| 2023-07-04 21:20:26 | <BakaOtaku[m]> | hello guys. I want to use `XMonad.Hooks.BorderPerWindow` to set borders just for my terminal. I've set border=0. And as per the docs I've added this to my managehook `title =? "st" --> defineBorderWidth 45` |
| 2023-07-04 21:20:26 | <BakaOtaku[m]> | This works! but whenever I open a app inside terminal say like neovim it changes the window title but still the border doesn't go away. |
| 2023-07-04 21:20:26 | <BakaOtaku[m]> | so basically I want dynamic per window borders. |
| 2023-07-04 21:20:26 | <BakaOtaku[m]> | Help will be appreciated thanks! |

| 2023-07-04 21:32:39 | <geekosaur> | manageHook can't be used for dynamic stuff; you want XMonad.Hooks.DyanmicProperty |

| 2023-07-04 21:51:44 | <BakaOtaku[m]> | ok so I removed everything from the manageHook and added this: `dynamicPropertyChange "WM_NAME" (title =? "st" --> defineBorderWidth 45)` to eventHook but it still doesn't work and now I don't even get the initial borders that showed up with just managehook. |
| 2023-07-04 21:56:34 | <[Leary]> | That says to set border width to 45 for windows newly changing their title to "st". It doesn't say what to do with windows that change their title to anything else, nor what to do with windows created with the title "st". |
| 2023-07-04 21:58:26 | <[Leary]> | You can keep using the manage hook as it was, but probably want something like `title >>= \t -> defineBorderWidth (if t == "st" then 45 else 1)` in the title-change hook. |
| 2023-07-04 22:05:11 | <BakaOtaku[m]> | Thanks! That seems to work. it's kinda slowish but nothing too much to worry about |
| 2023-07-04 22:07:00 | <geekosaur> | there's a speedup to the dynamicPropertyChange stuff in git iirc |
| 2023-07-04 22:07:24 | <geekosaur> | in released versions it triggers too often |
| 2023-07-04 22:12:45 | <[Leary]> | Part of the issue could also be that `defineBorderWidth` delays action to the log hook, where it also requests a refresh that I'm not sure is necessary. The indirection is currently unavoidable in the manage hook, but could be erased from the title-change hook. |

| 2023-07-04 22:36:08 | <BakaOtaku[m]> | @[Leary]:libera.chat: I'm having a small problem. I use `XMonad.Hooks.WindowSwallowing` with my terminal and idk why but whenever I restore the terminal after it's swallowed the border resize doesn't work. |
| 2023-07-04 22:36:08 | <BakaOtaku[m]> | You can see this in the screen recording I've attached thanks |

| 2023-07-04 23:13:37 | <geekosaur> | restoring the window counts neither as a property change nor as a _new_ mapping of the window, so nothing happens to trigger the border resize |
| 2023-07-04 23:19:37 | <[Leary]> | This is another consequence of `setInitialProperties` being in the wrong place. The parent window would just keep its proper border size, but `windows` thinks it's new and resets the properties to defaults. |
| 2023-07-04 23:36:38 | <BakaOtaku[m]> | so would there be a workaround for this?🤔 |
| 2023-07-04 23:50:59 | <BakaOtaku[m]> | <geekosaur> "restoring the window counts..." <- Yes but the title of the window never changes the window just gets withdrawn/swallowed so the border should remain the same no? |
| 2023-07-04 23:52:19 | <[Leary]> | You could declare `windowCloseHook :: ManageHook -> Event -> X All; windowCloseHook mh DestroyWindowEvent{ ev_event = w0, ev_window = w } | w0 == w = runQuery mh w $> mempty; windowCloseHook _ _ = mempty`, then in your event hook do `(dynamicTitle <> windowCloseHook) (title >>= \t -> ...)`. |
| 2023-07-04 23:52:37 | <geekosaur> | that depends on your swallowEventHook; if you look for a title change… |

| 2023-07-05 00:06:24 | <geekosaur> | (the problem with which is the title may change back while the window is still unmapped, hence won't trigger the event hook) |

| 2023-07-05 00:11:11 | <BakaOtaku[m]> | sorry if these are easy errors. I have very little experience with haskell. I've hacked together a xmonad config which works nicely for me and I mainly learn all my haskell through this project :) |
| 2023-07-05 00:12:27 | <[Leary]> | Mostly errors in copying. You're using `<$>` where I have `$>`, and you haven't bracketed `(dynamicTitle <> windowCloseHook)`. |
| 2023-07-05 00:18:30 | <[Leary]> | Mmmm. Technically this hook should take a `Query ()` rather than a `ManageHook`, but whatever, it should work as written. |
| 2023-07-05 00:19:08 | <BakaOtaku[m]> | My bad!

