[SOLVED] xmobar below window in workspace 1

Recently, any window covers xmobar in any layout, but only in workspace 1. I haven't changed any config file related to xmobar or xmonad. I tried to recompile xmonad and reboot, but the problem persists...

Re: [SOLVED] xmobar below window in workspace 1

I noticed this problem recently.

EDIT: This is a natural consequence of using a rolling release distribution -- the configuration files may need to be re-jigged following package updates.

Try adding these lines to .xmobarrc:

    , persistent       = True
    , hideOnStart      = False
    , allDesktops      = True
    , overrideRedirect = False

Just to note: you should always post your configuration files when starting support threads.

Re: [SOLVED] xmobar below window in workspace 1

Thank you, only overrideRedirect = False was enough for me. This is my final .xmobarrc:

Config { font = "xft:Terminus:pixelsize=14,ipagothic:pixelsize=14:antialias=false"
       , borderColor = "black"
       , border = NoBorder
       , position = TopW L 98
       , lowerOnStart = True
       , persistent = False
       , overrideRedirect = False
       , commands = [ Run Cpu ["-L","3","-H","50","--normal","green","--high","red"] 100
                    , Run Memory ["-t","Mem: <usedratio>%"] 100
                    , Run BatteryP ["BAT0"] ["-t", "<acstatus>"

    		    , Run Date "%m-%d %a %H:%M" "date" 150
                    , Run StdinReader
                    ]
