Re: [xmonad] Get VLC to do fullscreen float in Xmonad
My problem is that when I start a movie VLC starts and XMONAD tiling it as it should. But of cause I do not want VLC and XBMC side by side on the monitor. I would like VLC fullscreen on top of XBMC.
I have tried to solve it by using "XMonad.Hooks.ManageHelpers" and "doFullFloat" but no luck.
My xmonad.hs looks like this.
...
myManageHook = composeOne
[ className =? "vlc" -?> doFullFloat
, className =? "skype" -?> doFloat
, resource =? "desktop_window" -?> doIgnore
, resource =? "kdesktop" -?> doIgnore ]
Try using "Vlc" instead of "vlc" for the className. (At least "Vlc" works for me, but "vlc" doesn't (i guess xmonad only checks one of the possible class names, or something)). Matt

There is only one class name; you're being confused by a fossil in X11. (There are lots of these fossils; it's one of the big reasons everyone wants Wayland so badly. Large chunks of X11 still date from the 1980s, and new functionality has been duct-taped wherever it could be forced to fit.)
