Is this Xmonad under OSX?


Would love more details on how you did this


It is indeed!


Does it only work for your terminal windows or can you tile any window? Any details on how you set it up, I can't seem to find a lot of info about it.


You won't be able to use xmonad to manage normal OS X apps. X11 will just be another OS X application sitting in your dock that you can switch to. However, it is pretty easy to install a decent set of X11 apps. If you have MacPorts installed you can install the packages firefox-x11, rxvt-unicode, unclutter, and 'vim +gtk2' (the +gtk2 variant for PRIMARY/CLIPBOARD support) to get started.

Only X/console apps. I primarily use it for vim + zsh.

The easiest way to set it up is to download the Haskell Platform, then cabal install xmonad, and get urxvt through homebrew.

I have my dotfiles up if you want to have a look: github.com/cloudhead/dotfiles.git
