Hi, i was alway seeking for an alternative to tools like zenity or xosd wich would integrate well with dwm.
Well, you guess it, I couldn't find any :). Thats why i wrote a small and simple utility called 'dzen'. It will take any message from standard input and display it in a very similar way to 'dmenu'. 'dzen' takes a couple of options (see README) and basically displays a message for a specified period of time (defaulting to 5 seconds). To get rid of the message before it times out simply click with any mouse button onto it. Example: echo -n "This is a message" | dzen -bg darkred -fg grey80 -fn fixed -t 10 Anyone that might find it useful can get it here: http://gotmor.googlepages.com/dzen-0.3.tar.gz Bye, Rob
