Hi, using AvoidStruts I have implemented some way to show my status bar only while holding my modkey. Unfortunatly this method is quite slow and ineffective as all windows on the current screen resize and redraw when pressing the modkey. Instead I'm searching for a way to reorder the stackset such that my dzen window appears either above all other windows (while the modkey is pressed) or below all other. Some implementation like that would although solve another issue I'm experiencing: When I restart xmonad my dzen bar is suddenly on top of all other windows until I create a new one, that then enables all other windows to again cover the status bar. Someone got an idea how to implement such an behavior based on what is already done with those eventhooks in my current configuration? (see line 130-152) Best regards, Jan P.S. I have attached my xmonad configuration for reference. -- Jan-David Quesel Carl von Ossietzky Universität Oldenburg Department of Computing Science Correct System Design D-26111 Oldenburg, Germany Phone: +49 (0)441 798-2376 Fax: +49 (0)441 798-2965
