The specific desktop environment -- (DE) modules like "XMonad.Config.Gnome" use this module's -- @desktopConfig@ to set up basic communication between xmonad and -- the DE via a subset of the Extended Window Manager Hints (EWMH) -- specification. Extra xmonad settings unique to specific DE's are -- added by overriding or modifying @desktopConfig@ fields in the -- same way that the default configuration is customized in -- @~\/.xmonad/xmonad.hs@. -- -- For more information about EWMH see: -- -- -- -- See also: "XMonad.Hooks.EwmhDesktops", "XMonad.Hooks.ManageDocks", -- "XMonad.Util.EZConfig". -- * Usage -- $usage desktopConfig, -- * Customizing a desktop config -- $customizing -- ** Modifying layouts, manageHook, or key bindings -- $layouts desktopLayoutModifiers -- ** Modifying the logHook -- $logHook -- ** Modifying the handleEventHook -- $eventHook -- ** Modifying the startupHook -- $startupHook ) where import XMonad import XMonad.Hooks.ManageDocks import XMonad.Hooks.EwmhDesktops import XMonad.Util.Cursor import qualified Data.Map as M -- $usage -- While this document describes how to configure xmonad, you also need -- to set up your Desktop Environment (DE) and display manager to use -- xmonad as its window manager. For DE and distro specific tips on -- how to do so, see the xmonad wiki: -- -- -- -- To configure xmonad for use with a DE or with DE tools like panels -- and pagers, in place of @def@ in your @~\/.xmonad/xmonad.hs@, -- use @desktopConfig@ or one of the other desktop configs from the -- @XMonad.Config@ namespace. The following setup and customization examples -- work the same way for the other desktop configs as for @desktopConfig@. -- If you are using a specific DE config, import its module instead, and -- use its config in place of @desktopConfig@ in the following examples. -- -- > import XMonad -- > import XMonad.Config.Desktop -- > -- > main = xmonad desktopConfig -- -- @desktopConfig@ is an 'XConfig' that configures xmonad to -- ignore and leave room for dock type windows like panels and trays, adds -- the default key binding to toggle panel visibility, and activates basic -- EWMH support. It also sets a prettier root window mouse pointer. -- $customizing -- To customize a desktop config, modify its fields as is illustrated with -- the default configuration @def@ in "XMonad.Doc.Extending#Extending xmonad". -- $layouts -- See also "XMonad.Util.EZConfig" for more options for modifying key bindings. -- To add to layouts, manageHook or key bindings use something like the following -- to combine your modifications with the desktop config settings: -- -- > import XMonad -- > import XMonad.Config.Desktop -- > import XMonad.Layout.Tabbed -- > import XMonad.Util.EZConfig (additionalKeys) -- > -- > main = -- > xmonad $ desktopConfig { -- > -- add manage hooks while still ignoring panels and using default manageHooks -- > manageHook = myManageHook <+> manageHook desktopConfig -- > -- > -- add a fullscreen tabbed layout that does not avoid covering -- > -- up desktop panels before the desktop layouts -- > , layoutHook = simpleTabbed ||| layoutHook desktopConfig -- > } -- > -- add a screenshot key to the default desktop bindings -- > `additionalKeys` [ ((mod4Mask, xK_F8), spawn "scrot") ] -- -- To replace the desktop layouts with your own choices, but still -- allow toggling panel visibility, use 'desktopLayoutModifiers' to -- modify your layouts: -- -- > , layoutHook = desktopLayoutModifiers $ simpleTabbed ||| Tall 1 0.03 0.5 -- -- @desktopLayoutModifiers@ modifies a layout to avoid covering docks, panels, -- etc. that set the @_NET_WM_STRUT_PARTIAL@ property. -- See also "XMonad.Hooks.ManageDocks". -- $logHook -- To add to the logHook while still sending workspace and window information -- to DE apps use something like: -- -- > , logHook = myLogHook <+> logHook desktopConfig -- -- Or for more elaborate logHooks you can use @do@: -- -- > , logHook = do -- > dynamicLogWithPP xmobarPP -- > updatePointer (Relative 0.9 0.9) -- > logHook desktopConfig -- -- $eventHook -- To customize xmonad's event handling while still having it respond -- to EWMH events from pagers, task bars: -- -- > , handleEventHook = myEventHooks <+> handleEventHook desktopConfig -- -- or 'mconcat' if you write a list event of event hooks -- -- > , handleEventHook = mconcat -- > [ myMouseHandler -- > , myMessageHandler -- > , handleEventHook desktopConfig ] -- -- Note that the event hooks are run left to right (in contrast to -- 'ManageHook'S which are right to left) -- $startupHook -- To run the desktop startupHook, plus add further actions to be run each -- time xmonad starts or restarts, use '<+>' to combine actions as in the -- logHook example, or something like: -- -- > , startupHook = do -- > startupHook desktopConfig -- > spawn "xmonad-restart.sh" -- > adjustEventInput -- desktopConfig = docks $ ewmh def { startupHook = setDefaultCursor xC_left_ptr <+> startupHook def , layoutHook = desktopLayoutModifiers $ layoutHook def , keys = desktopKeys <+> keys def } desktopKeys (XConfig {modMask = modm}) = M.fromList $ [ ((modm, xK_b), sendMessage ToggleStruts) ] desktopLayoutModifiers layout = avoidStruts layout
