is in use. This is particularly helpful for tiled layouts where the focus
determines what is visible.

layoutHook = trackFloating
(noBorders Full ||| Tall 1 0.3 0.5),
...
})
</pre></div><h2 id="g:2">For other layout modifiers
</h2><div class="doc"><p>It also corrects focus issues for full-like layouts inside other layout
modifiers:
</p><pre> import XMonad.Layout.IM
import XMonad.Layout.Tabbed
import XMonad.Layout.TrackFloating
import XMonad.Layout.Reflect
</pre><pre> gimpLayout = withIM 0.11 (Role "gimp-toolbox") $ reflectHoriz
$ withIM 0.15 (Role "gimp-dock") (trackFloating simpleTabbed)
</pre><p>Interactions with some layout modifiers (ex. decorations, minimizing) are
unknown but likely unpleasant.
