How to join those two config parts together?

649 Views Asked by At

In my xmonad config I have the following:

main = do 
  xmproc <- spawnPipe "xmobar -x 0 ~.config/xmobar/xmobar.config"
  xmonad $ docks defaults

But having problems with chrome, I need to add this:

import XMonad
import XMonad.Hooks.EwmhDesktops

main = xmonad $ ewmh def{ handleEventHook =
           handleEventHook def <+> fullscreenEventHook }

I am not sure how to combine those two. So to keep the xmobar config, the docks defaults and the ewmh

I tried this

main = do 
  xmproc <- spawnPipe "xmobar -x 0 ~.config/xmobar/xmobar.config"
  xmonad $ ewmh def{ handleEventHook =
           handleEventHook def <+> fullscreenEventHook }

But I need to add docks too.

UPDATE:

Thank you for your suggestion Li-yao Xia. I tried this:

  xmproc <- spawnPipe "xmobar -x 0 ~/.config/xmobar/xmobar.config"
  xmonad $ docks defaults $ ewmh def{ handleEventHook =
     handleEventHook def <+> fullscreenEventHook }

But that gives error

XMonad will use ghc to recompile, because "/home/adam/.xmonad/build" does not exist.

Note that docks and ewmh both take a config

docks :: XConfig a -> XConfig a
ewmh  :: XConfig a -> XConfig a

they are functions, that can be composed

  xmonad $ docks $ ewmh def{ handleEventHook =
           handleEventHook def <+> fullscreenEventHook }

You also appear to have a custom config defaults :: XConfig a, which you can probably use in place of def (which is the default provided by XMonad itself)

  xmonad $ docks $ ewmh defaults{ handleEventHook =
           handleEventHook defaults <+> fullscreenEventHook }

  -- note there are two occurrences of "defaults" here (you definitely want the first one, and the second one matters if defaults and def have different definitions of handleEventHook)
