The bar is planned to be replaced with a tagbar. The bar will still be there, just in a different form. See acme's tagbars for an example. It would also be wise to read about plumbing if you really care that much about the internals. For those of you who wind up hating it, I'm sure there will be a patch to give the bar its current form in the future, so don't fret too much.
An external app could provide pretty much the current bar functionality if anyone wants it, something like winwatch(1) but for pages might make sense. What is needed is a way to 1) resize the managed area(across all views?) 2) make floating clients 'sticky' (ie., stay in place across views); neither seems particularly hard once wmii internals are cleaned up. uriel _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://wmii.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/wmii
