I need both (or all three of them, I already had the fullscreen for the layout set too).

Wait, three? What three? Are you maybe talking about these three?:

Code:
fullscreenManageHook myManageHook manageHook gnomeConfig

'cause I'm talking about these 2:

Code:
fullscreenManageHook handleEventHook = fullscreenEventHook

I never had the third one in my code. Later tonight I'll get my hands on XMonad and try switching between this options a bit to find the solution to properly watch YT videos in widescreen and to be able to switch workspaces with a click.

Edit: the third one should be in layoutHook, shouldn't it? Where I have avoidstruts someLayout it should be avoidStruts fullscreenFull someLayout, right?


RE: Xmonad configuration - Deque - 06-28-2013

Yes, it has to be in the layoutHook


RE: Xmonad configuration - noize - 06-28-2013

Code:
xmonad.hs:66:53 The function avoidStruts is applied to two arguments.

Note: if I switch positions I get the same but for fullscreenFull.

This is my xmonad.hs:

Code:
import XMonad import XMonad.Config.Gnome import XMonad.Hooks.DynamicLog import XMonad.Hooks.ManageDocks import XMonad.Hooks.FadeInactive import XMonad.Hooks.SetWMName import XMonad.Util.Run(spawnPipe) import XMonad.Util.EZConfig(additionalKeys) import XMonad.Actions.GridSelect import XMonad.Layout.Fullscreen import XMonad.Layout.PerWorkspace import System.IO myNormalBorderColor = "#cccccc" myFocusedBorderColor = "#0000ff" myManageHook = composeAll [ (className =? "Firefox" <&&> resource =? "Dialog") --> doFloat , className =? "Firefox" --> doShift "web" , manageDocks ] myLayoutMain = Mirror tiled ||| tiled ||| Full where -- default tiling algorithm partitions the screen into two panes tiled = Tall nmaster delta ratio -- The default number of windows in the master pane nmaster = 2 -- Default proportion of screen occupied by master pane ratio = 3/5 -- Ratio of screen to increment by when resizing panes delta = 1/100 myLayoutDefault = tiled ||| Mirror tiled ||| Full where tiled = Tall nmaster delta ratio nmaster = 2 ratio = 3/5 delta = 1/100 myLayoutWeb = Mirror tiled ||| tiled ||| Full where tiled = Tall nmaster delta ratio nmaster = 1 ratio = 3/4 delta = 1/100 myLayoutCoding = tiled ||| Mirror tiled ||| Full where tiled = Tall nmaster delta ratio nmaster = 1 ratio = 1/2 delta = 1/100 main = do xmonad $ gnomeConfig { manageHook = fullscreenManageHook <+> myManageHook <+> manageHook gnomeConfig , handleEventHook = fullscreenEventHook , startupHook = do spawn "gnome-terminal" spawn "firefox" , layoutHook = onWorkspace "main" (fullscreenFull avoidStruts myLayoutMain) $ onWorkspace "web" (fullscreenFull avoidStruts myLayoutWeb) $ onWorkspace "coding" (fullscreenFull avoidStruts myLayoutCoding) $ avoidStruts myLayoutDefault , workspaces = ["main","web","coding","hacking","testing","6","7","8","9"] , modMask = mod4Mask , normalBorderColor = myNormalBorderColor , focusedBorderColor = myFocusedBorderColor }`additionalKeys` [ ((controlMask, xK_Print), spawn "sleep 0.2; scrot -s") , ((0, xK_Print), spawn "scrot") ]

P.S: it's happening pretty often to me that the cursor in gedit disappears. I mean, it is there, you can type and do everything but without seeing the bar. It makes things a bit harder.

You need to use brackets.
The function fullscreenFull (or avoidStruts) takes one argument. If you do

Code:
fullscreenFull avoidStruts myLayoutMain

You apply two arguments to the function fullscreenFull.

Instead you have to do:

Code:
fullscreenFull (avoidStruts myLayoutMain)

That means you pass one argument, which is the result of the operation (avoidStruts myLayoutMain)

I will probably switch to xmonad only (adding xmobar or dzen for some status bars). I don't really need Gnome. I don't really need the panels and there are too many little problems with Gnome which I never had with xmonad alone.

I'll later try with that code.

Could you mention some of the problems you're talking about (I've noticed a few too, though I can't recall now)?

However, with XMonad + Gnome I can use Nautilus.


RE: Xmonad configuration - Deque - 06-28-2013

You can use Nautilus without Gnome.

Problems: Some shortcuts don't work, like Q+Mod+Shift to log out.
The gnome panels don't show me the names of my workspaces and I don't know which workspace is still in use, so in order to close all programs I have to manually switch through all of them which is annoying.
The gnome panels take too much space. I already made them as small as possible and removed the bottom panel -- still.
I get pop up messages I don't want to get (like update notification).

And the most important thing: I just don't need Gnome.

I have managed to create a custom xsession with xmonad now. Will post more about this later.

I know Q+Mod+Shift is not working, I didn't notice it was because I was using it with Gnome, though. I usually use "sudo pkill -u noize" to log out from Terminal, but with Gnome I can do it by the top right corner's menu too.

Update notifications are actually very annoying, that's true.

Yeah, didn't notice this was caused by Gnome, basing on this, then, I think I'll leave that too.

Waiting to see about the xsession.

In this part I don't get what you're talking about.
