All windows in row?
(Not sure if this is the best place to ask, but I have already tried google and found nothing useful.) What is the best and simplest layout manager that will allow me to put all windows in a single row, and possibly resize each of them? Sometimes I'd like to have three windows tiled horizontally, and I guess xmonad is perfect for that. I found ZoomRow, and it looks exactly like what I need, but when I add it to xmonad.hs, I get an error message: "Could not find module `XMonad.Layout.ZoomRow'". And then, how can I install it? Thanks for the help. -- davi pires
It looks like ZoomRow is only available in the darcs version of
XMonadContrib (which is best built against the darcs version of
xmonad). So the process looks roughly like:
1. Install darcs from your package manager, or via "cabal install darcs"
2. darcs get http://code.haskell.org/xmonad && cd xmonad && cabal install
3. darcs get http://code.haskell.org/XMonadContrib && cd XMonadContrib
&& cabal install

The default layout, Tall, allows you to put all the windows in a single row or column. With the default xmonad settings, press Mod+Period to decrease the number of master windows to zero. This will cause all windows to appear in a single column. If you Mod+Space to the next default layout, Mirror Tall, pressing Mod+Period will make the windows appear in a single row. You can also edit your configuration to default to no master windows by setting nmaster to zero. To be able to resize each window, you can use ResizableTile instead of Tall.

You can also use one of the column layouts modified with Mirror, which rotates a layout between horizontal and vertical. -- brandon s allbery allbery.b@gmail.com wandering unix systems administrator (available) (412) 475-9364 vm/sms
