-- Lets you constrain the aspect ratio of a floating

--
-- Useful for making a nice circular XClock window.

-- $usage
--
-- You can use this module with the following in your @~\/.xmonad\/xmonad.hs@:
--
-- > import qualified XMonad.Actions.ConstrainedResize as Sqr
--
-- Then add something like the following to your mouse bindings:
--
-- >     , ((modMask, button3),               (\w -> focus w >> Sqr.mouseResizeWindow w False))
-- >     , ((modMask .|. shiftMask, button3), (\w -> focus w >> Sqr.mouseResizeWindow w True ))
--
-- The line without the shiftMask replaces the standard mouse resize
-- function call, so it's not completely necessary but seems neater
-- this way.
--
-- For detailed instructions on editing your mouse bindings, see
-- "XMonad.Doc.Extending#Editing_mouse_bindings".
