Not everything belongs in core. What I usually suggest in IRC is: setBorder bw = ask >>= \w -> liftX (withDisplay $ \d -> io $ setWindowBorderWidth d w bw) >> idHook and then apply it to windows in the ManageHook. An argument could possibly be made for that function going into the core... but probably should start out in contrib. -- brandon s allbery kf8nh sine nomine associates allbery.b@gmail.com ballbery@sinenomine.net unix, openafs, kerberos, infrastructure, xmonad http://sinenomine.net

Sometimes it would be better to customize border width depending on window. Is it possible to merge this functionality into core? -- Bogdan Sinitsyn _______________________________________________ xmonad mailing list xmonad@haskell.org http://mail.haskell.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xmonad It can be done by adding new field of type `Query (Maybe Dimension)`. This solution does not break compatibility with almost all old configurations(it will break only those, who use `XConfig { ... }`, not `def { ... }`). PR on GitHub is already made.
