Hi! A quick information e-mail: I just pushed (Spencer gave me access to xmonad contrib, thx!) some patches containing Bluetile's decoration. These are: Sun Nov 29 01:24:16 CET 2009 Jan Vornberger <jan.vornberger@informatik.uni-oldenburg.de> * A decoration with small buttons and a supporting module The decoration that is used for the floating/stacking layout with little 'buttons' to minimize, maximize and close the window. Sun Nov 29 01:34:31 CET 2009 Jan Vornberger <jan.vornberger@informatik.uni-oldenburg.de> * Decoration that allows to switch the position of windows by dragging them onto each other. A decoration that is used in all the tiled layouts. Patch description pretty much says it. This should work fairly well in combination with all sorts of layouts. Sun Nov 29 01:45:06 CET 2009 Jan Vornberger <jan.vornberger@informatik.uni-oldenburg.de> * Module to ensure that a dragged window always stays in front of all other windows In my branch I modified the core for this, but I figured out a way to do it as a contrib module: In a dual-head setup you can drag windows from one screen to another, but the stacking order might be such, that the dragged window disappears behind the windows on the other screen. This workaround makes sure that the dragged window is always in front of everything else. With these three patches my process of porting Bluetile from my branch over to xmond mainline is actually complete! I can now build Bluetile from xmonad mainline alone - yay! :-) Cheers! Jan

Awesome, thanks for your fantastic work! You should consider writing a description of the new features on the xmonad blog. =) -Brent

congratulations! I think we want bluetile in Debian, as it’s mostly people on binary distros that would benefit from an easier-to-use xmonad. Once your patches are tested somewhat, can we have an xmonad and xmonad-contrib-release, so that you can to update the bluetile package on hackage with one that depends on xmonad proper? I’ll then put a bluetile package on Debian.

This is tremendous news! Please, do you think you can write up an announcement? I can provide you with a blog account. -- Don

Congratulations and a hearty hearty "Thank you for such great work and for bringing key bluetile features into xmonad proper!". :D Well done to all who made this happen and especially to Jan. Thanks again. -- wmw
