I think I found a good example here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/xmonad Thank you kindly for your help. -- Imports. import XMonad import XMonad.Hooks.DynamicLog -- The main function. main = xmonad =<< statusBar myBar myPP toggleStrutsKey myConfig -- Command to launch the bar. myBar = "xmobar" -- Custom PP, configure it as you like. It determines what is being written to the bar. myPP = xmobarPP { ppCurrent = xmobarColor "#429942" "" . wrap "<" ">" } -- Key binding to toggle the gap for the bar. toggleStrutsKey XConfig {XMonad.modMask = modMask} = (modMask, xK_b) -- Main configuration, override the defaults to your liking. myConfig = defaultConfig { modMask = mod4Mask } On Sun, May 4, 2014 at 11:59 PM, Eyal Erez wrote:

Hi,

Thank you very much for your help.

Would you mind posting an example of how I might use statusBar? I'm kind of a Haskell newb.

To this: main = xmonad =<< xmobar defaultConfig { -- no logHook defined -- Other definitions. }

This works fine, but now for some reason, Alt-B is bound to ToggleStruts. I would like this to be Ctrl-Shift-B, and I have a key binding which adds the second one, but I can't seem to get rid of the first.

How can I unbind Alt-B, and where is it coming from?

It's coming from the xmobar combinator applied to defaultConfig:

xmobar conf = statusBar "xmobar" xmobarPP toggleStrutsKey conf

(see http://xmonad.org/xmonad-docs/xmonad-contrib/XMonad-Hooks-DynamicLog.html#v:... )

If you want to replace toggleStrutsKey then you will need to use your own invocation of statusBar.
