Hi Lars, Here is version two of the patch (number 4/5) this time adding the updated xmonad and xmonad-contrib versions as new variables. I kept in the previous commit message of the changes relative to the current version (0.16), but wasn't sure if that was appropriate. The xmonad compile patch was added as a new patch and added to local.mk. I don't use xmobar and wasn't sure about that, doesn't seem to have explicit dependencies on xmonad or xmonad-contrib. So I've left it as is, though I'm guessing would need to be rebased due to the line changes? How does that look to you? John
