Xmonad/Config archive/Don's xmonad.hs

Configuration files get much simpler in xmonad 0.5, as you just override those values you need to.

This is the ~/.xmonad/xmonad.hs file.

import XMonad
import qualified Data.Map as M
import XMonad.Hooks.DynamicLog
import XMonad.Layout.NoBorders

main = dzen $ \x -> xmonad $ x
        { terminal           = "term"
        , normalBorderColor  = "#333333"
        , focusedBorderColor = "red"
        , layoutHook         = smartBorders (layoutHook x)
        , manageHook         =
                manageHook x <+>
                    (className =? "Toplevel" --> doFloat)
        }

Launches dzen on startup, with some good defaults.

My .xinitrc:

# .xinitrc

xrandr -s 0

xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
xsetroot -cursor_name left_ptr
xsetroot -solid '#80a0af'

xset b 100 0 0
xset r rate 140 200

xmodmap -e "keycode 233 = Page_Down"
xmodmap -e "keycode 234 = Page_Up"
xmodmap -e "remove Lock = Caps_Lock"
xmodmap -e "keysym Caps_Lock = Control_L"
xmodmap -e "add Control = Control_L"
