-- $usage
-- You can use this module with the following in your @~\/.xmonad\/xmonad.hs@:
--
-- > import XMonad.Layout.Monitor
--
-- Define 'Monitor' record. 'monitor' can be used as a template. At least 'prop'
-- and 'rect' should be set here. Also consider setting 'persistent' to True.
--
-- Minimal example:
--
-- > myMonitor = monitor
-- >     { prop = ClassName "SomeClass"
-- >     , rect = Rectangle 0 0 40 20 -- rectangle 40x20 in upper left corner
-- >     }
--
-- More interesting example:
--
-- > clock = monitor {
-- >      -- Cairo-clock creates 2 windows with the same classname, thus also using title
-- >      prop = ClassName "Cairo-clock" `And` Title "MacSlow's Cairo-Clock"
-- >      -- rectangle 150x150 in lower right corner, assuming 1280x800 resolution
-- >    , rect = Rectangle (1280-150) (800-150) 150 150
-- >      -- avoid flickering
-- >    , persistent = True
-- >      -- make the window transparent
-- >    , opacity = 0xAAAAAAAA
-- >      -- hide on start
-- >    , visible = False
-- >      -- assign it a name to be able to toggle it independently of others
-- >    , name = "clock"
-- >    }
--
-- Add ManageHook to de-manage monitor windows and apply opacity settings.
--
-- > manageHook = myManageHook <+> manageMonitor clock
--
-- Apply layout modifier.
--
-- > myLayouts = ModifiedLayout clock $ tall ||| Full ||| ...
--
-- After that, if there exists a window with specified properties, it will be
-- displayed on top of all /tiled/ (not floated) windows on specified
-- position.
--
-- It's also useful to add some keybinding to toggle monitor visibility:
--
-- > , ((mod1Mask, xK_u     ), broadcastMessage ToggleMonitor >> refresh)

-- $hints
-- - This module assumes that there is only one window satisfying property exists.
--
-- - If your monitor is available on /all/ layouts, set
-- 'persistent' to 'True' to avoid unnecessary
-- flickering. You can still toggle monitor with a keybinding.
--
-- - You can use several monitors with nested modifiers. Give them names
---  to be able to toggle them independently.
--
-- - You can display monitor only on specific workspaces with
-- "XMonad.Layout.PerWorkspace".

-- $todo
-- - make Monitor remember the window it manages
--
-- - specify position relative to the screen
