Well, while it works reliably, it fails to update caption if cyrillic symbols are in title. Is it a misconfiguration, a known bug or a bug to file? 2008/5/5 Don Stewart :

I don't know haskell, so I don't understand the extensions' describtion. I just need to add window titles to my windows. I'm using xmonad 0.7.

Welcome!

You just need to pick up the configuration syntax, a little, and there's lots of examples in the docs, so its not too hard to pick up.

So, to add titles to all windows, you'd use one of the layouts that provides window titles, such as:

"DwmStyle" http://xmonad.org/xmonad-docs/xmonad-contrib/XMonad-Layout-DwmStyle.html

To actually use this, you edit your ~/.xmonad/xmonad.hs file to

import XMonad.Layout.DwmStyle

which brings the DwmStyle layout into scope. And then edit your layoutHook by adding the DwmStyle decoration to your layout:

main = xmonad defaultConfig { layoutHook = myLayout }

myLayout = dwmStyle shrinkText defaultTheme (layoutHook defaultConfig)

A complete, simple xmonad.hs that adds dwm-style window titles to each window would then be:

import XMonad import XMonad.Layout.DwmStyle

main = xmonad defaultConfig { layoutHook = dwmStyle shrinkText defaultTheme (layoutHook defaultConfig) }

Put that in your xmonad.hs file and load it with mod-q. I've added this full example to the documentation.

Cheers, Don
