Anyone use Dwarf Fortress in Xmonad?
« on: July 07, 2012, 12:49:11 am »

(recreated post here, since DF general is somewhat more relevant)

I currently use Xmonad, a tiling window manager. I'm having some predicaments with Dwarf Fortress' window size/scaling. I set DF to float-full on startup (doFullFloat), but it doesn't apply. When DF starts, the screen flickers for a fraction of a second, and then it just floats manually. When I tile it, the window increases in size, but the actual graphics stay at the default size no matter what, regardless of how I change the size of the window (even if I float it manually). If I start DF floated and manually tile it, it works as expected.

On another note, Stonesense will not float at all, even with rules that definitely should affect it.

Does anyone use Xmonad and play DF that could help me out?

Should this go in general discussion for DF or something?

At the time, I supposed that since perhaps the issue pertained primarily to Xmonad's configuration, not so much DF, that this post belonged here. It may indeed be more appropriate in DF general, however... I shall post there instead and put a link at the top of my initial post.

EDIT: done.
