Hello,
I can't seem to find anything (that works) that allows me to start mplayer sinked into the layout. I don't want it to float since I start mplayer into a separate monitor. I use the latest git as of today's date. Is there anything like doSink (instead of doFloat) or something like that?
Thanks in advance. -- Jesús Guerrero
Try adding the following to your manageHook:
[ className =? "MPlayer" --> (ask >>= doF . W.sink) ]
Thank you very much for your response. I've tried a number of variants and I am beginning to think that there's something odd about mplayer with xmonad. I've tried adding the following three lines, just in case (and based on your advise): --------- [ className =? "MPlayer" --> (ask >>= doF . W.sink) , title =? "MPlayer" --> (ask >>= doF . W.sink) , resource =? "MPlayer" --> (ask >>= doF . W.sink) --------- However it doesn't seem to change anything. It doesn't fail either. Xmonad recompiles config.hs just ok and it restarts without problems. But nothing seems to change. Xprop tells my that "MPlayer" is the correct string for WM_NAME, WM_ICON_NAME and WM_CLASS: --------- WM_STATE(WM_STATE): window state: Normal icon window: 0x0 WM_NORMAL_HINTS(WM_SIZE_HINTS): program specified location: 256, 192 program specified size: 512 by 384 program specified minimum size: 4 by 4 program specified minimum aspect ratio: 512/384 program specified maximum aspect ratio: 512/384 window gravity: Static WM_ICON_NAME(STRING) = "MPlayer" WM_NAME(STRING) = "MPlayer" _NET_WM_PID(CARDINAL) = 27902 WM_CLASS(STRING) = "xv", "MPlayer" WM_PROTOCOLS(ATOM): protocols WM_DELETE_WINDOW --------- The window still sits floating in the center of the monitor. In any case, thanks again for answering. Cheers :) -- Jesús Guerrero
