a floating gimp... what does 'floating' really mean?

Hi, i' just pushed some patches to my repository here: http://gorgias.mine.nu/repos/xmonad-contrib/ among the one that adds a simple floating layout, based on the new stuff I've been coding lately. See the gimp in action: http://gorgias.mine.nu/xmonadShots/gimpFloatingAroung.png there's no mouse interface so far, but you can move and resize windows with the keyboard (which actually fulfills my needs...;). To test it, just try my default configuration (you need xmobar I think): import XMonad import XMonad.Config.Arossato (arossatoConfig) main = xmonad =<< arossatoConfig I'd like to add the fact that the real part of the SimpleFloat layout is made up of 15 lines of code. Many of them could be removed by a real coder...;) Hope you'll enjoy. Andrea

Very exciting! Keep pushing on this :) How much have you had to change the core?

did you see the vertically reflected floating layout? http://gorgias.mine.nu/xmonadShots/floatingReflected.png Andrea
