Hi, I tried that, I copied the WM_NAME(COMPOUND_TEXT) string from the xprop output. But it does not work. Maybe something is wrong with the "™" symbol, but it is displayed correclty in vim. Can I somehow just test if the title contains my username? Thanks! nathan On Tue, 1 Jun 2010 11:16:12 -0300 "Henrique G. Abreu" wrote:

Hi,

I am using the IM layout for skype. The problem is, that the chat windows tend to get into the area for the contacts window.

I use the layout like this:

withIM (1%7) (ClassName "Skype") (LG.Grid False)

But both the contacts window, as well as the chat windows have the same class name:

WM_CLASS(STRING) = "skype", "Skype"

What can I do?

Thanks! Nathn _______________________________________________ xmonad mailing list xmonad@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/xmonad

Some time ago Skype used WM_WINDOW_ROLE = "Chats" for chat windows, but now it doesn't, so I switched to the way suggested by Henrique and it works here. I'm using both pidgin and skype at the same workspace, pidgin at the left side and skype at the right: ... import XMonad.Layout.IM as IM ... imLayout = IM.withIM (0.18) (Role "buddy_list") $ reflectHoriz $ IM.withIM (0.22) isSkype (Mirror tiled ||| Full) where isSkype = (IM.Or (IM.Title "<username> - Skype™ (Beta)")(IM.Title "Skype™ 2.1 (Beta) for Linux")) Cheers, Sergey
