Xmonad and vimperator

It seems that vimperator refuses to color my url white. Instead it remains black. (See screenshot).
Without cursor highlighting:
After highlighting with the cursor:
Any ideas? I have two separate installations of xmonad (two different laptops) and both have the same problem.

IIUC, you can quickly change such color scheme settings with Stylish firefox addon, but you can put it in userChrome.css or something too (it could be the other chrome file)
e.g. I wrote two styles for vimperator.
The command line:
#liberator-commandline
background: rgb(230,230,230) !important;
color: rgb(255,44,44) !important;
font-weight: bold !important;
And one for the status line where the URL is:
.hl-StatusLine {
background-color: rgb(230,230,230) !important;
color: black !important;
font-weight: normal !important;
border-top: thin solid rgb(100,100,100) !important;

Xmonad and Xmobar: avoidStruts no longer exposes Xmobar

I've been using Xmonad with the same config for months now. I reinstalled Arch recently, and ever since then avoidStruts no longer keeps Xmobar from being hidden behind windows.
I have installed the xmonad and xmonad-contrib packages; my config compiles without errors. I'm at a loss here because I can't identify any changes that may have been made to either of the aforementioned packages that might cause this issue.

Xmonad and focus follows mouse issue

I've been fiddling around with xmonad, and I notice that with focus follows mouse turned on, when I create a new window the window under the mouse gets selected instead of the window that I have just created. Pretty irritating, Anyone know how to solve that?
Thanks for any help provided,
Kruppe

Yes, disabling the focus follows mouse behaviour makes it so the correct window is always chosen.
I kind of like having focus follows mouse for when I need to copy and paste in applications that don't provide good methods for doing that purely with the keyboard (firefox and most terminals when not using screen). I would therefore like to have focus follows mouse.
Sidenote: What is this updatePointer thing you use and what does it do?

I need a little help with xmonad and stuff

Hi all. I recently changed from fluxbox to xmonad, and I find it fantastic. I have some minor? problems.
In fluxbox I was using xterm as a terminal emulator, but I couldnt use irssi with it, the Alt + w/e keys weren't working. They worked however in aterm and urxvt but those two support only 16 colors, and I wish to use 256 colors, mainly because of my vim color scheme. Is there a solution to be able to run both irssi and vim from the same terminal, or should I run different terminals for them?
Also where can I read up on setting my .Xdefaults and xmonad.hs file? I ripped someones from this forum, and it works nice, but I want to make my onw, but cant find any decent documentation. Thanks.
edit:
I found the solution to using the Alt key in xterm. I had to add theese two lines in my .Xdefaults
XTerm*eightBitInput: false
XTerm*metaSendsEscape: true

Also where can I read up on setting my .Xdefaults and xmonad.hs file? I ripped someones from this forum, and it works nice, but I want to make my onw, but cant find any decent documentation. Thanks.
At the moment, the best source for configs are those posted in the screenshots thread (for both Xdefaults and xmonad.hs), the xmonad config archive (and the available docs from the root page on that site), and our own thread. Unfortunately you'll have to sort of scrounge for good docs on the xmonad.hs at the moment, since most of the information was written for the 0.4 version of xmonad. The configuration has since been made MUCH simpler.
Hope that helps some.

[SOLVED] Trouble installing Xmonad and Xmonad-contrib

I am new to Arch Linux. After using awesome for a month I decided to shift to xmonad.I installed xmonad and xmonad-contrib from official arch repositories by using
pacman -S xmonad xmonad-contrib
and then installed GHC. I was able to start session using
exec xmonad
in my ~/.xsession file. I copied the default xmonad.hs template to my home.
cp /usr/share/xmonad-0.11/man/xmonad.hs ~/.xmonad/xmonad.hs
. However while recompiling I am getting this error -
xmonad.hs:14:18:
Could not find module `XMonad.StackSet'
Use -v to see a list of the files searched for.
So I checked the modules in my ghc

Any Idea why pacman is unable to resolve the dependency. Are they availiable in AUR?

@Raynman
My pacman.conf was really in a very bad shape at the time of installation of Xmonad. I think I must be careless to notice and removed dependency check.
When I compiled my xmonad.hs I found errors related to GHC. I was too surprised, however installed it further. Now since GHC was installed later, it missed some modules which were previously installed.
I tried reinstalling xmonad, xmonad-contrib before but there was no use. However recursively removing and installing, as suggested by you, seems to have fixed have problem. I am now getting following modules in GHC.

Run process in xmonad and capturing output

Hi!
For my xmonad config, I need something like spawn, but that will return any output from the process spawned.
I was thinking of using runProcessWithInput from Xmonad.Utils.Run.
Is there a better way to do this?

You may find runProcess from System.Process to be of some help. It takes several options, including handles for STDIN, STDOUT, and STDERR.

