If it cannot find the font file then it either cannot see it (not in the FontPath) or it is actually not there.

I have been having problems with mouse coordinates in windows that are supposed to be fullscreen but are not.
The latest humble bundle games are a good example.. My pointer is over a certain xy and the game highlights a menu button some pixels to the right.
This sort of behaviour is also present when draggin and dropping something in SpaceFM.

Hallo and thanks for this.
Is there a way to show desktops and windows info directly in conky (no dzen or bar)?
I use a conky-only status bar that I don't wanna change.

@el mariachi, just show your post; it is weird. I have no idea what could be causing that
I've used SpaceFM and pcmanfm in the past, and I tested both again and I cannot reproduce that
even tried with different branches and multi-screen. Are you still getting that? What is your conf?
@hatuey, I do not use conky, but if conky accepts input then it is possible.
Do a search on this topic, I think this came up before; not sure where it resulted.
If you give me a snippet of how conky can display something given in its stdin or
through a file then it should be doable.
If conky can run independent commands, like invoke the shell with some command
and display that, it is easy to just convert the scripts to run inside conky ..

Hi everyone hot to way a correct method in config file set the dmenu color and font , i try that other settings called dmenu.sh (include colors and fonts) btw not working. Fonts like Droid Sans Mono. Also this version than i used : dmenu-pango-imlib & lolimpd

@F34R
There are 2 ways.1) lolimpdnu supports ~/.dmenurc
syntax is LOLIMPDNU_DMENU="dmenu <your options>" (default is dmenu -i -l 15)2) Write wrapper script called dmenu that calls real dmenu and put it earlier in your PATH.
Yes I mean two method , both settings need for set smaller font btw only showed big fonts. (Try Droid Sans Mono 9 , Droid Sans Mono-9 and -*-droid sans mono-*-*-normal-*-10-*-*-*-*-*-*-*)
and i call the wrapper with sh in config.def.h

That only works for monsterwm, it won't work for other programs that use dmenu since they call the dmenu binary, not dmenu.sh.
You need to use the exact same name "dmenu" in PATH that is before the PATH where the real dmenu binary is in.

I try this
static const char *menucmd[] = { "dmenu_run", "-fn", "Droid Sans Mono 8", NULL};
this is worked , with -p (path) call the wrapper btw not working.
and in dmenurc
LOLICTRL_DMENU='dmenu -i -f -l 12 -nb #1b1c1f -sb #862626 -sf #a1a1a1 -fn terminus' [b]-- i changed via droid sans mono btw already doesn't happend and not correctly the font size set. [/b]

okay another question how to set a prntsc command to monsterwm config.def ? I merged from Shinryuu double screen setup.
here is my file
I get some errors
monsterwm build options:
CFLAGS = -std=c99 -pedantic -Wall -Wextra -I. -I/usr/include -I/usr/X11R6/include -DVERSION="cookies-git" -Os
LDFLAGS = -L/usr/lib -lc -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lX11 -s
CC = cc
creating config.h from config.def.h
CC monsterwm.c
In file included from monsterwm.c:102:0:
config.h:121:40: error: ‘togglefullscreen’ undeclared here (not in a function)

Hi, i have a small question for monsterwm.
I am using thunderbird as my email client. For example, i put it in desktop 4, while i stay in another desktop. When there is a new mail, thunderbird will popup a message window in the current desktop, this is correct. But if i click the popup window, it cannot go to desktop 4 automatically. I have to manually switch to it.
How do you solve this problem? thanks alot

I'm currently hacking monsterwm to make it what is never was set out to be (implementing EWMH support) and perhaps some users will appreciate some of the features I'm implementing. Whenever I think I implement something that could either make it into master or another branch, or that some users might like I will share it here with you.
First feature I'm sharing with you is togglefloat; just middle click on afloating client to bring it back to tiling.
void togglefloat(void) {
Desktop *d = &desktops[currdeskidx];
if (!d->curr || d->curr->isfull || !d->curr->isfloat) return;
d->curr->isfloat = False;
tile(d);
}
And in config.h:
static Button buttons[] = {
...
{ MOD1, Button2, togglefloat, {0}},
...
};
I have so far also added EWMH desktop support, so for example Conky's desktop feature will work. I saw it was requested a few pages back, so if you are still interested give me a shout!

