Sorry, it's late. Anyway, the original post was about a patch. I think
uriel meant that it would make more sense to just write an external bar
than to write the patch. I happen to disagree and would more likely write
the patch than an external bar, mainly for the archetecture that's already
present in wmii.
What's the problem with being /lbar editable, and /rbar like
now? That is what I have in mind (because it makes no sense
to allow status info being editable).
The change that uriel is talking about is making the bar one text string
that's split left/right at the first | with words prefixed with # being view
names and ones prefixed with * also being selected. He also wants to be able
to edit the time to change it. Don't try to argue with *me* over this, it's
uriel's argument not mine.
