xmonad config

this is rather simple xmobar config of mine. see xmonad.hs for details.

dependencies

this config will work only for xmonad >=0.17!

this list can be different depending on distro, consult your distro’s package list for specific package names.

• libxext-dev
• libxrandr-dev
• libxss-dev

installation

this guide assumes that xmonad-0.17 is available from your distro’s repos. if it’s not the case, the better option is to use stack to build latest xmonad, xmonad-contrib and xmobar (see example/ for details).

1. install xmonad through your package manager.

2. clone this repository to ~/.config/xmonad

   $ git clone https://git.aaoth.xyz/xmonad-config.git ~/.config/xmonad
   

3. copy example/xmonad.desktop file to /usr/share/xsessions if you are using display manager

   $ sudo cp xmonad.desktop /usr/share/xsessions
   

   otherwise, add this to your ~/.xinitrc:

   exec xmonad
   

4. log in and enjoy
