The base that comes with ghc-7.6.1 no longer includes Prelude.catch;
so these modules were changed so that there is no warning for
import Prelude hiding (catch)
At the same time these changes should be compatible with older GHCs,
since the catch being has never been the one in the Prelude.
XMonad core re-exports Control.Monad.State, which includes
a function "state" if you happen to use mtl-2. Since there's
a chance xmonad still works with mtl-1 avoid imports like:
import XMonad hiding (state)
is otherwise very difficult to do. Similarly to X.L.PerWorkspace, it provides
onHost, onHosts, modHost, and modHosts layout modifiers. It attempts to do
smart hostname comparison, such that short names will be matched with short
names and FQDNs with FQDNs.
This module currently requires that $HOST be set in the environment.
You can use System.Posix.Env.setEnv to do so in xmonad.hs if need be.
(Properly, this should be done via the network library, but I'm trying to
avoid adding that dependency.) An alternative would be to shell out to
get the name, but that has considerable portability hurdles.
Change the border resize rectangles to be narrower and only extend
inside the window not outside. Most window managers just seem to use
the border decoration area for starting resizes which is often just 1 pixel
wide but as a compromise the width is now 2 pixels (before it was 10!).
The rectangles are now placed symmetrically within the border and window.
This seems to work ok with PositionStoreFloat for the Bluetile config.
Currently the flash window width leaves a very small amount of padding. This
patch adds some extra horizontal width, governed by text width and length.
While calling paintAndWrite for flash window, the background color from config
should also be passed on as window background in addition to as text background
color. Otherwise the window color gets set to the default black which shows up
when text cannot span whole of the window.
This issue becomes visible when the font size is considerably large or even in
small size with truetype fonts.
In case of using this hook with multiple monitors, the Tag flash was not
following the screen's coordinates. This patch shifts the new window created for
flash according to the Rectangle defined by the screen.
Added new messages the layout understands to allow changing the grid aspect
ratio and setting the fraction of the master to a given value rather than
changing it relative to the current value.
This patch introduces two new message SetMasterRows and SetMasterCols for the
X.GridVariants.SplitGrid layout, which set the number of rows/columns in the
master grid to the given value. This is useful when setting the number of rows
and/or columns non-incrementally using an interface such as GridSelect.
* true error: more modules export foldl/foldl'/foldr, so explicitly use the Data.Foldable one
* -Werror error: transition from Control.OldException to Control.Exception, assuming everything was IOException
This better expresses the idea that the argument to alwaysTrue is just there to
select an instance. Another option could be to do use a fundep, which seems to
be compatible with the two instances so far.
class Predicate p w | p -> w
LayoutBuilderP is similar to LayoutBuilder (and is based on it), but LayoutBuilderP places windows matching given X.U.WindowProperties.Property (or any other predicate) into one rectangle, instead of fixed number of windows.
This patch adds support for calling countScreens in arbitrary places. Prior to
this patch one would end up with an open display for each call of the
countScreens function with would eventually mess up X. This patch ensures that
the display that is no longer needed is closed after the operation and thus
using the function without side effects.
Now TrackFloating remembers focus for the given layout when the other window is
also tiled, but not fed to the given layout: this helps with X.L.IM, among
others.
The X.L.Maximize layout modifier does not track whether the window it stores as
maximized does still exist. The X server reuses window IDs. As a result, I
was able to reproduce the following behaviour (e.g., by opening and closing
xpdf windows): Create a window, maximize it, close it without restoring it to
its normal state. Open a new window with the same window ID (e.g., an xpdf
window after just closing an xpdf window). The new window will open maximized,
which is not what one would expect. This patch addresses this problem,
removing the ID of the maximized window from the layout when the maximized
window is closed.
Addresses the comment that:
If the focus goes from the floating layer to tiling by deleting a floating
window, it's again the master window that gets focus, not the remembered
window.
