2023-07-29 00:02:07 +0200 <zawaken> wait a bit before you merge, I think I hadn't tested it completely before I made the PR.
2023-07-29 00:02:24 +0200 <zawaken> getting some errors, but this might be my config as well.
2023-07-29 00:10:08 +0200 <geekosaur> your changes were fine
2023-07-29 00:10:37 +0200 <zawaken> Yeah I just messed up my config. thanks, they work well, got a bit panicked
2023-07-29 00:15:32 +0200 <zawaken> Hmm, might need to update the docs for this though, so it is a bit more visible that it is possible?
2023-07-29 00:19:52 +0200 <geekosaur> haddock should handle that when this is committed
2023-07-29 00:20:16 +0200 <zawaken> Nice
2023-07-29 00:20:24 +0200 <geekosaur> btw, if you had actually used your example in the PR instead of expanding it inline then you'd have gotten a more comprehensible error message 🙂
2023-07-29 00:21:44 +0200 <geekosaur> or at least a less intimidating one
2023-07-29 00:23:20 +0200 <geekosaur> I would also include a comment saying where I got it and what I'd changed, so I'll know what it's on about 6 months from now 🙂
2023-07-29 00:28:05 +0200 <zawaken> What do you mean with the comment?
2023-07-29 00:29:02 +0200 <zawaken> Yeah can't really say that the error was nice about it :D

2023-07-29 00:30:09 +0200 <zawaken> aha, added it
2023-07-29 00:53:59 +0200 <[Leary]> zawaken: This isn't that important, but re the changelog entry: the changes are already filed under the module name, so there's no need to reference the file name too. I'd also slim down the wording a bit more, something like: "Exposed `Toggle(..)` and the `Mag` constructor to allow [...]".
2023-07-29 01:20:11 +0200 <zawaken> Aight, I'll change it a bit
2023-07-29 01:29:21 +0200 <zawaken> There, now I think it is more better

2023-07-29 03:36:36 +0200 <galactic_starfis> Curious, what's the word on Wayland progress? Anything new since the GH post?

2023-07-29 04:33:48 +0200 <galactic_starfis> On that note...
2023-07-29 04:34:17 +0200 <galactic_starfis> Perhaps we could opt for setting a bounty with the sponsor money? Try and attract some attention...
2023-07-29 04:36:31 +0200 <Hmmf> I thought there was no interest in a direct port. There is waymonad but the repo is rather calm.

2023-07-29 05:19:35 +0200 <absta[m]> Maybe it is the fastest for someone to learn Rust and create a xmonad analog as compositor

2023-07-29 16:01:49 +0200 <liskin> I think the biggest blocker on our side is that someone would need to do the managing/mentoring/paperwork and nobody got capacity/skills to do that.

2023-07-29 16:03:19 +0200 <liskin> When I was setting up this whole Github sponsors thing I forgot to account for the (in retrospect obviously most likely) outcome that I'd need to get a day job anyway and that it'll burn me out completely. :-(
2023-07-29 16:04:55 +0200 <liskin> Are there any reasonably good Rust libs/bindings to Wayland stuff? Like wlroots?
2023-07-29 16:05:09 +0200 <liskin> Last time I checked it looked a bit sad.
2023-07-29 16:06:37 +0200 <liskin> (I know a bit of Rust so if I get fired I might as well play with it a bit... But then maybe I should just pack my stuff onto a touring bicycle and leave civilization for a while instead. :-))
2023-07-29 16:29:02 +0200 <zawaken> from my limited research, it seems Smithay on github might be something, but from a waycooler blog post from 2019, the creator of wlroots-rs and waycooler writes Smithay is very incomplete, but ofc it could have gotten a ton better in 4 years
2023-07-29 16:29:22 +0200 <zawaken> waycooler is archived though :/

2023-07-29 18:05:36 +0200 <taman> After changing the height of my xmobar, I see it take effect in xmobar. But not in xmonad, which ignores it. If I open a terminal, most of xmobar is hidden under the terminal. How do I fix this, please?
2023-07-29 18:07:49 +0200 <vrs> e
2023-07-29 18:07:56 +0200 <vrs> restarting xmonad should do it
2023-07-29 18:08:26 +0200 <vrs> (usually mod-q)
2023-07-29 18:09:55 +0200 <taman> vrs: unfortunately it did not
2023-07-29 18:13:58 +0200 <vrs> mod-shift-space then?
2023-07-29 18:17:17 +0200 <taman> Nothing happens. I can restart by restarting the X server, it doesn't change.
2023-07-29 18:18:28 +0200 <vrs> do you have static gaps configured in your layout?

2023-07-29 18:22:38 +0200 <taman> I have no idea :) How do I tell?

2023-07-29 18:24:57 +0200 <taman> I can paste my xmonad.hs ?
2023-07-29 18:30:14 +0200 <vrs> use a pastebin but yes
2023-07-29 18:34:36 +0200 <taman> Here you go, <https://paste.debian.net/1287316/>
2023-07-29 18:34:44 +0200 <taman> thanks for looking at this
2023-07-29 18:45:59 +0200 <vrs> yeah that's a static layout, the easy fix is to adjust the gap in your gaps layout from (U,15) to whatever you need now
2023-07-29 18:48:13 +0200 <taman> Thanks, I'll try it...
2023-07-29 18:49:05 +0200 <vrs> the flexible way is to use avoidStruts from X.M.ManageDocks (https://hackage.haskell.org/package/xmonad-contrib-0.17.1/docs/XMonad-Hooks-ManageDocks.html)
2023-07-29 18:51:42 +0200 <taman> No change :( I tried 'U, 50' and I've recompiled, which reported success, then 'xmonad --restart', but it's just the same.
2023-07-29 18:52:00 +0200 <taman> I'll look at that link, thanks
2023-07-29 18:52:02 +0200 <geekosaur> there you will need mod-shift-space because the type of your layout didn'[t change
2023-07-29 18:52:23 +0200 <taman> oh! Now it works!
2023-07-29 18:52:26 +0200 <geekosaur> and xmonad can't tell which things came from xmonad.hs and which from keybindings like mod-h etc.
2023-07-29 18:52:56 +0200 <taman> Thanks, that's got me much further than I was!
2023-07-29 18:53:28 +0200 <taman> Thanks vrs, geekosaur

2023-07-29 22:22:54 +0200 <zawaken> I think the only issue is that none of those are anywhere near as good as XMonad, I haven't tested most of them fully, but quite a few of them use the server/ctl type of configuration, maybe QTile could be something, as it supports wayland.
2023-07-29 22:23:14 +0200 <zawaken> I might be a bit biased though
2023-07-29 22:24:57 +0200 <MrElendig> qtile is close in that its also basically "write your own window manager" type of configuration
2023-07-29 22:25:22 +0200 <zawaken> Yeah, I really dig that type of configuration
