Whordijk: If you've got some time on your hands, sure. It's loads of fun if you don't know haskell - you know it is the "feeling your way around a pitch black room with a long narrow stick breaking stuff along the way until you suddenly hit the light switch" sorta feeling.

That's my story with XMonad.

Whordijk: You should give it a try, I simply love it, it's the perfect WM for me! That said I don't have much experience with dwm so I cannot really compare the two. If you have time to spare, go for it!

Thanks for your replies: I think I might be taking a shot at Xmonad this weekend, just before my new semester starts

Good luck. I just switched a few days ago, mainly for ResizableTall and so i wouldn't have to keep updating all my dwm patches. I'd also been drooling over contrib for a few months. I'm liking it alot so far.

Re: August 2009 Screenshots

I use xmonad because even though haskell may not be friendly, the defaults are really good, and its very stable.

Made some edits, now its got more color (thanks to Daisuke_Aramaki) and in general isn't so ugly:

Is there any wmii style tiling layout yet?

I still kinda miss wmii, I hear from wiki the latest code from the repo has xinerama support. I may have to check this out. I've been using xmonad since i got dual screens.

Re: August 2009 Screenshots

Not much has changed: I've changed my wallpaper and adapted my conky configuration. Still with dwm, although I must say I am getting a bit curious because of all the people who are so positive about Xmonad Should I give it a try...?

Could I see your .Xdefaults terminal color scheme?

Thats true and it even works pretty good

Re: August 2009 Screenshots

As I did this setup on a very old laptop, this is a very minimal configuration to gain maximum speed

clean:

qmpdclient:

opera:

Usually I prefer Firefox over Opera, but at least opera-snapshot from archlinuxfr repo is a whole lot faster than Firefox.

Panel: lxpanel
WM: Openbox

The graph near the clock displays the CPU load.

Re: August 2009 Screenshots

@firecat53: Could you post your todo, and conky-calender scripts?

The todolist is based on todo.sh, which I manage on my server (so I can run a little aimbot to send/receive todo's from my non-smartphone), and copy over to my laptop periodically with cron (todobackup.sh) and run through a wrapper script (todolist.sh) to put the output in the format I prefer.

The Google calendar listing is based conkyGoogleCalendar.py, which I found online (I believe througth the ubuntu forums). I run conky-calendar.sh via cron, which stores the most recent calendar in a file, then displayed with conky. I use a basic cache, so it will only copy the calendar if it can successfully pull it in (i.e., i'm connected to the internet)...otherwise it saves the old one to use.

It's all a bit convoluted, but it works for me

Re: August 2009 Screenshots

much patience can be found in #xmonad.  much patience.

main screen; standard Tall layout with golden ratio sized master:

im layout, can cycle through all my standard layouts in the other 9/10th of that workspace; current background showing in mirage:

nifty circle layout, magicFocus keeps the focused window front and center, additional windows are placed circularly around the outside:

brisbin33: What's the "golden ratio"?

the wikidetails.  think big part, small part.  the ratio of the whole to the big part = the ratio of the big part to the small part.  its an irrational number thought to be an aesthetically pleasing ratio.  lots of examples in nature, anatomy, architecture, etc.

in xmonad you can define what percentage the master pane should take up, and i found some xmonad.hs online that had this:

ratio           = toRational (2/(1 + sqrt 5 :: Double)) -- golden ratio

which (thanks to haskell) is about as close an approximation to an irrational number you'll ever get to use in a config file
