defToggleStrutsKey not working
This should now also be fixed in HEAD: https://github.com/xmonad/xmonad-contrib/commit/90f4a96f933a8ecc014b6def54fb929ee9e73e49

How to check xmonad version?
If you're on NixOS then definitely look into /u/LSLeary's excellent flake! (docs)

XMonad on NixOS
Perhaps you're not aware of the module exposed by the xmonad-contrib flake? It can do most of the setup for you. See the NixOS Modules section of https://github.com/xmonad/xmonad-contrib/blob/master/NIX.md.

Mimic LeftWM's CenterdMainFluid in Xmonad?
There is X.L.CenteredIfSingle. However, it didn't land in 0.17.0, so you'll have to either wait for 0.17.1 (dropping soon, I promise!), compile xmonad from git, or just copy the file as-is (which should be doable) into your configuration.

Applying window decorations in xmonad while there is onlmore than one window
Btw there is an alternative way to implement smart bar using `AltMax` from xmonad-contrib but I'm not using it because of this [known bug](https://github.com/xmonad/xmonad-contrib/issues/75).
- Key bind to remove borders around windows??

Custom Xomobar output
Note that the linked solution is a bit buggy (see here). But regarding your question, it's as simple as it gets. You could maybe replace (getModeName <$> (XS.get :: X ModeName)) with XS.gets getModeNameand maybe defining it somewhere else (e.g. logMode :: Logger), but that's really it. You could wait for #703 to be merged (whenever that may be), or just take the code from there (PSA: still in a rough state, undocumented, and very likely will change) and roll with it: it is xmonad after all, your config is going to be compiled anyway!

I found an 8 years old bug in Xorg
Picom has an awesome feature [0] that, for the sake of all our eyes, should come by default on every device with a screen. It can continuously adjust the brightness of individual windows by averaging all the pixels in that window. It's great for defending against "flashbangs" (when a new tab burns your eyes with a blank white screen).

How to make Openbox look good with ease?
Picom is a lightweight standalone compositor created for the X Window System. It is a fork of Compton (which is a fork of xcompmgr-dana, which is also a fork of xcompmgr) and it is suitable for use with window managers like Openbox that do not provide compositing effects on their own. If you want to learn more about its history, then you should visit this page or, if you are interested in knowing a bit more about it, you can check its page on the Arch wiki.

Also I took a census and zero founding members of NWA are "straight outta Picom". That's right, you heard it here first: Not even MC Ren is running Picom.

FPS drops when scrolling in monocle layout with Picom
Update: after reporting in picom GitHub repo this is temporarily solved by using --no-frame-pacing. Looks like a recent commit causes this. You can view the discussion here: https://github.com/yshui/picom/issues/1072

In Picom with the rounded-corners setting how do you apply alpha to the menu list?
It looks like this was identified and the repo corrected in Jan (https://github.com/yshui/picom/issues/808) but the NixOS package has not been updated since Nov.
