 Guest62 | I can't tell because of the colors. Let me try and change that. | 22:20:37 |
| Guest62 | It seems xmobar is overlaying? The title bar from the browser(firefox) seems fine to me. Terminal(kitty) seems to have a bit more spacing when it is under the browser in the slave side compared to the terminal(kitty) on the master pane. | 22:25:22 |
 geekosaur | that would mean it's not an xmonad issue at this point, I think; xmobar is doing something wrong (maybe lowerOnStart isn't taking effect?) | 22:27:09 |
| geekosaur | the strut stuff requires that both the window manager and the dock behave according to certain rules, and either one can get it wrong | 22:28:39 |
| Guest62 | Best thing I can do now is maybe try another panel? Like polybar? | 22:32:27 |
| Guest62 | If xmonad is not the problem I am happy with that because I don't really know haskell so I only depend on the modules man page :') | 22:33:56 |

![@[Leary]:libera.chat](./avatar/%5BLeary%5D) [Leary] | Ask Yourself🍉: XMonad is actually easier to use on NixOS than on any other distro; there need be nothing more too it than setting that option, though you probably also want `xmonad.enableContribAndExtras`. You just put your xmonad.hs in the usual place and it will be built and used. | 01:15:19 |
| [Leary] | But since apparently that's not the case here, you'll have to tell us more about what exactly you're seeing, like what compile errors you get from your config. | 01:16:04 |

But since apparently that's not the case here, you'll have to tell us more about what exactly you're seeing, like what compile errors you get from your config. I did get it working eventually. But I really appreciate the reply. The problem was to do with GHC version on path not having right Xmonad and Xmonad contrib. The FP server helped me solve it. | 01:17:48 |
| Ask Yourself🍉 | It really is amazing on NixOS. So freaking cool to be able to just run colmena apply and then have xmonad immediately fully functional on any PC I want. 😄 | 01:19:01 |
| [Leary] | It won't actually use whatever GHC is on the path, but all is well if you've got it working. | 01:29:24 |
| Ask Yourself🍉 | I may be mis-describing the error. Sorry. But yes, got it working. | 01:30:39 |

 thyriaen | I am running polybar with the tray module - when i click the tray icons and a context menu pops up -- it does not follow my gtk rules - where is the look set for those ? | 14:48:35 |
|  jeeeun3 joined the room. | 15:29:57 |
| geekosaur | odd, that should cause it to go on top. but you can try XMonad.Hooks.InsertPosition and add to the manageHook: insertPosition Above Newer | 16:48:03 |
 kora9 | When I click on a trayer tray icon some applications will show a context menu that doesn't consist of anything but "show the application". Is it possible to simply open the application instead? | 17:31:43 |
| geekosaur | I think that's up to the application that registered the tray item | 17:32:41 |
| kora9 | geekosaur: Yeah, there's no hacky way to override it? | 17:36:47 |
| kora9 | I was thinking it might be best to disable the tray functionality of the apps (most has that feature) and instead hide them in xmonad | 17:37:59 |
| kora9 | That way xmonad would have more control over it | 17:38:17 |
| kora9 | I could probably create a fake tray for hidden windows too | 17:38:40 |

| kora9 | geekosaur: Hmm. I currently am trying to use this: https://hackage.haskell.org/package/xmonad-contrib-0.17.1/docs/XMonad-Util-NamedScratchpad.html | 18:07:52 |
| geekosaur | sure, that should work too | 18:13:42 |
| kora9 | geekosaur: Does xmonad have some native feature similar to labels and autogrouping in wm's like cwm (i think it's called 'tagging' sometimes also?) | 18:17:53 |
| kora9 | I'm aware that I can set actions based on xprop properties, like I do with 'float' for some types of windows and I guess you could code groups based on that. Just wondering if there was some native functionality for it | 18:18:45 |
| geekosaur | https://hackage.haskell.org/package/xmonad-contrib-0.17.1/docs/XMonad-Actions-TagWindows.html ? | 18:19:06 |
| kora9 | geekosaur: Oh that's perfect! Exactly what I was looking for! Thanks :) I'm pretty amazed that xmonad has everything I'm looking for. At worst it seems like I'm just limited by my own haskell knowledge | 18:22:19 |
