| 2024-06-21 20:33:08 | <haskellbridge> | <lush> Is anyone here using xmonad on NixOS? |
| 2024-06-21 20:43:25 | <haskellbridge> | <iqubic (she/her)> I am. |
| 2024-06-21 20:43:33 | <haskellbridge> | <iqubic (she/her)> It's actually not too hard to set up at all. |
| 2024-06-21 20:45:50 | <haskellbridge> | <lush> iqubic (she/her): I managed to get the latest version of xmonad running, but recompiling xmonad with Mod-q doesn't work, even though I added "enableConfiguredRecompile = true;" to my config... any thoughts? |
| 2024-06-21 20:45:53 | <haskellbridge> | To be more precise: trying to recompile results in an error saying that it can't find xmonad.hs.... |
| 2024-06-21 20:46:14 | <haskellbridge> | <iqubic (she/her)> How are you configuring XMonad? |

| 2024-06-21 20:49:21 | <haskellbridge> | <iqubic (she/her)> I'm not sure. I don't actually use this feature myself. |
| 2024-06-21 20:49:42 | <haskellbridge> | <iqubic (she/her)> Maybe asking in Nix Haskell channel would be better. |
| 2024-06-21 20:52:06 | <haskellbridge> | <lush> So how do you manage xmonad in nixos then? |
| 2024-06-21 20:52:19 | <haskellbridge> | <lush> Do you just nixos-rebuild everytime you change your xmonad.hs? |
| 2024-06-21 20:52:37 | <haskellbridge> | <iqubic (she/her)> I do. |
| 2024-06-21 20:53:41 | <haskellbridge> | <lush> I see, thanks. I guess if you already have a neatly configured xmonad setup that's fine. |
| 2024-06-21 20:53:41 | <haskellbridge> | But I just start editing a new one and it's quite painful to do this all the time I think... |

| 2024-06-21 21:11:01 | <Leary> | lush: Forget about the xmonad.config option; that's only for NixOS. You need to put xmonad.hs where /xmonad/ expects to find it. |
| 2024-06-21 21:13:54 | <haskellbridge> | <iqubic (she/her)> Leary, all that option does is install GHC for you and sets up xmonad to run with the XMONAD_GHC environment variable set properly. It doesn't actually put the config any for xmonad to be able to find it. |

| 2024-06-22 02:43:58 | <haskellbridge> | <iqubic (she/her)> I'm trying to see if that set all the right atoms for me to just be able to use polybar's xwindow and xworkspaces modules out of the box. |
| 2024-06-22 02:44:16 | <haskellbridge> | <iqubic (she/her)> xwindow says: "NOTE: Requires a WM that supports the EWMH atom _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW." |
| 2024-06-22 02:45:24 | <haskellbridge> | <iqubic (she/her)> Wait... I think I can just use "xprop -root _NET_SUPPORTED" |

| 2024-06-22 02:52:13 | <haskellbridge> | <柱間 (@hashirama:hashi.sbs)> if you meant that, i already do this with polybar and xmonad |
| 2024-06-22 02:52:30 | <geekosaur> | yeh, _NET_SUPPORTED is the easiest place to find them |

| 2024-06-22 02:53:22 | <geekosaur> | you can get them from the source but I think they're scatted all over plus with extensible EWMH some may be defined in other modules |
| 2024-06-22 02:53:28 | <haskellbridge> | <iqubic (she/her)> I'm also wondering if you have a good way to get polybar to show the layout. |
| 2024-06-22 02:53:32 | <geekosaur> | and registered with EWMH |
| 2024-06-22 02:54:26 | <geekosaur> | I think the only way to get the layout is to send it one way or another, since EWMH doesn't have the concept |
| 2024-06-22 02:54:46 | <geekosaur> | you could use dbus, or write it to a file and use a polybar module to read the file when it changes |
| 2024-06-22 02:55:03 | <haskellbridge> | <iqubic (she/her)> Cool... I'll stick to using the dbus and a PP. |

