A Few Xmonad Layout Examples

Every once in a while in #xmonad someone will ask for examples of some of the available layouts for xmonad or if there exists a layout gallery of sorts. There isn’t. I thought perhaps it would be useful to have a few examples of some of the common, and not so common, layouts that one can use for xmonad. Regarding how to include these layouts in your configuration, read the docs on the LayoutHook

Clearly this can be expanded so if anyone would like to see more examples or has suggestions please let me know.

    Thanks for the gallery – I knew of most of these already. I am not a full time XMonad user at all (I’ve only dabbled), and I was wondering, is it possible to get decorations like in simpleDecoration Tall on any layout? Or is that layout specific, meaning I’d have to reimplement it on my favorite layouts?

    simpleDecoration can be used for any layout. For the image in question I used simpleDeco shrinkText defaultTheme (layoutHook defaultConfig) which is the example string included in the layout code.
