xmonad Hacking Thread

Paul-S: Use "Sans:pixelsize=9" instead. "Sans" defaults to either "Bitstream Vera Sans" or "Deja Vu Sans" I can not recall exactly, but personally I can not tell the difference between these two fonts.

brisbin33 · 2009-12-03 15:04:45

have you tried other xft fonts? do none work or just this one?

/edit: whoops, didn't see new post on next page... ignore me if Ashren's solution works out .

Hi Ashren, brisbin33 I tried multiple different xft fonts too, it just uses some default font. The prompt is at the bottom of the screen.

Cheers
Paul-S

I'm trying to get xmonad playing nicely with my dual monitors. Basic functionality works fine, but how do I get xmobar and trayer to work? When I specific xmobar to be on the "left" it puts it on my default monitor, and trayer on the right it will put it all the way on the other side of my desktop, on the second monitor. I want them both on the same screen in this configuration
On my setup, I have trayer on my far right hand monitor, so this isn't a problem. .xmobar by default goes to the main monitor. Trayer goes to the far left or far right of the setup. So an easy fix (if you like it), might be to left-align trayer, and then setup xmobar to go right. It should stay on screen 0 but be right aligned, and trayer should be all the way to the right. Maybe...
If this is not acceptable or flat out doesn't work, then maybe you can do something with the --distance option. It is a width in pixels, so perhaps if you did --distance [width of second monitor] it would place it in the right place?
The manpage for trayer is included in this post, if you need it:
http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=46818

Thanks! I just realized that xmonad is trying to use my external display as screen 0 (probably because xrandr is too, for that matter). Is there any way to force xrandr to use LVDS1 as screen 0 always and VGA1, when it's present be screen 1?

edit: found the answer myself: just use --primary with xrandr after the display you want as primary

Say you have have a window that is set to float, you resize it to your liking. How do you make it stay that size the next time its opened or maximized?

Ashren · 2009-12-03 21:49:32

Paul-S: I've tried find a solution to your problem. The following works for me:

appFontXft :: String
appFontXft = "xft:Sans:pixelsize=9"

myXPConfig = defaultXPConfig
     {     font              = appFontXft
         , bgColor           = "#333333"
         , fgColor           = "#FFFFFF"
         , fgHLight          = "#000000"
         , bgHLight          = "#BBBBBB"
         , borderColor       = "#FFFFFF"
         , promptBorderWidth = 1
         , position          = Bottom
         , height            = 18
         , historySize       = 256
         , historyFilter     = id
         , defaultText       = []
     }

...

    , ((modMask,               xK_x     ), shellPrompt myXPConfig)

...

This does not work with dzen2 btw. So just create a separate variable for dzen2.

And also you need to have haskell-xft-x11 installed as well.

I hope it will work for you.

Cheers for that Ashren, my config was fine after all, it was the haskell-xft-x11 that was missing. I had haskell-x11-darcs installed, my own damn fault Yay now it works

Thanks

I have a little script like that, my problem is I do not know how to add custom keys to my xmonad.hs, it doesnt seem to resemble other peoples that are posted.

}

Ok, from comparing your code to mine, it looks like all that you will need to do is to change your toggleStrutsKey (colored red above) a little bit and you can make it a list of keys.

Mine is called myKeys and I will post the line and some of the bindings:

myKeys conf@(XConfig {XMonad.modMask = modMask}) = M.fromList $
    [ ((mod4Mask, xK_Print), spawn "scrot screen_%Y-%m-%d.png -d 1") -- take screenshot
    , ((modMask .|. controlMask, xK_r), spawn "killall dzen2 && killall conky && sleep 0.5" >> restart "xmonad" True) -- restart xmonad
   -- Restart xmonad
    , ((modMask              , xK_q     ), spawn "xmonad --recompile; xmonad --restart")
    ]
    ++
    -- mod-[1..9], Switch to workspace N
    -- mod-shift-[1..9], Move client to workspace N
    [((m .|. modMask, k), windows $ f i)
    | (i, k) <- zip (XMonad.workspaces conf) [xK_1 .. xK_9]
    , (f, m) <- [(W.greedyView, 0), (W.shift, shiftMask)]]
    ++
    -- mod-{w,e,r}, Switch to physical/Xinerama screens 1, 2, or 3
    -- mod-shift-{w,e,r}, Move client to screen 1, 2, or 3
     [((m .|. modMask, key), screenWorkspace sc >>= flip whenJust (windows . f))
    | (key, sc) <- zip [xK_w, xK_e, xK_r] [0..]
    , (f, m) <- [(W.view, 0), (W.shift, shiftMask)]]

So if you make some changes to yours, you should be able to add the other keybindings without much trouble.

