The default setup is based on plain xmonad together with xmobar. There are also configs for Gnome and Xfce4, but they are a bit shaky at times.
Edit .xsession to your fit your needs. Log out and choose the XMonad
session.
Running xmonad under session management has some advantages: * Automatic startup of various services (settings manager, keyring daemon, etc.) * Controlled logout using gnome-session-quit * Keyboard layout indicator/selector in the system tray
To make things look nice, you may have to specify the themes manually:
~/.gtkrc-2.0::
gtk-theme-name = "Adwaita"
gtk-icon-theme-name = "Ubuntu-mono-dark"
gtk-font-name = "Ubuntu 11"
~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini::
[Settings]
gtk-application-prefer-dark-theme=0
gtk-theme-name = "Adwaita"
gtk-icon-theme-name = "Ubuntu-mono-dark"
gtk-font-name = "Ubuntu 11"
