Hi Jochen, Here is a config which uses Monitor with xclock successfully, perhaps when you compare with your attempt you'll see what went wrong: import XMonad; import XMonad.Layout.Monitor import XMonad.Layout.LayoutModifier xclock = monitor { prop = ClassName "XClock", rect = Rectangle 0 0 40 40 } main = xmonad defaultConfig { manageHook = manageHook defaultConfig <+> manageMonitor xclock, layoutHook = ModifiedLayout xclock (layoutHook defaultConfig) } -- Adam On Sun, May 29, 2011 at 4:02 PM, Jochen Keil wrote:

Hello,

I've been trying to set up XMonad.Layout.Monitor. Instead of the cairo-clock example from the docs I've taken xclock. Unfortunately hiding/showing using the ToggleMonitor message does not work.

I've tried to ignore xclock with the doIgnore managehook before the manageMonitor hook. Furthermore I've run xmonad with defaultConfig and only the manageMonitor hook applied.

However, neither helped. Any ideas/hints on this issue?

Thanks and kind regards,
