XMonad.Layout.SimpleDecoration

A layout modifier for adding simple decorations to the windows of a given layout. The decorations are in the form of ion-like tabs for window titles.

Usage:

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

import XMonad.Layout.SimpleDecoration

Then edit your layoutHook by adding the SimpleDecoration decoration to your layout:

myL = simpleDeco shrinkText def (layoutHook def)
main = xmonad def { layoutHook = myL }

For more detailed instructions on editing the layoutHook see:

You can also edit the default configuration options.

mySDConfig = def { inactiveBorderColor = "red"
                 , inactiveTextColor   = "red"}

and

myL = dwmStyle shrinkText mySDConfig (layoutHook def)
