A layout which gives each window a specified amount of screen space relative to the others. Compared to the Mosaic layout, this one divides the space in a more balanced way.

You can use this module with the following in your ~/.xmonad/xmonad.hs:

import XMonad.Layout.MosaicAlt
import qualified Data.Map as M

Then edit your layoutHook by adding the MosaicAlt layout:

myLayout = MosaicAlt M.empty ||| Full ||| etc..
main = xmonad def { layoutHook = myLayout }

For more detailed instructions on editing the layoutHook see:
