XMobar is hidden in XMonad's first workspace

Question

I installed XMonad and XMobar with the configured settings. When I start XMonad, XMobar on any one without the first workspace is a docking station, and open programs are located below XMobar, but on the first workspace, when I open any program, XMobar becomes hidden. These are my XMonad and XMobar configurations:

--XMonad: import XMonad import XMonad.Util.Run(spawnPipe) import XMonad.Hooks.DynamicLog import XMonad.Hooks.ManageDocks import XMonad.Util.EZConfig(additionalKeys) import System.IO main = do xmproc <- spawnPipe "xmobar ~/.xmobarrc" xmonad $ defaultConfig { manageHook = manageDocks <+> manageHook defaultConfig , layoutHook = avoidStruts $ layoutHook defaultConfig , logHook = dynamicLogWithPP xmobarPP { ppOutput = hPutStrLn xmproc , ppTitle = xmobarColor "green" "" . shorten 50 } , borderWidth = 2 , terminal = "terminator" , normalBorderColor = "#cccccc" , focusedBorderColor = "#cd8b00" } --XMobar: Config { font = "-misc-fixed-*-*-*-*-33-*-*-*-*-*-*-*" , bgColor = "black" , fgColor = "grey" , position = TopW L 90 , commands = [ Run Cpu ["-L","3","-H","50", "--normal","green","--high","red"] 10 , Run Memory ["-t","Mem: <usedratio>%"] 10 , Run Swap [] 10 , Run Com "uname" ["-s","-r"] "" 36000 , Run Date "%a %b %_d %Y %H:%M:%S" "date" 10 , Run Com "~/.xmonad/batt" [] "" 300 , Run StdinReader ] , sepChar = "%" , alignSep = "}{" , template = "%StdinReader% }{ %cpu% | %memory% | %.xmonad/batt% | <fc=#ee9a00>%date%</fc>" } 

Answer 1

I had the same problem with xmobar v0.24 and xmonad v0.12. I also ran into a problem on all workspaces when quickly recompiling (meta-q). I fixed this by setting overrideRedirect to False in . Xmobarrc .

overrideRedirect

If you run xmobar in a paginated window manager, you may need to set this parameter to False so that it works as a docked application. The default value is True.
