-- A layout that splits the screen horizontally and shows two windows.  The
-- left window is always the master window, and the right is either the
-- currently focused window or the second window in layout order.
--
-- To use this layout, 'import XMonadContrib.TwoPane' and add
-- 'twoPane defaultDelta (1%2)' to the list of layouts
