Hello.

Could someone give me an example of manageHook that will tile window if it's width is more that some constant and float it otherwise?

And another question, is it possible to send window to specific subLayout from manageHook?

Hi Victor, By the optional floating, do you mean when the window in question requests a minimum width, like this function: exceedsSize :: Dimension -> Dimension -> Query Bool exceedsSize minWidth minHeight = do w <- ask d <- liftX (asks display) sizeHints <- liftIO (getWMNormalHints d w) return $ case sh_min_size sizeHints of Just (width,height) -> width > minWidth || height > minHeight Nothing -> False Which can then be used in a ManageHook to float in: exceedsSize 500 400 --> doFloat Many windows do not specify minimum sizes, or the minimum sizes are quite small so this might not be useful (if it does what it is supposed to, as I didn't test it). For the second question do you mean something like the last definition here which has some issues which might need changing SubLayouts to work http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/Xmonad/Config_archive/adamvo's_xmonad.hs -- Adam
