Terminal in the form of transparent wallpaper in xmonad

Question

I recently switched to xmonad and I'm trying to pull it up a bit. I would like to configure the terminal as a transparent background ( https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Terminal_as_a_transparent_wallpaper ). In principle, I will need a window that is located at the bottom of each workspace, which cannot be moved, locked or closed and get focus only when it is open only in this workspace. So far, I have managed to make the window boring in order to get the focal behavior that I want, but I cannot make it float and stay below everything else. Is there any way to do this? Or maybe a way to make this window, but allow it to type commands?

Answer 1

Basically, you can let xmonad ignore it, for example, what you did with conky or plank .

my example ( https://github.com/suzumiyasmith/MyXmonad/blob/d71796f9a72f98d4b97dcaebe9d4905841431b8b/src/xmonad.hs#L145 )

• set a specific class name for this name.
• Get a window through a query for a name or class.
• ignore him.
