ManageDocks changes
The XMonad.Hooks.ManageDocks
strut cache, introduced (buggily) in 0.12, has been rewritten. The current version requires, in addition to docksEventHook
which became required in 0.12), addition of docksStartupHook
to initialize the strut cache from existing windows.
A new docks
combinator was also added; it adds all of the hooks needed to a config. This is now the preferred way to use ManageDocks
, as it can be kept up to date with any new hooks that might be added in the future without requiring user config changes.
