2023-03-30 09:25:25 +0000 <tridactyl> hello, is there a developer online? i was wondering why xmonad uses xlib instead of xcb
2023-03-30 09:25:39 +0000liskin[m](~liskinmat@2001:470:69fc:105::768)
2023-03-30 09:26:08 +0000 <tridactyl> was it easier to use xlib for the creation of xmonad or some other reason?
2023-03-30 09:29:01 +0000 <liskin> tridactyl: I guess there may not have been Haskell xcb bindings back in 2007, but X11 bindings were shipped with compiler
2023-03-30 09:29:48 +0000 <liskin> X11 haskell lib was split into a separate project at some point, that may have actually happened before 2007, but there probably still was an "official" vibe to it :-)
2023-03-30 09:31:32 +0000 <liskin> oh, git history looks like the split happened because xmonad devs needed to make a lot of changes to it
2023-03-30 09:38:03 +0000 <tridactyl> really, I hadn't thought of that
2023-03-30 09:39:20 +0000 <tridactyl> but can you tell me if the developers have done any kind of comparative test? i see in many places on the internet that xcb is faster than Xlib
2023-03-30 09:45:44 +0000 <liskin> I wouldn't know :-(
2023-03-30 09:45:49 +0000 <liskin> geekosaur is the historian here :-)
2023-03-30 09:46:02 +0000 <Solid> I doubt that this really matters; your window manager is not doing any kind of computationally intensive task
2023-03-30 09:48:23 +0000 <tridactyl> liskin no problem, thanks for answering
2023-03-30 09:52:11 +0000chomwitt(~chomwitt@2a02:587:7a0f:e00:1ac0:4dff:fedb:a3f1) (Ping timeout: 248 seconds)
2023-03-30 09:52:14 +0000 <tridactyl> Solid I'm not complaining, I just really wanted to know if there was a bigger reason or just historical reasons
2023-03-30 09:53:03 +0000 <Solid> historical artifacts, in that case :) and XMonad's wrapper around Xlib is way too thin for us to switch to xcb, really
2023-03-30 09:55:02 +0000 <tridactyl> that's right
2023-03-30 09:55:27 +0000 <tridactyl> thanks for explaining
2023-03-30 09:56:34 +0000 <tridactyl> well, I'm still learning how to use IRC
2023-03-30 09:56:43 +0000 <tridactyl> I don't know if I managed to mention you in my message, but I think it was worth a try
2023-03-30 09:58:25 +0000 <tridactyl> in addition, I am trying to converse more in English
2023-03-30 09:58:33 +0000 <tridactyl> so I'm sorry if there was some mistake in my messages, I'm trying to be less dependent on translation services
2023-03-30 09:59:12 +0000 <tridactyl> :-)

2023-03-30 11:23:56 +0000 <geekosaur> I see they left, but the best answer you'll get is that sjanssen chose X11 probably because dwm was using it at the time
2023-03-30 11:24:39 +0000 <geekosaur> there was an early ticket about considering a move to xcb but even by that point it would have broken pretty much everything so it was dropped
2023-03-30 11:29:13 +0000 <geekosaur> as to performance, by the time you'd notice the difference you'll have long since been bitten by the linked lists in the StackSet

2023-03-30 14:39:51 +0000 <geekosaur> hm, I was hoping there was a #haskell-de to go with the other l10n channels but it appears not 😞
2023-03-30 14:40:39 +0000 <geekosaur> (actually that surprises me)
2023-03-30 14:47:11 +0000 <geekosaur> mm, looks like matrix has #haskell.de:matrix.org, use https://element.io/download since they insist on being a web app instead of simple web page
2023-03-30 14:48:51 +0000 <geekosaur> (or install Nheko via flatpak, but you probably don't want that for some quick questions)

2023-03-30 17:26:58 +0000 <Zetaeta> Hi, I'm having trouble making a window sticky (want it to float, appear regardless of workspace and be movable with the appropriate commands). XMonad.Actions.CopyWindow.copyToAll isn't working properly on my multi-monitor setup, it always moves the window to the non-active screen.
2023-03-30 17:27:21 +0000 <Zetaeta> I've tried some other approaches to get some version of a sticky window posted here https://www.reddit.com/r/xmonad/comments/125qrv9/can_i_make_a_command_to_ignore_a_window/
2023-03-30 17:27:37 +0000 <Zetaeta> But nothing worked fully
2023-03-30 17:28:39 +0000 <Zetaeta> If anyone has any insight or alternative suggestions I'd be grateful
2023-03-30 17:34:48 +0000 <geekosaur> yeh, copyToAll can't (not just doesn't, sadly) work right with multiple monitors. I don't think we can really handle this right, the closest you can get is doIgnore but that means you can't interact with or operate on it
2023-03-30 17:42:18 +0000 <[Leary]> Shouldn't it work at least to the extent of keeping the window on the current screen? Why's it on the non-active screen? Weird.
2023-03-30 17:42:44 +0000 <Zetaeta> Is it possible to doIgnore in a command instead of a manageHook? I tried to copy its logic with ignore w = reveal w >> windows (W.delete w) >> reveal w >> withDisplay (\dpy -> io (raiseWindow dpy w)), and it works initially but degrades over time and gets messed up by fullscreen apps.
2023-03-30 17:44:52 +0000 <geekosaur> it's not enough to do that; most windows you `doIgnore` are self-managing and in particular keep themselves on top
2023-03-30 17:47:12 +0000 <geekosaur> [Leary], because the active screen is refreshed first, and both workspaces attempt to place the window but the last one wins
2023-03-30 17:50:18 +0000 <[Leary]> Hah! `windows` uses `summed_visible` to exclude already-rendered windows from the tiles, but not from the floats.
2023-03-30 17:50:36 +0000 <[Leary]> Looks pretty fixable.
2023-03-30 17:58:35 +0000 <Zetaeta> I see, thanks. I've had the most luck with XMonad.Layout.Monitor from xmonad-contrib, but the functionality to specify a rectangle for the window doesn't seem to work and the window stops rendering changes after a while (though its subwindows work fine)
2023-03-30 17:59:33 +0000 <geekosaur> hm. report that please https://github.com/xmonad/xmonad-contrib/issues/new
2023-03-30 18:04:02 +0000 <Zetaeta> Sure, I'll try get a minimal reproduction of it now
2023-03-30 18:04:56 +0000 <geekosaur> the downside of a big contrib library is it contains a lot of stuff that may never have been actually used since it was submitted, so we collect bitrot 😞
