XMonad.Layout.HintedTile

Contents

- Usage

Description

A gapless tiled layout that attempts to obey window size hints, rather than simply ignoring them.

Synopsis

- data HintedTile a = HintedTile {
  - nmaster :: !Int
  - delta :: !Rational
  - frac :: !Rational
  - alignment :: !Alignment
  - orientation :: !Orientation
  }
- data Orientation
  - = Wide
  - | Tall
- data Alignment
  - = TopLeft
  - | Center
  - | BottomRight

# Usage

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

     import XMonad.Layout.HintedTile

Then edit your `layoutHook` by adding the HintedTile layout:

     myLayout = hintedTile Tall ||| hintedTile Wide ||| Full ||| etc..
       where
          hintedTile = HintedTile nmaster delta ratio TopLeft
          nmaster    = 1
          ratio      = 1/2
          delta      = 3/100
     main = xmonad defaultConfig { layoutHook = myLayout }

Because both Xmonad and Xmonad.Layout.HintedTile define Tall, you need to disambiguate Tall. If you are replacing the built-in Tall with HintedTile, change `import Xmonad` to `import Xmonad hiding (Tall)`.

For more detailed instructions on editing the layoutHook see:
