I like the idea and concept of xmonad, however I still keep going back to gnome
after an hour or so. This feels like when I first tried to learn vim
, but I've gotten past the learning curve point and can't live without vim
nowadays.
I'm sure the time will come for xmonad
too, but I was wondering if current xmonad users can provide transitional tips?
FYI, I'm on dual monitors ( 19 inch and 17 inch ). Example of an issue I'm having while in this "transitional" stage:
How do you manage keeping the browser and other programs that are most commonly used in full screen mode, since by default I think it opens up in a small tile that takes up a portion of the screen? Do you just shortcut it to make it open full screen, or do you actually not maximize it? Or are there advanced methods through preferences in the conf file, making certain programs take up X space?