| 2024-06-22 02:56:14 | <haskellbridge> | <iqubic (she/her)> Looks like this has a neat little guide on how to set up xmonad and polybar to play nicely. |
| 2024-06-22 02:56:46 | <haskellbridge> | <iqubic (she/her)> And that Go package for reading from dbus is in the Nix repos so I can just get it there. |
| 2024-06-22 02:57:13 | <haskellbridge> | <iqubic (she/her)> geekosaur: I know you do a similar thing in your config. |
| 2024-06-22 02:58:00 | <geekosaur> | yes, but with a dbus receiver that's a panel applet that can be built for gnome 2, mate, or xfce |
| 2024-06-22 02:59:26 | <geekosaur> | (I think Nix has derivations for all three variants) |
| 2024-06-22 03:01:08 | <haskellbridge> | <iqubic (she/her)> It does. But I'm planning on using polybar and not some DE like that, so I'm gonna use the small Go program and tell polybar to run that to get info. I'll have to wrap the data I send to have proper formatting and stuff, but that's more a polybar issue than an xmonad one. |
| 2024-06-22 03:01:09 | <geekosaur> | xmonad-log-applet-{gnome,mate,xfce} |
| 2024-06-22 03:01:59 | <geekosaur> | yeh, xmonad-log-applet speaks Pango markup, I have some utility functions for it in my config |
| 2024-06-22 03:03:53 | <haskellbridge> | <iqubic (she/her)> Yeah... polybar has its own special text formatting stuff. https://github.com/polybar/polybar/wiki/Formatting#format-tags |
| 2024-06-22 03:07:38 | <haskellbridge> | <柱間 (@hashirama:hashi.sbs)> iqubic (she/her): quite easy to do |

| 2024-06-22 03:08:59 | <haskellbridge> | <iqubic (she/her)> But does that show your current XMonad layout? |
| 2024-06-22 03:09:16 | <haskellbridge> | <柱間 (@hashirama:hashi.sbs)> you mean the name of the layout? |
| 2024-06-22 03:09:32 | <haskellbridge> | <柱間 (@hashirama:hashi.sbs)> i think that would be very hard to do |
| 2024-06-22 03:09:43 | <haskellbridge> | <iqubic (she/her)> Yeah... It's fine. |
| 2024-06-22 03:10:49 | <geekosaur> | you can't get it from EWMH, as I said earlier, but with a custom PP it's easy |
| 2024-06-22 03:11:00 | <geekosaur> | in fact most of the standard PPs include it |
| 2024-06-22 03:11:07 | <geekosaur> | as does my custom one |

| 2024-06-22 07:41:33 | <haskellbridge> | <iqubic (she/her)> Is there a hook that runs every time I change layout, that I can use to write the new layout to a file or otherwise do something with the new layout name? |
| 2024-06-22 07:48:06 | <Leary> | iqubic: Sounds like a job for the `logHook`. You'll have to track the `description` of the current layout/s yourself, though. A bit of extensible state will do it. |
| 2024-06-22 07:49:46 | <haskellbridge> | <iqubic (she/her)> Oh, yeah, that might work really well. |
| 2024-06-22 07:50:03 | <haskellbridge> | <iqubic (she/her)> Why would I need to track the descriptions myself? |
| 2024-06-22 08:02:23 | <Leary> | `logHook` runs every refresh; it's not layoutDescriptionChangedHook, so you need to be the one to decide whether or not it's changed. If you really wanted that hook you'd need to put a modifier over the Choose layout to watch for relevant messages, which is another approach. |
| 2024-06-22 08:03:18 | <haskellbridge> | <iqubic (she/her)> I see. That makes sense actually... |
| 2024-06-22 08:11:26 | <haskellbridge> | <iqubic (she/her)> Is there a guide to using ExtensibleState stuff? |
| 2024-06-22 08:37:46 | <Leary> | iqubic: https://hackage.haskell.org/package/xmonad-contrib-0.18.0/docs/XMonad-Util-ExtensibleState.html |
| 2024-06-22 09:18:28 | <haskellbridge> | <iqubic (she/her)> What's the difference between "StateExtension" and "PersistentExtension"? |
| 2024-06-22 09:25:57 | <liskin> | iqubic: one survives restart and the other doesn't |
| 2024-06-22 09:26:36 | <liskin> | the one that doesn't is useful for caching stuff (e.g. ManageDocks uses it) |
| 2024-06-22 09:26:45 | <liskin> | EwmhDesktops possibly as well |
| 2024-06-22 09:27:13 | <haskellbridge> | <iqubic (she/her)> Is the WindowSet part of the state, and it is Persistant? |
| 2024-06-22 09:27:50 | <liskin> | WindowSet isn't stored using ExtensibleState, but it is preserved across restarts |
| 2024-06-22 09:27:57 | <liskin> | otherwise you'd lose your layouts on reload |
| 2024-06-22 09:28:55 | <liskin> | (train about to reach its destination, afk soon) |
| 2024-06-22 09:29:56 | <haskellbridge> | <iqubic (she/her)> Makes sense. I'll think about this more myself. |
