Was that implemented?
Not that I know of. Michael said at the time that it would not be hard to implement and asked whether anybody else might want this new feature. Actually, I think that now I understand your second question about margins (?) -- you would be talking about every "sub-window" or "partition of the screen" having some line of sorts on all its four sides, right? That would amount to turning screen into some form of windowing system, a bit along the lines of your typical Window Manager? Google for "raggle" & "screenshots" and you'll find an RSS aggregator that does this in a way. But then the problem is that if screen did something similar, such applications would probably not look too good when running under screen. So it's probably better to leave it at that? The main issue that I had with screen's vertical split was the slowness of paging/searching. Since as per Michael this is something that is not trivial to address (see the thread I mentioned earlier) .. I decided I wasn't going to use the vertical split feature for now. I posted a couple of screenshots of what I came up with when testing the new vertical split feature that are still visible at: http://www.geocities.com/fcky1000/fcky/screen0.png http://www.geocities.com/fcky1000/fcky/screen1.png I think the second screenshot in particular would look a bit better if there was a thin (1 pixel wide?) continuous vertical line clearly delimiting the two halves of the display. In any case, the hardstatus line is the one right at the bottom that has all the window names, the date and time, and the system's monitoring counters .. the caption line is the one above it, with the names/numbers of the screens that are currently displayed. Note, that these screenshots show everything that's visible on my screen. I did away with all window manager decorations such as titlebars, scrollbars, etc. when I decided they were taking up space without adding anything useful that I could see. :-) The nice thing IMO .. is that apart from the number of colors, this makes it impossible to tell whether I'm running screen under X or a linux console. _______________________________________________ screen-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/screen-users
