2021-12-29 00:52:15 +0100 | <altker128> | Hey guys |
2021-12-29 00:52:27 +0100 | <geekosaur> | hi |
2021-12-29 00:57:42 +0100 | <altker128> | I'm curious if anyone is using xmonad with something like MATE or potentially KDE . I'm thinking about xmonad because if I understand, it supports different workspaces per monitor |
2021-12-29 00:58:22 +0100 | <altker128> | I'm fine with the way MATE handles notifications, device insertion and the icons on the desktop but if I understood correctly, some of that wouldn't work if one used a different window manager ? |
2021-12-29 00:58:29 +0100 | <altker128> | i.e. icons on the desktop? |
2021-12-29 00:58:56 +0100 | <geekosaur> | I use it with MATE https://github.com/geekosaur/xmonad.hs/tree/skkukuk |
2021-12-29 00:59:26 +0100 | <geekosaur> | the desktop icons and device insertion etc. are handled by the file manager (caja), not the window manager (marco) which is replaced by xmonad |
2021-12-29 01:00:07 +0100 | <altker128> | geekosaur: I read in an older thread caja must be stopped and interfers with xmonad -- is this still true? |
2021-12-29 01:00:27 +0100 | <geekosaur> | notification daemon works fine too, with some odd peculiarities because each screen shows a different workspace so they jump around a bit depending on the focused screen |
2021-12-29 01:00:36 +0100 | <geekosaur> | I've never seen a problem with it |
2021-12-29 01:01:11 +0100 | <altker128> | geekosaur: Thanks for sharing your github link -- are you using that in conjunction with a recentish version of MATE? Which distro do you use, if you don't mind me asking? |
2021-12-29 01:01:29 +0100 | <altker128> | Last question, if caja is still in the picture, can you get different wallpapers per virtual desktop / workspace ? |
2021-12-29 01:01:57 +0100 | <geekosaur> | I'm on ubuntu 20.04 currently. used to be on Mint until the latest version's installer kept crashing on me while I was trying to set up this laptop |
2021-12-29 01:03:20 +0100 | <geekosaur> | you can't, caja backgrounds aren't quite smart enough to deal with separate workspaces per monitor |
2021-12-29 01:03:42 +0100 | <geekosaur> | so it only supports setting one background which displays on all screens |
2021-12-29 01:03:46 +0100 | <altker128> | sigh :( |
2021-12-29 01:04:36 +0100 | <altker128> | If I understood correctly, Caja basically treats a dual-monitor desktop as one big giant one, so I know you could combine two wallpapers so you get different ones per monitor |
2021-12-29 01:04:51 +0100 | <altker128> | Is it possible to script caja to change the wallpaper on a virtual desktop swap? |
2021-12-29 01:05:15 +0100 | <geekosaur> | I don't know |
2021-12-29 01:05:37 +0100 | <altker128> | overall, what's your experience been like with xmonand + MATE ? |
2021-12-29 01:09:01 +0100 | <geekosaur> | it works fairly well, aside from the little dconf dance needed to make it use xmonad instead of marco and needing to unbind mod4 from the menu applet to use it in xmonad |
2021-12-29 01:09:14 +0100 | <geekosaur> | (see https://wiki.haskell.org/Xmonad/Using_xmonad_in_MATE for both of those) |
2021-12-29 01:09:19 +0100 | <altker128> | Do you get the MATE global menu, etc? |
2021-12-29 01:10:02 +0100 | <geekosaur> | yes, everything works as expected |
