--
-- Import this module as qualified like so:

-- > import qualified XMonad.Util.Hacks as Hacks

-- $windowedFullscreenFix

-- $windowedFullscreenFix
-- Windowed fullscreen describes the behaviour in which XMonad,
-- by default, does not automatically put windows that request being fullscreened
-- into actual fullscreen, but keeps them constrained
-- to their normal window dimensions, still rendering them in fullscreen.
--
-- With chromium based applications like Chrome, Discord and others this
-- can cause issues, where the window does not correctly see the size of the window
-- when displaying the fullscreen content, thus cutting off the window content.
--
-- This function works around that issue by forcing the window to recalculate their
-- dimensions after initiating fullscreen, thus making chrome-based applications
-- behave properly when in windowed fullscreen.
--
-- The following gif shows the behaviour of chrome (left) without this fix
-- compared to firefox, which already behaves as expected by default:

--
-- Using this function, chrome will now behave as expected as well:

--
-- Usage:
-- add to handleEventHook as follows:
--
-- > handleEventHook = handleEventHook def <+> Hacks.windowedFullscreenFixEventHook
--
-- | Fixes fullscreen behaviour of chromium based apps by quickly applying and undoing a resize.
-- This causes chromium to recalculate the fullscreen window
-- dimensions to match the actual "windowed fullscreen" dimensions.

-- $java
-- | Some java Applications might not work with xmonad. A common workaround would be to set the environment
-- variable @_JAVA_AWT_WM_NONREPARENTING@ to 1. The function 'javaHack' does exactly that.
-- Example usage:
--
-- > main = xmonad $ Hacks.javaHack (def {...})
--
-- | Fixes Java applications that don't work well with xmonad, by setting @_JAVA_AWT_WM_NONREPARENTING=1@
