Hi all,

Here's some infrastructure to allow layouts to define window decorations such as tabs or title bars. I'm mostly sending it in to get comments. I soon hope to have a crude tabbed layout using this.

I think we should leverage the existing layout/message system as much as possible here. Proposed modifications: - instance Message XEvent

Good.

- dispatch unhandled XEvents to layouts

Good.

- add another message type: data ViewMsg = View | Hide -- send this message to layouts on workspace change

Ok, what's the case here? that a layout has drawn something on the screen depending on the workspace, and won't know that its moved to a new workspace? Perhaps doLayout should take (Stack a, WorkspaceId) ?

- put modifyLayout in the X monad

Seems reasonable.

This should give us enough flexibility to do decorations inside layouts without polluting the core with decoration handling.

Souds good. -- Don
