-- 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 'dzen' function, which sets up a dzen status bar with a default
-- format:
--
-- > main = dzen xmonad
--
-- or, to use this with your own custom xmonad configuration,
--
-- > main = dzen $ \conf -> xmonad $ conf { <your customizations> }
--
-- Alternatively, you can choose among several default status bar
-- formats ('dynamicLog', 'dynamicLogDzen', 'dynamicLogXmobar', 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:
--
-- > 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. Output
-- is taken from the dynamicLogWithPP hook.
--
-- > main = dzen xmonad
--
-- The intent is that the above config file should provide a nice
-- status bar with minimal effort.  If you want to customize your xmonad
-- configuration while using this, you'll have to do something like
--
-- > main = dzen $ \conf -> xmonad $ conf { <your customized settings...> }
--
-- If you wish to customize the status bar format at all, you'll have to
-- use something like 'dynamicLogWithPP' instead.
