I've been mulling for a while what border color would go best with the terminal-style greenXPConfig prompt (green text on black background), since the default white was clearly unsatisfactory. I tried yellow for a while, but that didn't seem much better. Then I realized the problem was there being a border at all, and that I ought to do just: hunk ./XMonad/Prompt.hs 226 -greenXPConfig = defaultXPConfig { fgColor = "green", bgColor = "black" } +greenXPConfig = defaultXPConfig { fgColor = "green", bgColor = "black", promptBorderWidth = 0 } Simple enough. It pleases me. As far as the config archive knows, the only 2 users of greenXPConfig are myself and Adam Vogt: 20.hs:import XMonad.Prompt (greenXPConfig) 20.hs: ((m .|. shiftMask,xK_p), shellPrompt greenXPConfig) 20.hs: , ((m, xK_b), safePrompt "firefox" greenXPConfig) 20.hs: , ((m .|. shiftMask,xK_c), prompt (term ++ " -e") greenXPConfig) 20.hs: , ((m .|. shiftMask,xK_e), prompt "emacsclient -c -a emacs" greenXPConfig) 20.hs: , ((m, xK_g), promptSearch greenXPConfig google) 20.hs: , ((m, xK_t), promptSearch greenXPConfig wikipedia) 20.hs: , ((m, xK_u), promptSearch greenXPConfig isohunt) 20.hs: , ((m, xK_y), promptSearch greenXPConfig wayback) 7.hs:import XMonad.Prompt(XPConfig(font), XPrompt(showXPrompt), greenXPConfig, mkXPrompt) 7.hs:myXPConfig = greenXPConfig { font = "xft:Profont:pixelsize=15:autohint=true" } If he nor anyone else objects, in a few days I'll just push this small change. -- gwern
