Re: [i3] i3 4.8 layout file hides my status bar and floating windows
You’re saying you’re running v4.8. I think the problem you are seeing is fixed with commit 679a5de8cfb9211afb1a1dd882e53bd672084754, so please upgrade to the “next” git branch and retry. Check the output “i3 --moreversion”, it should display “Running i3 version: 4.8-115-g0125530 (2014-11-06, branch "next")” On Wed, Nov 5, 2014 at 2:18 PM, Sargrad, Dave wrote: > I am using i3 4.8 with the layout file at the bottom of this e-mail. > > When I append this, everything works ok (my windows layout as I expect them > too, and applications get swallowed correctly) except I hide my status bar > (the roughly 20 pixel high status bar that includes a set of buttons that > allows me to select workspaces to focus).

[i3] i3 4.8 layout file hides my status bar and floating windows
I am using i3 4.8 with the layout file at the bottom of this e-mail. When I append this, everything works ok (my windows layout as I expect them too, and applications get swallowed correctly) except I hide my status bar (the roughly 20 pixel high status bar that includes a set of buttons that allows me to select workspaces to focus). The status bar still exists, but it seems to be hidden by the appended layout. The other problem is that when I toggle a tiled window to a floating window it also gets hidden rather than floating properly (within this appended workspace). Two other notes of interest, when I close all the windows in this appended layout i3 seems to hang for a bit (as evidenced by the hourglass cursor) before it finally returns to normal operation. Additionally despite the fact that other workspaces are not directly accessible (since I can't get to the workspace selector in the statusbar), I am able to send them a focus message and they do focus properly. I am also able to send the appended workspace (the one that has this "hiding problem") a focus message and have it come back into focus. How can I tweak this layout so that I don’t hide my statusbar and floating windows? { "border": "normal", "floating": "auto_off", "fullscreen_mode": 1, "layout": "splith", "nodes": [ { "border": "normal", "floating": "user_off", "geometry": { "height": 316, "width": 499, "x": 0, "y": 0 }, "layout": "splith", "name": "user1@company-90076-2:~/work/cwpmash", "percent": 0.5, "swallows": [ { "class": "^XTerm$" } ], "type": "con" }, { "border": "normal", "floating": "auto_off", "layout": "splitv", "nodes": [ { "border": "normal", "floating": "auto_off", "layout": "splith", "nodes": [ { "border": "normal", "floating": "auto_off", "geometry": { "height": 316, "width": 499, "x": 0, "y": 0 }, "layout": "splith", "name": "user1@company-90076-2:~", "percent": 0.40875593123030751, "swallows": [ { "class": "^XTerm$" } ], "type": "con" }, { "border": "normal", "floating": "auto_off", "geometry": { "height": 316, "width": 499, "x": 0, "y": 0 }, "layout": "splith", "name": "user1@company-90076-2:~/work/cwpmash", "percent": 0.25791073543635906, "swallows": [ { "class": "^XTerm$" } ], "type": "con" }, { "border": "normal", "floating": "auto_off", "geometry": { "height": 316, "width": 499, "x": 0, "y": 0 }, "layout": "splith", "name": "user1@company-90076-2:/home/user1", "percent": 0.33343, "swallows": [ { "class": "^XTerm$" } ], "type": "con" } ], "percent": 0.2966101694915253, "type": "con" }, { "border": "normal", "floating": "user_off", "geometry": { "height": 993, "width": 1337,
