05:03:23 <Guest58> hello, I had a quick question about some xmonad configuration. I have three monitors and I am using IndependentScreens. The independent workspaces work  just fine and like i want them to (9 workspaces per screen), but when I first start XMonad all three screens are places on the 3 workspaces of my leftmost monitor. In other words, they are showing
05:03:24 <Guest58> the left monitor's workspaces, and I have to manually adjust the workspaces to make each screen start at the proper workspaces (i.e., screen 1 starts at workspace 1, screen2 starts at workspace 10, screen3 starts at workspace 19)
05:03:53 <Guest58> i also would like to know if there is a possible way i could change a workspace on another screen without focusing the screen

06:43:38 <Drishal[m]> aaa that xmobar/xmonad issue is driving me crazy lmao

06:44:35 <Drishal[m]> Full layout for some reason does not cover the entire screen lmao
06:47:15 <Drishal[m]> (my config)
06:47:15 <Drishal[m]> https://gitlab.com/drishal/dotfiles/-/tree/master/xmonad
06:47:56 <Drishal[m]> anyone please help me why does the ToggleLayout does not make it proper fullscreen and still displays the bar?

07:20:19 <Solid> Drishal[m]: you probably need to add avoidStruts to that toggled layout as well
07:24:03 <Drishal[m]> Solid: nope
07:24:36 <Drishal[m]> interestingly enough even if I add ```haskell
07:24:36 <Drishal[m]> myLayout = avoidStruts $ noBorders Full```
07:24:36 <Drishal[m]> yet the xmobar shows up
07:24:49 <Drishal[m]> s///, s///
07:25:03 <Drishal[m]> * interestingly enough even if I keep only ` myLayout = avoidStruts $ noBorders Full`
07:25:03 <Drishal[m]> yet the xmobar shows up
07:25:19 <Drishal[m]> and even on removing avoidStruts still RIP
07:26:08 <Drishal[m]> BUT interestingly if I press the keybind for ` , ("M-S-m", setLayout $ Layout myLayout)` then it works 🤔
07:27:06 <Drishal[m]> seems like `layoutHook = myLayout ` either ` layoutHook = myLayout ,` is not working properly or I have set it in a wrong way
07:27:15 <Drishal[m]> s/`layoutHook = myLayout `//
07:27:48 <Drishal[m]> or something strange is happening here... (full message at https://libera.ems.host/_matrix/media/r0/download/libera.chat/ad69913a918ebaa7088cbc11379b54793d47b27b)
07:32:31 <Drishal[m]> * works 🤔 (if I dont use avoidStruts ofc
07:32:48 <Drishal[m]> this is something absolutely strange which does not make any sense to me
07:38:48 <Drishal[m]> hmm seems like for some reason by default it turns on avoidstruts by default
07:47:10 <Drishal[m]> I figured out whats happening
07:47:30 <Drishal[m]> for some reason xmonad likes to keep avoidstruts on my default
08:03:22 <Drishal[m]> aaaaa ffs why tf does avoid struts kick in
08:03:58 <Drishal[m]> I even tried this... (full message at https://libera.ems.host/_matrix/media/r0/download/libera.chat/1578973277e2780517a36705aa388db86bb98e9b)
08:11:36 <Drishal[m]> hmm its something on this line which is causing avoidStruts to kick in by defualt
08:11:36 <Drishal[m]> ```haskell
08:11:36 <Drishal[m]> . withEasySB (statusBarProp "/home/drishal/.local/bin/xmobar ~/dotfiles/xmobar/xmobar-dracula.hs" (pure myXmobarPP)) defToggleStrutsKey
08:11:36 <Drishal[m]> ```
08:18:33 <Drishal[m]> is there any way to disable avoidstruts by default in withEasySB?
08:21:24 <Solid> no, withEasySB adds avoidStruts in either case
08:21:35 <Solid> withSB does not add it (which is what withEasySB wraps)
08:22:10 <Solid> Your layout issues are due to the fact that layouts can set state and xmonad keeps that around after a restart (which is usually what you want, just not in this case)
08:22:21 <Solid> resetting the state then makes things like avoidStruts work
08:22:31 <Solid> i.e., this will also work after a restart or something
08:22:37 <Solid> you don't have to do it every time
08:23:32 <Drishal[m]> Solid: hmm I found here in the source https://xmonad.github.io/xmonad-docs/xmonad-contrib/src/XMonad.Hooks.StatusBar.html
08:23:37 Drishal[m] uploaded an image: (125KiB) < https://libera.ems.host/_matrix/media/r0/download/matrix.org/sExmMfptIegJVJlwauAsjCyE/image.png >
08:24:36 <Drishal[m]> now the question is, how do I go about modifying this so that it does not use avoidStruts?
08:25:12 <Solid> like I said, just use withSB
08:25:19 <Solid> that one's also exported
08:25:27 <Drishal[m]> Solid: an example?
08:26:59 <Solid> remove the defToggleStrutsKey from your call to withEasySB and replace that function with withSB
08:27:06 <Solid> that should work; the APIs are rather similar
08:27:28 <Solid> but at this point I'm not sure what your problem is; didn't you want to _not_ have xmobar above windows?
08:27:38 <Solid> in which case, don't you _want_ avoidStruts?
08:30:12 <Drishal[m]> Solid: I want to set avoidStruts manually in myLayout so that it does not intefere with `Full`
08:30:20 Drishal[m] sent a haskell code block: https://libera.ems.host/_matrix/media/r0/download/libera.chat/648b60c8a11c5b46e0ffca1e08069cb4b69141d1
08:30:24 <Drishal[m]> like this?
08:30:56 <Drishal[m]> * ```haskell... (full message at https://libera.ems.host/_matrix/media/r0/download/libera.chat/cd2d0bbfce61e304e91826bec0d17c40883db4ba)
08:31:47 <Solid> sure
08:31:53 <Solid> but I'm still a bit confused; your original question was "[...] why does the ToggleLayout [...] still displays the bar?"
08:32:12 <Solid> in which case you do want avoidStruts on the toggled full layout
08:32:44 <Solid> you also said "BUT interestingly if I press the keybind for [...] then it works"
08:32:57 <Solid> which would suggest manually adding avoidStruts to toggle Full in your previous config indeed worked?
08:33:31 <Drishal[m]> Solid: nope its togglestruts which causes the bar to display
08:34:10 <Drishal[m]> and btw using withSB instead of easySB it finally works
08:34:10 <Drishal[m]> I can now toggle fullscreen without isses, thanks for help
08:34:40 <Solid> well if it works for you then I'm happy, although still confused :D
08:39:16 <Drishal[m]> Solid: what happens is... (full message at https://libera.ems.host/_matrix/media/r0/download/libera.chat/19d590f4ef266da82643a383d4d2aa0c70b9eaa8)
08:40:07 <Solid> oooooooh you _don't_ want avoidStruts with Full
08:40:17 <Solid> well I somehow managed to get the entire conversation wrong
08:40:27 <Solid> and yet we still managed to fix your issue \o/
08:43:58 <Drishal[m]> Solid: exactly
08:43:58 <Drishal[m]> I only want in very specific layout(s) lmao
