Hello all, I've been experimenting with XMonad recently and I've come up with a solution to the following "problem": I have a dual-head setup and am running two status bars on the top of each screen; I would like to be able to display in each status bar the information that is relevant to the corresponding screen. In particular, when I am moving the focus around, staying on one screen, the window title shown in the status bar of that screen should be changing according to the focused window, while that shown in the status bar on the other screen should not and should show the title of the window that would have the focus if I switched to the other screen. Similarly for layouts. On the other hand, both status bars should show the same list of hidden non-empty workspaces. This way, when I'm doing something on a particular screen I don't have to turn my head to find out which workspace I am on and what is my current layout. The solution I have is sufficiently general, so that I thought it could be added to XMonad.Hooks.DynamicLog module. In that module there are functions dynamicLogWithPP, dynamicLogString, and pprWindowSet that operate on the current screen; I wrote the functions dynamicLogWithPP', dynamicLogString', and pprWindowSet' that are like their undashed counterparts but take the screen to operate on as the first argument. This way I can do xmobar screen template commands = spawnPipe . intercalate " " $ options where options = [ "xmobar" , "-x" , show screen , "-t" , wrap "'" "'" template , "-c" , wrap "'" "'" commands ] main = do xmobar0 <- xmobar 0 "%StdinReader%}{" "[Run StdinReader]" xmobar1 <- xmobar 1 "%StdinReader%}{%date%" "[Run StdinReader, Run Date \"%a %b %_d, %H:%M\" \"date\" 10]" xmonad $ defaultConfig { ... , logHook = myLogHook [ pp { ppOutput = hPutStrLn xmobar0 } , pp { ppOutput = hPutStrLn xmobar1 } ] ... } myLogHook pps = do screens <- (sortBy (compare `on` S.screen) . S.screens) `fmap` gets windowset zipWithM_ dynamicLogWithPP' screens pps and be happy! If you are interested, please see https://github.com/manzyuk/dotfiles for details. I don't know if this is a valuable addition, but it works very well for me, so I thought I would share. Best, Sasha