| 2023-07-05 00:23:26 | <[Leary]> | You might need to swap the order with the swallowing hook. |
| 2023-07-05 00:27:31 | <BakaOtaku[m]> | what do you mean? just move the swallowEventHook above the dynamictitle?... (full message at <https://libera.ems.host/_matrix/media/v3/download/libera.chat/185faa6c4e4294cb3540108e57ac94ad4c829fae>) |
| 2023-07-05 00:28:05 | <absta[m]> | Does anyone have a clue about my question/problem above? |
| 2023-07-05 00:29:13 | <geekosaur> | I saw your question but I have no idea why it'd be a problem |
| 2023-07-05 00:29:35 | <geekosaur> | I run xmonad with mate and everything works as expected |

| 2023-07-05 00:30:30 | <absta[m]> | I applied doCenterFloat on the dialogs, but nautilus dialogs do not go afloat. |
| 2023-07-05 00:31:01 | <absta[m]> | They stay tiled, even though they have .._DIALOG type. |
| 2023-07-05 00:31:41 | <[Leary]> | BakaOtaku[m]: Okay, I'm not sure what's going wrong then; I'd have to take a closer look at what's actually happening. |
| 2023-07-05 00:31:44 | <absta[m]> | Also I manually apply Ce terFloat on Gnome Calculator as well, and that one also stays tiled. |
| 2023-07-05 00:32:02 | <geekosaur> | caja dialogs float with `isDialog --> doFloatPlace` (which uses XMonad.Hooks.Place rather than `doCenterFloat`, but that shouldn't matter) |
| 2023-07-05 00:32:13 | <geekosaur> | can you pastebin your config? |

| 2023-07-05 00:33:47 | <BakaOtaku[m]> | [Leary]: haha no problem! |
| 2023-07-05 00:33:47 | <BakaOtaku[m]> | since my config is dividied up and you want to see the full config then I can maybe push a test_branch to my git repo for you to check? |

| 2023-07-05 00:37:14 | <absta[m]> | (What does Mate use for file browser? nemo?) |
| 2023-07-05 00:38:29 | <geekosaur> | caja, which is more or less nautilus with the serial numbers filed off |
| 2023-07-05 00:38:56 | <geekosaur> | similarly for mate-calculator vs. gnome-calculator |
| 2023-07-05 00:39:05 | <geekosaur> | (mate is a maintained fork of gnome 2) |
| 2023-07-05 00:40:13 | <absta[m]> | Hmm, I mean lower versions of nautilus worked as expected |
| 2023-07-05 00:41:37 | <geekosaur> | did you verify they come up with all the properties in place when the window is mapped? gnome is so wayland-happy that I would not be surprised if they simply broke x11 completely, especially given that wayland doesn't use any of these things |
| 2023-07-05 00:42:08 | <geekosaur> | (which is a big reason we're not trying to target wayland yet: the things people want won't work) |
| 2023-07-05 00:43:44 | <[Leary]> | BakaOtaku[m]: I was mostly thinking about the code paths in xmonad and the relevant contrib modules, but the details of your config may also become relevant; go ahead and link it. |
| 2023-07-05 00:43:54 | <geekosaur> | XMonad.Hooks.ManageDebug can be used to examine window state when a window opens: https://github.com/geekosaur/xmonad.hs/blob/skkukuk/xmonad.hs#L55 |
| 2023-07-05 00:44:10 | <geekosaur> | absta[m] ^ |
| 2023-07-05 00:44:43 | <geekosaur> | I should really identify people more, especially with two discussions at once and irc doesn't do threads |
| 2023-07-05 00:44:52 | <BakaOtaku[m]> | [Leary]: here! https://github.com/Tanish2002/xmonad-tanish2002/blob/dynamic-border/src/Hooks/EventHook.hs |
| 2023-07-05 00:46:17 | <geekosaur> | absta[m], X11 and EWMH mandate that certain properties be set before the window is mapped. wayland doesn't use most of the relevant window properties… |
| 2023-07-05 01:07:25 | <absta[m]> | Let me debug it then when I am back at my computer |
| 2023-07-05 01:08:06 | <absta[m]> | I also suspect they might be settingnall the properties too late |
