Essentially, whenever the tutorial actually has decent material on the
subject matter. The replacement is roughly done as follows:
- logHook → tutorial
- keybindings → tutorial, as this is thoroughly covered
- manageHook → tutorial + X.D.Extending, as the manageHook stuff the
tutorial talks about is a little bit of an afterthought.
- X.D.Extending (on its own) → tutorial + X.D.Extending
- layoutHook → tutorial + X.D.Extending, as the tutorial, while
talking about layouts, doesn't necessarily have a huge focus there.
- mouse bindings → leave this alone, as the tutorial does not at all
talk about them.
Some users like to include type signatures in their configuration. The
Minimize type constructor was not exported, making it impossible to
write a type signature when using minimize.
With this change, a user can write an xmonad.hs like:
import XMonad
import XMonad.Layout.Minimize (Minimize, minimize)
import XMonad.Layout.LayoutModifier
myLayout :: ModifiedLayout
Minimize
(Choose Tall (Choose (Mirror Tall) Full))
Window
myLayout = minimize $ layoutHook def
main :: IO ()
main = xmonad def { layoutHook = myLayout }
* Use global state instead of per-layout - so now window is minimized on
all workspaces (EWMH requires that windows with _NET_WM_STATE_HIDDEN
set should be minimized on any workspace but previously they were not)
* Use `windows` instead of `modify`. That should fix bugs related to
actions that should be done by `windows` and not done by
`modify` (fixes#46)
* Mark module X.H.RestoreMinimized as deprecated
Calling these functions during message handling results in the loss of layout state.
This fixes a number of bugs related to the combination of X.L.Minimize with a decoration.
XMonad.Hooks.Minimize handles both minimize and restore
messages. Handling restore messages was already done in
RestoreMinimized, which this module intends to replace.
Despite myLayouts currently being more popular in examples, make
them all myLayout as in man/xmonad.hs to avoid mixing them in the
same module as was done a few places, leading to confusion for some users.