Knute · 2009-12-04 04:04:17

hehehe.... That error means that it doesn't have a definition for M.

Like an idiot I didn't mention the import, simply because it's been quite a while since I set it up.

I think this is the right one, but if it's not....

import qualified Data.Map as M

I'm not sure if there are other dependancies or not, if you get any more, post them, and we can try to figure them out.

axion419 · 2009-12-04 04:18:20

after adding that import, i now get.

What is the best way to launch new programs that you don't have a keyboard shortcut for? I'm tired of starting a new terminal to launch everything I want and then closing it when I'm done. Has anyone written up a little run dialog script using Xmonad's prompt/input modules?

Paul-S · 2009-12-05 20:39:50

jtemple just use dmenu or the xmonad shell prompt

dmenu will work automatically if you install it. Xmonad.Prompt.Shell is nicer in my opinion, but it takes some configuration.

katzen · 2009-12-10 14:35:58

Thanks to this thread, I'm into xmonad too!
I just have a few questions about xmonad and conky:
-Is it possible to resize an applications in a different direction than the default one? For example if I'm in tall layout and I want to resize one of the applications on the right vertically, instead of horizzontally, what should I do?
- Can I specify a different default size for some applications? For example I want the terminal to always start smaller than my browser when I only have my browser open.
- I can't specify hex colors in conky. If I try to put into conkyrc something like ^fg(#ffffff) conky doesn't display anything. ^fg(white) works perfectly. I use conky-cli
- Is there a nice weather script for conky to use with conky piped in dzen?

That's my config btw (basically a mix of the first two posts and other things from the net )

I can't answer your conky questions. For resizing however you can try XMonad.Layout.ResizableTile. It's not great, trying to resize multiple windows in the same column or row is quite awkward, but its workable.

thanks for the answer.
If I undestand how this module work, it adds anothe layout to tall full and mirror where you can resize things. What I was searching for is much simpler, I'd simply like to have a keybinding to resize a window in the non default direction, but since there is an additional module to do this, I guess it's not possible...

katzen: After conky version 1.6 you need to use double #'s in order to use hex colors, since conky now sees single #'s as comment indicators. Example: "^fg(##ffffff).

katzen: You're right it doesn't work. I wrote the above by memory. Try adding a \ before the color instead like this; "^fg(\#ffffff)"

Since you are using conky-cli you might as well use an earlier version of conky.

So here is a modified PKGBUILD if you don't want to use the above approach:

# Contributor: Karol Cichy <slothck@gmail.com>

pkgname=conky-cli
pkgver=1.6.1
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="Conky command line, without X11 dependencies"
arch=(i686 x86_64)
url="http://conky.sourceforge.net/"
license="custom"
replaces=('torsmo')
provides=('conky')
conflicts=('conky')
depends=('glib2')
makedepends=('pkgconfig')
source=(http://downloads.sourceforge.net/conky/conky-$pkgver.tar.gz)
md5sums=('c55e4229b71d3856cad093cefe8cd38b')
build() {
  cd $startdir/src/conky-$pkgver
  touch ./data/conky_no_x11.conf
  ./configure \
  --prefix=/usr \
  --sysconfdir=/etc \
  --disable-lua \
  --disable-double-buffer \
  --disable-x11 \
  --disable-xdamage \
  --disable-own-window \
  --disable-xft \
  --disable-hddtemp \
  --disable-portmon
  make || return 1
  make DESTDIR=$startdir/pkg install
  install -D -m644 COPYING $startdir/pkg/usr/share/licenses/conky/LICENSE
}

could someone tell me how to find out the "className" of a specific program? finding the "resource" is fairly easy but just won't do sometimes...

I have an alias that I use in my ~/.zshrc (but if you use bash you would need to put your alias in your ~/.bashrc):

alias xp='echo "WM_CLASS(STRING) = \"NAME\", \"CLASS\"" && xprop | grep "WM_WINDOW_ROLE\|WM_CLASS"'

When I type in xp into a terminal, my mouse pointer will change to a cross, and when I click on the appropriate window, xprop will will show the info for that window in the following format:

 8:47PM % xp                                                                            ~ (knute) pts/0
WM_CLASS(STRING) = "NAME", "CLASS"
WM_WINDOW_ROLE(STRING) = "browser"
WM_CLASS(STRING) = "Navigator", "Minefield"
 8:49PM % xp                                                                            ~ (knute) pts/0
WM_CLASS(STRING) = "NAME", "CLASS"
WM_CLASS(STRING) = "urxvt", "URxvt"
 8:50PM %                                                                               ~ (knute) pts/0

HTH,
