I am using this config http://github.com/vicfryzel/xmonad-config because of ease of use.
It does not require anything gnome related aside from the terminal.
Figuring out how to get xmonad to look good on a retina display running ubuntu on parallels was a slight pain.
- Configure parallels to use the native retina display resolution rather than scaling up.
- Install gnome-tweak-tool. Set preferred scaling value for fonts (1.5 in my case).
- Add the following to .xsessionrc: gnome-settings-daemon &
- Firefox: about:config -> layout.css.devPixelsPerPx set to 2.0
Restart xmonad.
It was pure luck that I figured out that gnome-settings-daemon was required to get the gnome-tweak-tool changes to actually work.
