[Fwd: Re: [xmonad] suprised: tiling is never used]

If You found yourself never used tiled mode, maybe You should try manual tiling window manager, like Stumpwm or Musca or Ion... But I came to XMonad after years of using manual tiling wm and now i enjoy the automatic tiling layout. Especially with LimitWindows modifier... Sometimes I would like to have a possibility to split a screen manually. Maybe there is a layout, that i didn't find in the XMonad collection, with such possibilities? (I tried DragPane, TwoPane, Combo... It's cool, but not exactly what i mean...) PS to Chengqi Song: sorry for accidental sending private message. В Чтв, 08/10/2009 в 16:17 +0800, Chengqi Song пишет:
Hi all,
I've been using XMonad for a long time, about one year by now. But I've just found that I almost never used tiling layout.
The windows in my xmonad are always either maximized or floating. Because resizing is sometimes destructive to programs like mc, moc and mutt.
I still enjoy XMonad, but just wonder anyone else never use tiling layout either?

Wow, that's what I always wanted! I'm still on version 0.8 so I don't have
it.
I downloaded the source for LimitWindows but I'm not sure where to put it so
that I can import it from my xmonad.hs. The .xmonad directory doesn't seem
to work. Do I put it in /usr/lib/xmonad-contrib-0.8/ghc-6.x.x/XMonad/Layout
? (Is this too off-topic, should I have started a new thread?)

You can copy-paste its source into your config, minding that the {-# LANGUAGE Pragmas #-} go on top, that you xmonad.hs module name is Main (though you can leave that out), and that imports must come before any code. If you succeeded in merging the two together, you can add the layout modifier just like the directions tell you too. But perhaps it would just be easier to upgrade core and contrib from darcs. I put the instructions and some relevant links together here: http://www.eng.uwaterloo.ca/~aavogt/xmonad/docs/ Thanks, Adam
