Dear Eyal,
Without doing anything, special rofi shows the windows (e.g., "rofi -show window") and the workspace where they are. So if you know that somewhere you have a possibly hidden window with a recognizable name, this works perfectly. However, as far as I can tell, there is no indication that they are hidden.
This thread in reddit may be relevant too:
https://old.reddit.com/r/xmonad/comments/q63wt6/minimized_windows_list_open_...
Based on that thread, and some trial-and-error, I have some code in my xmonad.hs that will feed the hidden windows to rofi, so that they are listed (with the name of their workspace), and will be un-hidden on pressing Enter. The code works for me, but I am a complete ignorant in Haskell; this is from the reddit thread (i.e., from Ivan Malison) + trial and error + a few questions to perplexity.ai. The function I bind to a keybinding is myHiddenMenuBring
----------------------------------------------------------------------
minimizedWindows = withMinimized return
restoreAll = mapM_ maximizeWindow
restoreAllMinimized = minimizedWindows >>= restoreAll
windowIsMinimized w = do
minimized <- XS.gets minimizedStack
return $ w `elem` minimized
maybeUnminimize w = windowIsMinimized w >>= flip when (maximizeWindow w)
maybeUnminimizeFocused = withFocused maybeUnminimize
-- Define a custom WindowBringerConfig to use rofi on hidden windows
myRofiHiddenConfig :: WindowBringerConfig
myRofiHiddenConfig = def
{ menuCommand = "rofi"
, menuArgs = ["-show", "window", "-dmenu", "-p", "Hidden windows"]
, windowFilter = \ w -> elem w <$> XS.gets minimizedStack
}
myHiddenMenuBring :: X ()
myHiddenMenuBring = actionMenu myRofiHiddenConfig bringWindow >> maybeUnminimizeFocused
(It might be necessary to also import this, which I do anyway
import qualified XMonad.Util.Dmenu as DM
)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Best,
R.

Hi,
I've recently added XMonad.Actions.Minimize/XMonad.Layout.Minimize to my setup and I like it a lot. My only issue is that I would love it if there was some visual queue that the workspace contains minimized windows. Currently, they just disappear and I need to remember where they exist.
Is there some way to show that? I'm also using polybar if that helps.
Thank you,
