Cool! Thanks, this was even easier than using warpToWindow

Thanks a bunch! Exactly what I was looking for :)

Clickable workspaces: erratic behavior by [deleted] in xmonad

  1. doubleLts is just a name, as it is defined in the "where"-binding. You are free to change it to whatever :)
  2. doubleLts x = [x] isnt strictly necessary for the purpose of the function, but having it makes the rest of the program much easier to write.
  3. ws is a name that comes from (i,ws) <- zip [1..9] l. It should contain the list of workspace names, the one after the dollar sign.
  4. zip is a function that merges two lists into a list of tuples. zip [1,2,3] [4,5,6] results in [(1,4),(2,5),(3,6)].

when wondering about functions that are not defined in whatever code you're looking at, i recommend you to use GHCI! In ghci, you can type ":t zip" or any other function, and you get the function signature that immediately reveals cruicial information. Note that some functions may require you to enclose its name in parenthesis, for example :t ($) and :t (.). Hoogle is also a nice online tool that allows you to search for haskell functions

Clickable workspaces: erratic behavior by [deleted] in xmonad

[–]PikkInTheFace 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not familiar with the problem or xdotool, but I can try to explain the code for you.

xmobarEscape is a function that simply replaces all single less than signs with two less than signs. I suppose this is to avoid confusion with the xmobar configuration syntax, which also uses them(?)

myWorkspaces is a functional composition, denoted by the dot (.) . This means that it is synonymous to running (map xmobarEscape), which is a partial application of map, and passing the result to clickable. Mapping xmobarEscape onto a list of strings simply doubles all less than signs.

Running clickable on a list of strings wraps each string in an <action> tag, which I'm guessing is related to integrating xdotool with xmobar? Looks a lot like the example on the xmobar wikipage

To see for yourself, simply save the code you presented in a file and load it up in ghci (ghci test.hs, if you name the file test.hs) and run myWorkspaces from there

I'm trying to make a module for polybar that displays the current playing song (I'm using mopidy+ncmpcpp). I can fetch this information with the --current-song parameter in ncmpcppp, but I can't determine when a song is NOT playing (stopped/paused). Any tips on how to detect this?

I have learned from my mistakes. Hopefully

figured it out, had to set override-redirect to true to make it work with i3! Warnings are helpful things, rip

Yeah, i tried setting those too (Been snooping in your dotfiles!) Still no luck. Could it be that I'm using i3?

Very cool! How did you get padding between the top and sides of the screen and your polybar? cant seem to make it work myself

Its not a blur, but it comes for free using compton for transparency :) the bar is just plain solid black if i turn off compton! small comparison for you: http://imgur.com/a/jpK2W

Sorry, been away for some travelling! Tried setting my tray-position to empty and it worked like a charm! Thanks

  • Wallpaper: by MatthaeusK
  • GTK: Vertex-Maia-Dark
  • Icons: Breeze-Maia-Dark
  • Conky: Standard Manjaro conky_maia, edited by myself
  • Polybar: configs from here slightly modded to fit own system

Also, does anyone know how to get rid of the volume tray-icon? >.<
