    In addition, I'd need to check what exactly I am should be using for xmonad-extras, since I use a patched BinarySpacePartition, by Samuli Thomasson, that allows it to work just fine with Minimize (see email exchange in xmonad list: https://mail.haskell.org/pipermail/xmonad/2021-May/015432.html). Maybe this patch is now in https://github.com/xmonad/xmonad-extras, but I'd need to check.

    Bullets 1 and 2 I could not do it. I think in your config (https://github.com/IvanMalison/dotfiles/blob/master/dotfiles/config/xmonad/xmonad.hs), around lines 220-224 and then in 995 you do something similar, but I am not doing it right. This is my failed attempt: myDmenuArgs = ["-dmenu", "-i"] myDmenuMinimized = DM.menuArgs "rofi" myDmenuArgs getMinimizedDmenu = myDmenuMinimized (withMinimized)

    - The other way to solve this is what I do in my dotfiles, which is basically to make a small haskell project that is your xmonad-config (see https://github.com/IvanMalison/dotfiles/tree/master/dotfiles/config/xmonad) The reason I do this is because I really don't care for xmonads self recompilation feature, and I like to add some additional dependencies to my xmonad-config (this is also possible with their module, but just more annoying).