Find a window in XMonad and apply some actions to it

Hi everyone, I think this should be really easy for someone who's good at Haskell but I just couldn't figure it out as I'm bad at it.
Basically I want to search through the list of windows in the current workspace, find one matching some condition and apply some action to it; if not found then create this window.
I had a skeleton code like this
import qualified XMonad.StackSet as W
import XMonad.Actions.WindowGo
findWindow condition actionIfFound actionIfNotFound =
ifWindow (condition <&&> member W.current) windowFound actionIfNotFound
where windowFound = ask >>= w -> do actionIfFound w

XMonad and Compiz (source)

I inquired and finally received back information on this project and figured you guys might be interested.
Here is the email's text:
Follow the instructions to compile from:
http://wiki.compiz.org/C%2B%2BCompiling
replace the src direction from the git clone of core with the attached tar
before compiling compiz
things that use the mouse or workspace management generally dont work.
everything else should work ok.
you'll need to compile extra plugins etc.
All credit goes to tux_mark_5 from #xmonad
I've thrown up the necessary data at my github, so feel free to play with it. Enjoy :>

Xmonad and dmenu options

I've been using xmonad for a while now, and just started playing with Xmonad.Actions.WindowBringer.
It uses dmenu for the menu, and I can't for the life of me figure out where to put the options that I want to use for dmenu. Things like different, and bigger font, different colors, etc....
I looked at the windowbringer.hs file, and found something about dmenu opts = menu dmenu opts or something like that. So I thought that if I could modify that in my ~/.xmonad.hs file, I would be good, but on recompile, I kept getting an error message about that line, so was I on the right track or is there an easier way to do it?

I did not know that, but then again, I only tried dwm (which dmenu came from, if I remember right) for a little while, as I got tired or recompiling it all the time.
I'll give it a shot, though, when it's updated thru pacman.... but I'll try it. Thanks.

If it's true that the prompt does not support pasting of any sort, then your config will be irrelevant and the fix/change will almost certainly have to occur in the X.Prompt internals.

Yes, I tried both. Moving the cursor over the prompt window, it has no "edit" cursor, as in a terminal. Shift insert is the same result.
Well, OK - but would be a nice feature :-). I'll play with it.
Thanks

Xmonad and gnome

Hi, I'm trying to use xmonad as window manager. I used the config in Basic Desktop Integration, but I get
Error detected while loading xmonad configuration file: /home/phrodo_00/.xmonad/xmonad.hs
xmonad.hs:2:7:
Could not find module `XMonad.Config.Gnome':
it is not a module in the current program, or in any known package.
Please check the file for errors.
it seems that it doesn't come with the package... any sugestions?
BTW... I do have xmonad-contrib installed...

Hi. I'm afraid I have the exact same problem. This is my xmonad.hs:
import XMonad
import XMonad.Config.Gnome
main = xmonad gnomeConfig
And yet I get this error:
Error detected while loading xmonad configuration file: /home/olga/.xmonad/xmonad.hs
xmonad.hs:2:7:
Could not find module `XMonad.Config.Gnome':
it is not a module in the current program, or in any known package.
Please check the file for errors.
I can't install xmonad-contrib. I can only install xmonadcontrib.
Apt-get says libghc6-xmonad-contrib-dev replaces that package, so I installed it instead. Still no-go.
What am I to do? I'd be very grateful for any help! ^^

Xmonad and dbus

So I can start Xmonad with dbus but then the keyboard doesn't work (mouse works fine however), and xmobar doesn't show up. If I start it without dbus started, everything works fine. I can then start dbus and things continue to work fine. Any ideas on getting xmonad to start with dbus started?

No - hal has been deprecated. From Xorg 1.8 it is no longer necessary.

Xmonad and aliases

I have been looking for awhile now, and cannot figure out how to get an alias to open up it's program in a set workspace.
i.e I have the alias for my irc to 'urxvt -name irc -e irssi' and when I run irc from the command line I want it to open up in the irc workspace I already have setup.
I have xmonad.hs setup, and have this working for things like firefox, but I cannot get it to work for aliases. Thanks in advance!
If .bashrc or xmonad.hs is needed, I am more than willing to provide

This is the output of xprop.

This is the Hooks section of my xmonad.hs

-- a trick for fullscreen but stil allow focusing of other WSs
myDoFullFloat :: ManageHook
myDoFullFloat = doF W.focusDown <+> doFullFloat
also, using Run or Raise, I can run irssi, but a window never appears for it, and I didn't really want to make a keybinding for it, but I can if I end up having to. It would just be nice to have a way to work with aliases.

Xmonad and Libreoffice/OOo

Hi,
I am very satisfied with my Xmonad setup .
But there's one issue that's annoying me and other users. For them it's even a showstopper. It's the phenomenon that Openoffice or Libreoffice gets into a tight loop when opening a dialog-box. Sometimes even a hard reset is necessary to find a way out.
I am using Xmonad-darcs and my xmonad.hs file is inspired on the beautiful one of pbrisbin.
I've tried the following but for the time being all in vain :
1) added SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gen to the .bash_profile file
2) replaced Openoffice with Libreoffice
3 replaced jre with openjdk6
However the problem persists. I would be very grateful to solve this issue. A working solution might even be a useful addition to the Wiki.
I know that Openoffice and Libreoffice don't fit very well in a mean and lean Xmonad setup (Latex with (g)vim are 'ideologically' more appropriate ). But sometimes I've no choice if I want to keep on communicating in *.doc files with my colleges....
Thx in advance.

Thanks AndyRTR for you quick reply and suggestion.
But to which setting are you referring? A setting in xmonad.hs, in Libreoffice or elsewhere?

[SOLVED] Xmonad and two dzen2 bars

Solved, thanks!

Here is the relevant part of my xmonad.hs; these two bars load next to each other
-- dzen config
sBarCmd = "dzen2 -fn '-*-times-medium-r-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*' -bg '#000000' -fg '#ffffff' -h 16 -w 500 -ta l"
topBarCmd = "conky -c /home/ishikawa/.conkyrc | dzen2 -fn '-*-times-medium-r-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*' -bg '#000000' -fg '#ffffff' -h 16 -w 498 -x 500 -ta r"