Heh, Looks interesting but it doesn't support multi monitor setup so I can't test it until I try to modify it around. I've been on monsterwm for a long time and it's nice to hear that someone is banging it around. Thumbs up

Ah yes, I don't have a multimonitor setup (nor is the original MonsterWM multimonitor), so I can not add that. If you get around to fixing this, I'll be interested to see what you came up with!

Cookie, why doesn't MonsterWM work with xkill? What event does xkill give out? I know MonsterWM listens to WM_DELETE_WINDOW, but apparantly that's not working..

hello everyone and sorry for me being absent lately.
I was working two jobs and trying to keep up with things, friends and life is taking up a lot of time
@c00kie is my config "normal"?
yes, it looks ok and works ok. AFAIU, the misplaced mouse and focus
problem hasn't been happening from the begining. Can you remember
what you might have updated or changed when it started ?
Could it be somethng you added in your .xinitrc ?

When there is a new mail, thunderbird will popup a message window in the current desktop, this is correct. But if i click the popup window, it cannot go to desktop 4 automatically. I have to manually switch to it.
hi, can you run xprop on the popup window and paste the output?
if the popup has its own class, a rule can be set to always make it show up a specific desktop

that's great yeah, monsterwm was not heading out that direction, but it might turn out nice.
if you need any help or get into any kind of trouble, do ask.

hmm, I'm sure it used to work at some point. Playing a bit with it, it seems it "semi-works"
ie 'xkill -id xxxxxx' will work; what doesn't work is xkill getting the id of the window clicked
I should look into what xkill is doing. As a workaround:
xwininfo -int
<click the window that is to be killed>
<get the window id>
xkill -id <window-id>
will do the job ..

hi F34R, did you solve your previous problems with dmenu and config.h ?
to show japanese characters you need some font that supports the japanese glyphs.
what font are you using ?

Reading man xkill shows that the author does not guarantee that every app will be killed.
xkill -frame
seems to get the job done here.

Sorry, maybe i didn't describe clearly in last post. The popup window should go to the current "active" desktop, which is right, to let me see the message. But after i click the message, i should be switched to "desktop 4" automaticlly to view the mail.
A similay situation is :
If i have firefox in desktop 1, and i am currently reading a pdf in desktop 2. If i click a link in the pdf, a new tab will be openned in firefox. So i should be automatically switched to desktop 1 to see the webpage. But now this dose not happen.
Thank you

Regarding xkill, I found out that if we use DWM's setclientstate(), it will work with one issue: it closes all instances of the same application (e.g. if you have multiple gnome-terminal instances running, it will kill them all)
EDIT: I just found out this only happens in GNOME applications, so this is probably related GApplication or GtkApplication.
xkill -frame and xkill -id do indeed work, but why doesn't the normal xkill command work? Off to investigate...

terminus doesn't have the japanese glyphs iirc, so you may want to add a font in the FONT line in bar's config.h, so that it will fallback to that font to search for those glyphs.

I get it now. It is possible with the current implementation.
The two senarios look alike, but actually differ a lot.
The first one, clicking a popup and being redirected to its parent is doable.
One needs to search for the parent window, locate the desktop it lies on and
switch desktop and give that window focus.
The second is quite different, as the link is not associated with any other window.
Actually the window manager has no notion of "link" or any content.
imo, the correct solution is some form of IPC (most probably dbus).
One could implement a reaction to the event (a new tab generates an notify event)
that would switch to that window's desktop and give the window focus, but this
would soon get very tiring as there would be automatic desktop-switching and
focusing in unexpected times.
@Unia I hadn't had time to look into xkill
We should check how it tries to identify the window that was clicked.

My problem(s):
a) when being in tiled mode and having as example 2 terminals open (urxvt for me), the termial on the left monitor overlaps to the right monitor by about 20-30px i guess. being in grid mode, it's the opposite way around. same for chromium, xterm and basically everything else. also, the program whats open on the right window (the one with 1600x900 resolution) has it's bottom cut up. i'm not sure for how much but i guess for the difference between 900 and 1050.
any ideas? files, configs you need?
things i tried:
- nvidia module instead of nouveau (not helping)
- awesome as wm (there it works oddly enough)
- works normally with gnome
- making a screenshot with scrot, the file is 3280x1050
