Xmonad overlapping polybar

ccutch opened this issue · comments

Hey Jon. Love your setup and using it as a base for my own. I am currently using xmonad and trying to add polybar but having an issue where my xmonad windows will be above my polybar or via versa. Have you ran into this issue? Most google searching came up with issues with i3wm and not xmonad.

I feel like I saw that at some point, and the solution was to make sure I use xmonad's desktop hooks everywhere. Basically, make sure you build on desktopConfig, and that you don't override any of the hooks: https://github.com/jonhoo/configs/blob/14e0e155d28c83504e28f3c5bf0f9fc939b12a1e/xmonad/xmonad.hs#L154L157

That worked like a charm! In my inexperience with haskell I didn't realize what that was doing and thought it was more like setting that as the default vs using the default as a base.
