+# My xmonad config
+
+This is my personal configuration for xmonad.
+This is still work in progress.
+I use my (personal) module [xmonad-custom](https://gitlab.com/kesslermaximilian/xmonad-custom),
+where I collect the main parts of my configuration in modularized form.
+This here is basically just glue code.
