[SOLVED] Xmobar won't display over app windows on Xmonad

https://bbs.archlinux.org – So it turns out, I had xmonad.hs as ~/.xmonad.hs not ~/.xmonad/xmonad.hs...  Pretty embarassing.  But I'll resist the temptation to delete the thread in hopes someone gets a chuckle out of it.  In my defence, I did figure it out all on my own. drvladimirtzu https://bbs.archlinux.org/profile.php?id=64168 2012-09-29T07:58:12Z (HowTos)

If you just want the default config, use this instead:import XMonad main = xmonad defaultConfig { modMask = mod4Mask } -- because alt as the modifier is the worst idea ever

First off: are you sure you need it? Secondly, what you found there in your link is an extension which should come with the xmonad-contrib package. You don't paste that into your xmonad.hs.This should give you an idea of what you need to do.You should probably read up on XMonad in general though, to figure out how to configure xmonad properly.

HiI am configuring my xmonad and I came across this link: http://www.haskell.org/wikiupload/6/63/And1_xmonad.pngI can't figure out how they got the slanted background for the different components (cpu, date, time etc.)Can anyone tell me how I can do this?

I don't have a great deal of space on my screen, so I thought I'd save some by using icons instead of names for my workspaces.

I don't have a great deal of space on my screen, so I thought I'd save some by using icons instead of names for my workspaces.

I think that this is as minimal as it can get if you ignore the modMask and terminal lines. I've been using xmonad since 2 months ago, so take it with a grain of salt. You need to install xmonad-contrib to get it working.

This is a modified xmonad.hs I got from the internet... it works, but the panel only gets shown after I open a program, and the gnome workspace switcher isn't aware of xmonad's workspaces.... ( What else am I missing from gnomeConfig, and how can I fix the issues ?

I'm using gnome+xmonad, and I'm trying to set the mod key to the windows key. I set my .xmonad.hs file to:

import XMonad import XMonad.Config.Gnome

main = xmonad gnomeConfig myModMask = mod4Mask

I tried to reload the file with alt+q, but no change seems to have occurred. Any suggestions? I'm far from a power user.
