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)”

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?

Thank You Michael. I'll try that today or Monday, and will let you know how it
works for me.
Appreciated.

Re: [i3] i3-discuss Digest, Vol 55, Issue 2
I just applied patch 679a5de8cfb9211afb1a1dd882e53bd672084754. Unfortunately I
still see the very same behavior.
I also changed the following line (as suggested by one of the other i3 users)
fullscreen_mode: 1,
To
fullscreen_mode: 0,
This too did not fix the problem.
Please let me know if you would like me to try something else.
Thanks.
I3_VERSION := '$(shell [ -f $(TOPDIR)/I3_VERSION ] cat $(TOPDIR)/I3_VERSION)'
VERSION := '$(shell [ -f $(TOPDIR)/VERSION ] cat $(TOPDIR)/VERSION)'
ifeq ('',$(I3_VERSION))
VERSION := $(shell git describe --tags --abbrev=0)
I3_VERSION := '$(shell git describe --tags --always) ($(shell git log --pretty=f
ormat:%cd --date=short -n1), branch \$(shell git describe --tags --always --all
| sed s:heads/::)\)'
Endif
I think I can just change the VERSION set after ifeq to something
