- Usage

Description

This module provides a config suitable for use with the MATE desktop environment.

Synopsis

- mateConfig :: XConfig (ModifiedLayout AvoidStruts (Choose Tall (Choose (Mirror Tall) Full)))
- mateRun :: X ()
- mateRegister :: MonadIO m => m ()

# Usage

To use this module, start with the following `~/.xmonad/xmonad.hs`:

    import XMonad
    import XMonad.Config.Mate

    main = xmonad mateConfig

For examples of how to further customize `mateConfig` see XMonad.Config.Desktop.

mateConfig :: XConfig (ModifiedLayout AvoidStruts (Choose Tall (Choose (Mirror Tall) Full)))

mateRun :: X ()

Launch the "Run Application" dialog. mate-panel must be running for this to work.

mateRegister :: MonadIO m => m ()

Register xmonad with mate. 'dbus-send' must be in the $PATH with which xmonad is started.

This action reduces a delay on startup only if you have configured mate-session to start xmonad with a command such as (check local documentation):

    dconf write /org/mate/desktop/session/required_components/windowmanager "'xmonad'"

(the extra quotes are required by dconf)
