XMonad.Layout.DecorationEx

Description

This set of modules contains a set of type classes and their implementations which define a flexible and extensible mechanism of window decorations.

Click here for a larger version.

Within this mechanism, there are the following entities which define how decorations will look and work:

  • Main object is DecorationEx layout modifier. It is from where everything starts. It creates, shows and hides decoration windows (rectangles) when needed. It is parameterized with decoration geometry, decoration engine and theme. It calls these components to do their parts of the work.
  • DecorationGeometry defines where decoration rectangles should be placed. For example, standard horizontal bar above each window; or tab bar.
  • DecorationEngine defines how decorations look and how they react on clicks. Different implementations of the decoration engine can use different APIs to draw decorations. Within this package, there is one implementation (TextDecoration), which uses plain Xlib calls, and displays decoration widgets with text fragments, like [X] or [_]. Other engines can, for example, use the Cairo library to draw nice gradients and image-based widgets.
  • A Decoration widget is an element placed on a window decoration. It defines how it looks and how it responds to clicks. Examples include usual window buttons (minimize, maximize, close), window icon, window title.
  • A Decoration theme defines colors and fonts for the decoration engine. It also contains a list of decoration widgets and says where to place them (at the left, at the right or in the center).

This mechanism makes major use of parameterized data types and type families, in order to make it possible to define different types of decorations, and easily combine different aspects of decorations. For example, each decoration engine can be combined with each decoration geometry.

Synopsis

Usage:

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

import XMonad.Layout.DecorationEx

Then edit your layoutHook by adding the DwmStyle decoration to your layout:

myTheme = ThemeEx {...}
myL = textDecoration shrinkText myTheme (layoutHook def)
main = xmonad def { layoutHook = myL }

For more detailed instructions on editing the layoutHook see:

XMonad.Doc.Extending

This module exports only some definitions from it's submodules, most likely to be used from user configurations. To define your own decoration types you will likely have to import specific submodules.

Standard decoration settings

decorationEx Source #

Arguments

:: (DecorationEngine engine widget a, DecorationGeometry geom a, Shrinker shrinker) 
=> shrinker

Strings shrinker, for example shrinkText

-> Theme engine widget

Decoration theme

-> engine widget a

Decoration engine instance

-> geom a

Decoration geometry instance

-> l a

Underlying layout to be decorated

-> ModifiedLayout (DecorationEx engine widget geom shrinker) l a 

Apply a DecorationEx modifier to an underlying layout

textDecoration Source #

Arguments

:: Shrinker shrinker 
=> shrinker

String shrinker, for example shrinkText

-> Theme TextDecoration StandardWidget

Decoration theme (font, colors, widgets, etc)

-> l Window

Layout to be decorated

-> ModifiedLayout (DecorationEx TextDecoration StandardWidget DefaultGeometry shrinker) l Window 

Add decoration to existing layout. Widgets are indicated by text fragments, like "[+]". Geometry is simple: a horizontal panel at the top of each window, going for the full width of the window.

textTabbed Source #

Arguments

:: Shrinker shrinker 
=> shrinker

Strings shrinker, e.g. shrinkText

-> ThemeEx StandardWidget

Decoration theme

-> l Window

Layout to be decorated

-> ModifiedLayout (DecorationEx TextDecoration StandardWidget TabbedGeometry shrinker) l Window 

Add tabbed decorations (with default settings) with text-based widgets to a layout.

dwmStyleDeco Source #

Arguments

:: Shrinker shrinker 
=> shrinker

Strings shrinker, for example shrinkText

-> ThemeEx StandardWidget

Decoration theme (font, colors, widgets, etc)

-> l Window

Layout to be decorated

-> ModifiedLayout (DecorationEx TextDecoration StandardWidget DwmGeometry shrinker) l Window 

Add a decoration to window layout. Widgets are indicated with text fragments using TextDecoration; decoration placement is similar to DWM.

data DecorationEx engine widget geom shrinker a Source #

Instances

Instances details
(DecorationEngine engine widget Window, DecorationGeometry geom Window, Shrinker shrinker) => LayoutModifier (DecorationEx engine widget geom shrinker) Window Source #

The long LayoutModifier instance for the DecorationEx type.

In redoLayout we check the state: if there is no state we initialize it.

The state is diffed against the list of windows produced by the underlying layout: removed windows get deleted and new ones decorated by createDecos, which will call decorate to decide if a window must be given a Rectangle, in which case a decoration window will be created.

After that we resync the updated state with the windows' list and then we process the resynced stated (as we do with a new state).

First we map the decoration windows, we update each decoration to reflect any decorated window's change, and we insert, in the list of windows and rectangles returned by the underlying layout, the decoration for each window. This way xmonad will restack the decorations and their windows accordingly. At the end we remove invisible/stacked windows.

Message handling is quite simple: when needed we release the state component of the DecorationEx LayoutModifier. Otherwise we call handleEvent, which will call the appropriate DecorationEngine methods to perform its tasks.
