Before this fix, when using layoutHintsToCenter together with MultiColumns, in certain situations XMonad would render the border of the focused window below a border of unfocused windows. This looks odd and is here fixed by changing MultiColumns to always place the focused window in front (even though they should not really overlap) and making LayoutHints preserve the order returned from the underlying layout, except for the focused window that is placed on top. This is a good idea since layoutHintsToCenter requires the focused window to be on top for good rendering, even if that is not really required when the underlying layout is used on its own. This way layoutHintsToCenter requires less of the layout that is modified and MultiColumns is more compatible with future layout modifiers that are not so considerate.
xmonad-contrib: Third Party Extensions to the xmonad Window Manager
You need the ghc compiler and xmonad window manager installed in order to use these extensions.
For installation and configuration instructions, please see the [xmonad website] xmonad, the documents included with the [xmonad source distribution] xmonad-git, and the [online haddock documentation] xmonad-docs.
