#xmonad

[xmonad-official]

Okay so there's now NixOS on here. Maybe I should have installed it with a graphical environment rather than with the minimal installer. I spent way too much time figuring out how to get networkmanager to connect to WiFi. I also made this stupid mistake of forgetting my keybind for opening anything on xmonad, so I had to go back into the tty to figure that out. Well now I've got an OS and a window manager!

xmonad - a lightweight window manager for Linux written in Haskell

xmonad – a lightweight window manager for Linux written in Haskell

I’m a big fan of Lightweight Window Managers for Linux, my personal favorite is still IceWM, but I just so happened to install xmonad on my iBookjust to experiment with some other lightweight WMs, but when I logged in, I got a black screen and a pointer with nothing else. No common keyboard shortcuts seemed to do anything either. If I had found this video before (or read the website) things would…

What's xmonad, and why do you use it?

It’s a window manager. It means that I don’t have a normal desktop - instead, I have a bunch of keyboard shortcuts for starting programs and moving windows around.

I use it first and foremost because it’s fast - both in the sense that my laptop runs faster thanks to less superfluous graphics-bullshit, but also in the sense that using keyboard shortcuts is really fast once it becomes muscle memory.

Also, xmonad is written and configured in Haskell, which is my favorite programming language.

I’d show you a picture (and there’s plenty to find on google image search), but the whole point is that there isn’t much to see. None of the visible things on my screen are xmonad. xmonad controls how they’re arranged, but xmonad itself is invisible.

And that’s the second reason I use xmonad. Because it takes up literally zero pixels of screen space. All of my windows are full-screen, nearly - I have a tiny status bar in the top of my screen, which shows battery life and volume and a few other things. The status bar is also not xmonad, by the way. And I have keyboard shortcut to toggle it if I want that extra half centimeter of height.

Windows live in named workspaces, and I can switch to any one of them with just a few keystrokes. I have workspaces that automatically start up certain programs when I navigate there (for example, an email workspace which starts a browser with gmail), and I have programs that automatically open in certain workspaces (if I open a pdf, it gets sent to the pdf-workspace right away). It’s awesome.

Set background image in xmonad

I have just switched from Fluxbox to giving xmonad a go, and I am definitely liking it. However, the one thing I haven’t managed to do is to change my desktop background.

I am using Ubuntu 8 (uh, can’t remember the value after the point), and I installed xmonad through the package manager, and then ran xmonad from the list of environments available on the login…

also i installed ubuntu on my external drive last night! (i tried to install nixos first and then lubuntu but those all had weird stability problems so ubuntu it is!)

and it's the first time i've had a linux desktop system in like two years

and when i logged into my xmonad session and all the config just loaded right up, exactly how i left it last time i configured xmonad

it's like

Xmonad Layout for GIMP

I have been recently googling the perfect xmonad layout for GIMP. Unfortunately, most of the sites linked to this site (nathanhowell.net) which appears to have a misconfigured server. So I'll put the config here:

(Update: ok, so I posted this quickly without having used it a lot. I don’t use the Gimp much anyway, so this mostly meets my needs, but it does have issues. If I get motivated to look into them, I’ll update with a fix if I can.) I just came up with an xmonad layout for gimp that I like quite a bit, so I have to share it… it uses the IM layout (twice) combined with the Full layout to get tools on each side of the screen, with images taking up the whole space between them. Here’s the code (updated to include requirements, etc):

import XMonad.Layout.IM import XMonad.Layout.PerWorkspace import XMonad.Layout.Reflect main = do xmonad defaultConfig { layoutHook = onWorkspace "gimp" gimp } where gimp = withIM (0.11) (Role "gimp-toolbox") $ reflectHoriz $ withIM (0.15) (Role "gimp-dock") Full
