Re: [xmonad] How to make a window floating above all the other windows and border-less?

Hi, Thanks for the help. I just modified my xmonad.hs like following. Well, the doCenterFloat seems working, but the toggleBorder part does not. The window still has a border, and it could receive focus. manageHook_ :: ManageHook manageHook_ = composeAll [ className =? "Clock" --> (do w <- ask liftX $ toggleBorder w doCenterFloat) ] On Sat, Sep 12, 2009 at 12:26 AM, Wirt Wolff wrote:

  But I met a few problems here. I made the windows "over-redirect", so it has no border. Well, how to make it floating above all the others then?

Assuming your window has a property to match in manageHook, (appName used here), and already floats because of fixed size, etc:

import XMonad.Actions.NoBorders

appName =? "foo" --> (ask >>= \w -> liftX (toggleBorder w) >> idHook)

If you need to float it with manageHook, then instead of idHook use doRectFloat or doCenterFloat as appropriate.

In darcs there is also Layout.Monitor module with additional tools for such tasks.
