XMonad

What is XMonad?

XMonad is a tiling window manager written and configured in Haskell. Since I have built up my own XMonad config over a few years, it is extremely efficient for me to operate (since it can be managed fully with the keyboard).

With my XMonad setup, there are several auxiliary utilities required to make it a "full desktop environment." A few of these packages include:

  • xmobar - Status bar
  • rofi - App launcher
  • alttab - Window switcher
  • feh - Wallpaper utility
  • pavucontrol and pamixer - Sound and volume control
  • networkmanager_dmenu - Internet connection control
  • brightnessctl - Screen brightness control
  • sct - Adjust screen color temperature
  • xkill and killall - Better than hitting Ctrl+Alt+Delete and waiting a few minutes

My Config

This directory includes my XMonad configuration, which consists of:

  • xmonad.hs - Main configuration
  • startup.sh - Startup script called by XMonad on startup
  • lib/Colors/Stylix.hs.mustache - Mustache template used to generate color library to theme XMonad with Stylix
  • xmobarrc.mustache - Mustache template used to generate my xmobar config themed with Stylix
  • xmonad.nix - Loads XMonad and my configuration (along with any necessary packages for my config) into my flake when imported

My full config is a literate org document (xmonad.org).
