xmonad-extras is now on hackage

The xmonad-extras package which contains some additional functionality that requires additional dependencies is now on Hackage: http://hackage.haskell.org/package/xmonad-extras-0.9 It includes a prompt for MPD, volume control and a way to evaluate Haskell expression at runtime, similar to Emacs' eval feature. If anyone has some modules or ideas that can't go in contrib due to dependencies, patches and/or suggestions are always welcome.

someone could implement the gnome-session-registering-via-dbus code with the dbus-bindings, instead of calling dbus-send.

Is there a blog post somewhere describing xmonad-extras? mail:

Is there a blog post somewhere describing xmonad-extras?
There isn't as far as I know, though the documentation should more or less tell everything interesting there is to know about it: http://projects.haskell.org/xmonad-extras/ As a high-level overview: X.P.MPD provides an xmonad-prompt for finding and adding music to an mpd playlist X.P.Eval and X.A.Eval provide ways of evaluating arbitrary Haskell expressions in the context of the running xmonad X.A.Volume provides an interface to the ALSA mixer, with functions to adjust the volume and muting I suppose the next question is going to be, "will you write a blog post somewhere describing xmonad-extras"? =P ~d

will you write a blog post somewhere describing xmonad-extras? (e.g. on xmonad.wordpress.com )?

I finally wrote a little blurb about how I use XMonad.Util.Volume from xmonad-extras to show a brief indicator on the center of the currently focused screen when the volume changes (a little bit like what MacOS does): http://www.dmwit.com/volume I hope somebody finds it interesting! =) ~d
