Usage

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

    import XMonad
    import XMonad.Hooks.DynamicLog
    main = xmonad defaultConfig { logHook = dynamicLog }

dynamicLog :: X ()

Source

An example log hook, print a status bar output to stdout, in the form:

 1 2 [3] 4 7 : full : title

That is, the currently populated workspaces, the current workspace layout, and the title of the focused window.

dynamicLogDzen :: X ()

Source

An example log hook that emulates dwm's status bar, using colour codes printed to dzen Requires dzen. Workspaces, xinerama, layouts and the window title are handled.

dynamicLogXmobar :: X ()

Source

These are good defaults to be used with the xmobar status bar

dynamicLogWithPP :: PP -> X ()

Source

A log function that uses the PP hooks to customize output.

dynamicLogXinerama :: X ()

Source

Workspace logger with a format designed for Xinerama:

 [1 9 3] 2 7

where 1, 9, and 3 are the workspaces on screens 1, 2 and 3, respectively, and 2 and 7 are non-visible, non-empty workspaces

dzen :: (XConfig (Choose Tall (Choose (Mirror Tall) Full)) -> IO ()) -> IO ()

Source

Run xmonad with a dzen status bar set to some nice defaults. Output is taken from the dynamicLogWithPP hook.

 main = dzen xmonad

The intent is that the above config file should provide a nice status bar with minimal effort.

pprWindowSet :: ([WindowSpace] -> [WindowSpace]) -> [Window] -> PP -> WindowSet -> String

Source

pprWindowSetXinerama :: WindowSet -> String

Source

data PP

Source

The PP type allows the user to customize various behaviors of dynamicLogPP
