XMonad.Layout.VoidBorders

Contents

- Usage

Description

Modifies a layout to set borders to 0 for all windows in the workspace.

Unlike XMonad.Layout.NoBorders, the `voidBorders` modifier will not restore the window border if the windows are moved to a different workspace or the layout is changed. There is, however, a companion `normalBorders` modifier which explicitly restores the border.

This modifier's primary use is to eliminate the "border flash" you get while switching workspaces with the XMonad.Layout.NoBorders modifier.

Synopsis

- voidBorders :: l Window -> ModifiedLayout VoidBorders l Window
- normalBorders :: l Window -> ModifiedLayout NormalBorders l Window

# Usage

You can use this module with the following in your `xmonad.hs` file:

    import XMonad.Layout.VoidBorders

and modify the layouts to call `voidBorders` on the layouts you want to remove borders from windows, and `normalBorders` on the layouts you want to keep borders for:

    layoutHook = ... ||| voidBorders Full ||| normalBorders Tall ...

For more detailed instructions on editing the layoutHook see the tutorial and XMonad.Doc.Extending.
