-- xmonad calls the logHook with every internal state update, which is
-- useful for (among other things) outputting status information to an
-- external status bar program such as xmobar or dzen. DynamicLog
-- provides several drop-in logHooks for this purpose, as well as
-- flexible tools for specifying your own formatting.

-- $usage
-- You can use this module with the following in your @~\/.xmonad\/xmonad.hs@:
--
-- > import XMonad
-- > import XMonad.Hooks.DynamicLog
--
-- If you just want a quick-and-dirty status bar with zero effort, try
-- the 'xmobar' or 'dzen' functions:
--
-- > main = xmonad =<< xmobar conf
--
-- There is also 'statusBar' if you'd like to use another status bar, or would
-- like to use different formatting options. The 'xmobar', 'dzen', and
-- 'statusBar' functions are preferred over the other options listed below, as
-- they take care of all the necessary plumbing -- no shell scripting required!
--
-- Alternatively, you can choose among several default status bar formats
-- ('dynamicLog' or 'dynamicLogXinerama') by simply setting your logHook to the
-- appropriate function, for instance:
--
-- > main = xmonad $ defaultConfig {
-- > ...
-- > logHook = dynamicLog
-- > ...
-- > }
--
-- For more flexibility, you can also use 'dynamicLogWithPP' and supply
-- your own pretty-printing format (by either defining one from scratch,
-- or customizing one of the provided examples).
-- For example:
--
-- > -- use sjanssen's pretty-printer format, but with the sections
-- > -- in reverse
-- > logHook = dynamicLogWithPP $ sjanssenPP { ppOrder = reverse }
--
-- Note that setting the @logHook@ only sets up xmonad's output; you
-- are responsible for starting your own status bar program (e.g. dzen
-- or xmobar) and making sure xmonad's output is piped into it
-- appropriately, either by putting it in your @.xsession@ or similar
-- file, or by using @spawnPipe@ in your @main@ function, for example:
--
-- > import XMonad.Util.Run -- for spawnPipe and hPutStrLn
-- >
-- > main = do
-- > h <- spawnPipe "xmobar -options -foo -bar"
-- > xmonad $ defaultConfig {
-- > ...
-- > logHook = dynamicLogWithPP $ defaultPP { ppOutput = hPutStrLn h }
--
-- If you use @spawnPipe@, be sure to redefine the 'ppOutput' field of
-- your pretty-printer as in the example above; by default the status
-- will be printed to stdout rather than the pipe you create.
--
-- Even if you don't use a statusbar, you can still use
-- 'dynamicLogString' to show on-screen notifications in response to
-- some events. For example, to show the current layout when it
-- changes, you could make a keybinding to cycle the layout and
-- display the current status:
--
-- > , ((mod1Mask, xK_a ), sendMessage NextLayout >> (dynamicLogString myPP >>= \d->spawn $"xmessage "++d))
--
-- $todo
--
-- * incorporate dynamicLogXinerama into the PP framework somehow
--
-- * add an xmobarEscape function

-- | Run xmonad with a dzen status bar set to some nice defaults.
--
-- > main = xmonad =<< dzen conf
--
-- The intent is that the above config file should provide a nice
-- status bar with minimal effort.
--
-- If you wish to customize the status bar format at all, you'll have to
-- use the 'statusBar' function instead.
--
-- The binding uses the XMonad.Hooks.ManageDocks module to automatically
-- handle screen placement for dzen, and enables 'mod-b' for toggling
-- the menu bar.
