XMonad

xmonad configuration examples

Configuration files (Config.hs for xmonad < 0.5, xmonad.hs for xmonad >= 0.5)

Many config files marked as 0.5 probably work in 0.6 as well; give it a try and ask on the #xmonad IRC channel on freenode.org if you have problems.

For more screenshots see the Xmonad/Screenshots archive.

/Template xmonad.hs (0.7)

/David Roundy's xmonad.hs (0.5)

Combo config for small screen + xclock. Requires the xmonad-library branch, so not for the faint of heart. This config also keeps mod=mod1, and therefore moves a number of key bindings to non-standard locations (my laptop has no spare modifier keys).

modMask = mod4Mask; DynamicLog, RotView, ViewPrev, WindowNavigation, ToggleLayouts (toggle full screen mode), UrgencyHook + dzen, FlexibleManipulate, a bunch of Prompts, Submap, Search, and a few others, with keybindings for all! (Warning: lots of non-standard keybindings. =)

The other config is an older config that uses the standard vi-like bindings, but translated by location to a dvorak layout.

/enko's xmonad.hs (0.8)

I'm using xmobar and mostly tall layout (but in realy it is just fullscreenlayout since there arent any other windows). The config is acumulated stuff and could be cleaned of cruft, but since I dont know atm what is cruft and what not, it is not an option, but it works for me™. I'm using urxvt as a terminal and the mailer you can see there is wanderlust for emacs. You can also see my screen setup at the bottom.

Note on uploading

To upload your config file, create some text on this page of the form:

  ; [[/you Config.hs]]
  : description of your setup

and save the page. This will create a new page under /you into which you can paste your Config.hs text. Wrap them in <haskell> and </haskell> tags, to enable nice markup; add a nice category like [[Category:XMonad configuration]], and upload. If you have an xmonad.hs for xmonad 0.5, upload that to

  ; [[/you xmonad.hs]]

Images can be uploaded by clicking on the 'Upload file' link, and then referring to the uploaded image as, e.g.

   [[Image:you-config.png|center|200px]]

which will scale the image correctly for a thumbnail.
