2022-02-24 00:56:58 +0100 <M-elo-[m]> What would be the appropriate way to get color & font from .Xresources and add them to your xmonad setup instead of defining colors manually and rebuild?
2022-02-24 00:56:58 +0100 <M-elo-[m]> Came across the following implementation but was wondering if there is a better approach to the problem: https://edwardwibowo.com/blog/switching-themes-on-the-fly-with-xmonad
2022-02-24 01:02:24 +0100 <geekosaur> o.O I'd use the Xrm library, since that's what it's there fore

2022-02-24 05:44:04 +0100 <galactic_starfis> I didn't use .Xresources, but I have a similar thing, if you're interested.
2022-02-24 05:44:34 +0100 <galactic_starfis> It just pulls from specific files, and if one doesn't exist, it pulls from the next, etc, etc, with a fallback of some default colors.
2022-02-24 05:45:12 +0100 <galactic_starfis> I'm curious if it could ever be built in a way so that you could achieve color switching without having to restart XMonad.
2022-02-24 05:45:25 +0100 <galactic_starfis> Given the types surrounding it all though... Unlikely...

2022-02-24 08:21:00 +0100 <Solid> galactic_starfis: introduce an IORef for the colour and just switch it based on that?
2022-02-24 08:21:11 +0100 <Solid> would certainly work if you had different prompts with all the available colours
2022-02-24 08:21:49 +0100 <Solid> but that "let's call xrdb and then unsafePerformIO it" is truly scary

2022-02-24 16:31:12 +0100 <geekosaur> I don't see much wrong with using Xrm to configure colors before starting xmonad, and restarting when the RESOURCE_MANAGER prop changes

2022-02-24 17:32:28 +0100 <sebas> hi, Is this a good place to ask questions or should I do it on reddit?
2022-02-24 17:33:46 +0100 <geekosaur> this is a fine place to ask questions
2022-02-24 17:34:21 +0100 <sebas> thanks
2022-02-24 17:37:40 +0100 <sebas> I tried changing the resolution with spawn "xrandr --output HDMI-0 --mode 1600x900" inside the startUpHook
2022-02-24 17:39:16 +0100 <sebas> when I enter xmonad it works fine, but when I quit it and reenter the screen is shown in the bottom-left corner of the monitor
2022-02-24 17:40:04 +0100 <geekosaur> I think you want to do that before going into the xmonad combinator, otherwise you need the new XRandR hook for it to work? https://hackage.haskell.org/package/xmonad-contrib-0.17.0/docs/XMonad-Hooks-Rescreen.html
2022-02-24 17:41:50 +0100 <sebas> I belive I can't use xmonad 0.17 still. I'm a Manjaro user, let me check
2022-02-24 17:42:10 +0100 <geekosaur> you'll probably need to install via stack, cabal, or use git
2022-02-24 17:42:42 +0100 <geekosaur> practically every distro goes by stackage, which has been "stuck" for the past several months
2022-02-24 17:43:39 +0100 <Solid> new major stack resolver don't come out _that_ often anyways
2022-02-24 17:44:20 +0100 <Solid> so we're not even in "that's unusually long" territory so far
2022-02-24 17:44:32 +0100 <Solid> but I also don't know how far along aeson 2.0 is
2022-02-24 17:45:08 +0100 <geekosaur> and we'restill waiting for them to land text 2.0, I think
2022-02-24 17:45:33 +0100 <sebas> I did it install it from the stack once, but the option to change from kde to xmonad didn't appear in the display manager, so  I unistalled it. May I install it from the stack and ask again here how to make it appear in the login screen?
2022-02-24 17:45:59 +0100 <Solid> is the new text such a big breaking change? i thought it was mostly internals associated with the UTF8 switch
2022-02-24 17:46:10 +0100 <Solid> sebas: sure, sounds like an idea
2022-02-24 17:46:21 +0100 <sebas> :)
2022-02-24 17:46:23 +0100 <Solid> (the issue was most likely that your display manager couldn't find xmonad in $PATH)
2022-02-24 17:46:38 +0100 <geekosaur> depends on the display manager, a lot of them want those desktop files

2022-02-24 17:48:22 +0100 <liskin> Um, why do we think the new Rescreen is necessary?
2022-02-24 17:48:32 +0100 <liskin> What does quit and reenter mean, anyway?
2022-02-24 17:49:12 +0100 <Solid> my guess would be quit to the display manager
2022-02-24 17:49:17 +0100 <Solid> but i didn't follow that part very well
2022-02-24 17:49:38 +0100 <geekosaur> was starting to doubt that one after I loaded the docs, although I don't know offhand if that xrandr invocation sends a ConfigureEvent or just an RRChangeNotify
2022-02-24 17:49:55 +0100 <geekosaur> and yes, "quit and restart" is open to interpretation

2022-02-24 17:55:09 +0100 <galactic_starfis> I already sort of have it for all of that, just on restart

2022-02-24 18:01:29 +0100 <Solid> yeah borders would probably need a fork of the core (just smash an IORef in there :)

2022-02-24 18:01:51 +0100 <Solid> but the real solution is, of course, to set the borderWidth to 0!
