The 'xmobar', 'dzen', and -- 'statusBar' functions are preferred over the other options listed below, as -- they take care of all the necessary plumbing -- no shell scripting required! -- -- Alternatively, you can choose among several default status bar formats -- ('dynamicLog' or 'dynamicLogXinerama') by simply setting your logHook to the -- appropriate function, for instance: -- -- > main = xmonad $ def { -- > ... -- > logHook = dynamicLog -- > ... -- > } -- -- For more flexibility, you can also use 'dynamicLogWithPP' and supply -- your own pretty-printing format (by either defining one from scratch, -- or customizing one of the provided examples). -- For example: -- -- > -- use sjanssen's pretty-printer format, but with the sections -- > -- in reverse -- > logHook = dynamicLogWithPP $ sjanssenPP { ppOrder = reverse } -- -- Note that setting the @logHook@ only sets up xmonad's output; you -- are responsible for starting your own status bar program (e.g. dzen -- or xmobar) and making sure xmonad's output is piped into it -- appropriately, either by putting it in your @.xsession@ or similar -- file, or by using @spawnPipe@ in your @main@ function, for example: -- -- > import XMonad.Util.Run -- for spawnPipe and hPutStrLn -- > -- > main = do -- > h <- spawnPipe "xmobar -options -foo -bar" -- > xmonad $ def { -- > ... -- > logHook = dynamicLogWithPP $ def { ppOutput = hPutStrLn h } -- -- If you use @spawnPipe@, be sure to redefine the 'ppOutput' field of -- your pretty-printer as in the example above; by default the status -- will be printed to stdout rather than the pipe you create. -- -- Even if you don't use a statusbar, you can still use -- 'dynamicLogString' to show on-screen notifications in response to -- some events. For example, to show the current layout when it -- changes, you could make a keybinding to cycle the layout and -- display the current status: -- -- > , ((mod1Mask, xK_a ), sendMessage NextLayout >> (dynamicLogString myPP >>= xmessage)) -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- | Run xmonad with a dzen status bar with specified dzen -- command line arguments. -- -- > main = xmonad =<< dzenWithFlags flags myConfig -- > -- > myConfig = def { ... } -- > -- > flags = "-e onstart lower -w 800 -h 24 -ta l -fg #a8a3f7 -bg #3f3c6d" -- -- This function works much in the same way as the 'dzen' function, only that it -- can also be used to customize the arguments passed to dzen2, e.g changing the -- default width and height of dzen2. -- -- You should use this function only when the default 'dzen' function does not -- serve your purpose. -- dzenWithFlags :: LayoutClass l Window => String -- ^ Flags to give to @dzen@ -> XConfig l -- ^ The base config -> IO (XConfig (ModifiedLayout AvoidStruts l)) dzenWithFlags :: forall (l :: * -> *).
