> dynamicLogWithPP (xmobarPP { ... }) ~d Quoting Eyal Erez :

Thank you for your help,

Yeah, that's what I figured as well, but then I get this error when I recompile:

xmonad.hs:391:25: Couldn't match expected type `a -> a1' against inferred type `X ()' In the first argument of `(>>)', namely `takeTopFocus' In the first argument of `($)', namely `takeTopFocus >> dynamicLogWithPP' In the `logHook' field of a record

I apologize in advance for the newbie question, but how can I combine takeTopFocus with my existing logHook for xmobar? Currently, my logHook looks like this: logHook = dynamicLogWithPP $ xmobarPP { ppOutput = hPutStrLn xmproc , ppTitle = xmobarColor "#a8fc46" "" . shorten 50 , ppOrder = \(ws:_:t:_) -> [ws, t] }

Easiest is to prepend it:

logHook = takeTopFocus >> dynamicLogWithPP $ xmobarPP { ppOutput = hPutStrLn xmproc , ppTitle = xmobarColor "#a8fc46" "" . shorten 50 , ppOrder = \(ws:_:t:_) -> [ws, t] }
