Adds several new functions and type for manipulating "simple windows". There are several ways to draw windows in X.U.XUtils and other places already, but they are all quite manual. Most of the time one does not want to think about dimensions much and assumes that the code is smart enough to "figure it out"; this is an attempt to do exactly that. There is a less-managed version `showSimpleWindow`, which just creates and shows the windows, as well as a wrapper-like `withSimpleWindow` that also destroys the window once some action finishes executing. With these functions it should be possible to refactor some contrib modules that currently draw windows manually, like X.U.EasyMotion.
xmonad-contrib
Community-maintained extensions for the XMonad window manager.
xmonad core is minimal, stable, yet extensible. xmonad-contrib is home to hundreds of additional tiling algorithms and extension modules. The two combined make for a powerful X11 window-manager with endless customization possibilities. They are, quite literally, libraries for creating your own window manager.
