Hello everybody. I'm newby in xmonad. I use this config ( http://pastebin.com/Dq1M4pWd) I trying to underestand Expand mechanism (masterkey + h in this config ), because it doesn't work on this (http://itmages.ru/image/view/1646784/12abfc9d) layout. How can I expand size of the left window? Sorry for my English ;-)

You want the Expand message to be handled by LayoutBuilder's LayoutN; but that layout passes it to the currently focused sub-layout (which, showing only a single window at a time, ignores it). I think you'd need a custom variant of LayoutBuilder to get it to support Expand / Shrink messages. -- brandon s allbery kf8nh sine nomine associates allbery.b@gmail.com ballbery@sinenomine.net unix, openafs, kerberos, infrastructure, xmonad http://sinenomine.net

Is there other ways to resize windows in this layout, without using Expand/Shrink messages?
