XMonad.Layout.DecorationMadness

A collection of decorated layouts: some of them may be nice, some usable, others just funny.

Usage

You can use this module with the following in your ~/.xmonad/xmonad.hs:

 import XMonad.Layout.DecorationMadness

Then edit your layoutHook by adding the layout you want:

 main = xmonad defaultConfig { layoutHook = someMadLayout }

For more detailed instructions on editing the layoutHook see:

XMonad.Doc.Extending

You can also edit the default theme:

 myTheme = defaultTheme { inactiveBorderColor = "#FF0000"
                        , activeTextColor     = "#00FF00" }

and

 mylayout = tabbed shrinkText myTheme ||| Full ||| etc..

When a layout is resizable, this means two different things: you can grab a window's decoration with the pointer and move it around, and you can move and resize windows with the keyboard. For setting up the key bindings, please read the documentation of XMonad.Layout.WindowArranger

The default theme can be dynamically change with the xmonad theme selector. See XMonad.Prompt.Theme. For more themes, look at XMonad.Util.Themes
